I just checked my voter registration. I encourage all of you to do the same. Try your state's official site. AVOID VoteSafe.Org. It's an Elon Musk scam to harvest data.

Gisele Pelicot was drugged and raped by her husband for TEN years. During that time she saw countless doctors for memory loss, STIs, headaches, confusion & vaginal bruising. They all dismissed her. Some diagnosed her with dementia. They could have helped stop the abuse.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

His Holiness leads the Vatican Bowling Team with a 262 average. Cardinal Perolin is scraping the bottom with 197, but I think the Holy Rollers could take it all this year, especially after they canonized Earl Anthony

“DON’T PANIC,” RIGHT? Fine. Don’t panic. ORGANIZE. 📌 A USPS whistleblower is warning the mail-ballot system could face “catastrophic failure” before the midterms. Make your voting plan now. Vote early, in person, or use a secure drop box. Don’t leave your vote to chance.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME!!

Stop glamorizing actors and crew working through illness. The people who make your entertainment on stage and screen are people. This "the show must go on" nonsense is just another part of the stupid grind culture we all grew up with. No business or show is worth your health. Normalize sick days ffs

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

"That link is not there yet, right?" he said. think maybe implicitly there is more that is getting shipped, but it's very hard to draw a line between one of those stats and, 'Okay, now we're actually producing 25% more useful consumer features."
He said that the trade-off costs from Al are harder to justify because he can't draw a direct link. Earlier this month, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in an earnings call that Uber was slowing hiring to counter its investments in AI.

The comment led to what he described as a
"head-exploding moment," sparking discussions about AI token consumption within the company and the trade-offs it creates, such as on head count.
He said that, based on talks with Uber's senior engineering leaders, he realized higher token usage did not translate into a proportional increase in useful consumer features.

This all day. The writing is crap. It's unacceptable for anyone whose job it is to write *anything* to use the shitbox writing AI puts out. It all sounds like a 9th grade essay -- they know all the words but none of the nuance. It's all too vague and puffy. It's garbageeeeeee

#1. This is a lie. #2. Lots of dollars don't go to people who are lawfully, correctly, eligible to receive them. This administration wants to increase that total. #3. This admin has gutted professional anti-fraud tools (e.g. Inspectors Generals) while fueling massive fraud by cronies.

I was at Delaney Hall yesterday. Everything the detainees wrote in their S.O.S. letter is 100% correct. DHS is lying to keep their abuses from being exposed. And to make things worse, they pepper sprayed @kim.senate.gov and are lying about it to cover their tracks.

This is one reason fascist regimes always fail: They hire for loyalty, not for competence. The resistance outnumbers them. It outperforms them. And it always defeats fascism in the end.

FEMA wasn't moved to DHS until 2003. Carter established FEMA as an *independent agency*. We should not have to find murderous thugs in order to fund FEMA. When you call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the DHS appropriations bill, tell them you want a bill to restore FEMA's independence.
