The government of the United States is withholding funds for its needy citizens in 5 democratic states.
This goes against all governing principles of a democracy, punishing states that don't align with Trump's brutal regime.

“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”
Monstrously cruel.

I think this is a bit of sexism. Women are seen as either 'youthful' or invisible once they become 'old'. "I can't believe JLo is 50 woah I usually completely ignore 50 year olds" etc.
I am 36 and I look 36. I am the same age as Taylor Swift and Brie Larson and AOC who also look 36.

oh my god I was a fully functioning adult human 20 years ago life comes at you fast
This was like 18-20 years ago. I clocked in to start a 9 hour shift closing a McDonalds and this dude just pulls "I heard you were watching...did you get to blood bending yet?"
So I had to be furious for 9 hours while I cleaned bathrooms and made fries. Core memory honestly.

I again wish to point out that it is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. has unilaterally ended CDC recommendations for many childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.

Also I built the balrog for my bookshelf. I spent too much time talking LoTR and not the books so the video was a mess.

The death toll from the attack on Venezuela is now at 80, per Venezuelan officials. That includes civilians. Every article about the attack, or how the US somehow claims it will run the country, should mention the fact that, you know, people died, including civilians. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.
Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

I met parents that named their baby the same name as a medium famous still living author. I said "oh like the author?"
They had not googled it. This name is so unique I would dox this baby.
The name is fine...who doesn't google the name? You're not aware of the author with the identical name?
