it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I hate the TikTok ads that are like “someone is getting fired for this sale!” Why would that be more appealing to me?!

I usually take a CVS generic probiotic gummy bc seems good to do. Yesterday they were out and due to CVS math the name brand made sense. I’m going to gentrify my gut biome and then watch the Olly brand bacteria turn into NIMBYs when I reintroduce the generic bacteria to the neighborhood

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

The Washington Post with a story about how remaking an institution to appeal to the pro-Trump right doesn't help the bottom line.
EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic.

Nearly nine months into Trump’s oversight, sales for the three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Look closely and you’ll spot stars starting to twinkle in the upper left as the night begins ✨🔭🧪

once again, i think electoral college maps shape people's sense of political reality in incredibly destructive ways
It gets crazier. Source in Maryland Gov Wes Moore's admin tells me they informed Trump officials that the ailing counties were in Appalachia, and the Trump people were surprised to hear this!
