I’m enjoying my Legion Go S. At first I thought an 8‑inch screen would feel oversized compared to the usual 7‑inch, but now I wouldn’t want anything smaller. The 7‑inch size feels like where these devices began, similar to the early iPhones, but I can see larger screens quickly becoming the standard

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.
my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center
we're really not prepared for what's coming
we're really not prepared for what's coming
As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Anyone else get super angry when they have a perfectly good jacket, and the zipper breaks? Because the repair is just as much as a new jacket, but it's always the damned zipper.

Given that for my entire life the most insane far-right viewpoints in this country at any given time have become the GOP mainstream position within five years, the fact that the Edges or Fringes of the right are now open blood-and-soil Nazis bodes ill for the future.
