The average amount of SNAP received is about $173. Which means you could fund nearly a million families for a month if we just didn't buy her two private jets to fly around and do racist pressers. Which by the way, seems excessive.
Do I understand this correctly? We're shelling out $172 million for two private jets for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other federal officials while no funds are available for SNAP (food stamp) recipients in November. Does that about cover it?
$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

mindreading is such a fun underutilized thing for erotic horror because sometimes your thoughts are truly not things you want or even consciously chose to think about and that has a lot of potential.

IRC started in 1988 when Jarkko Oikarinen created a real-time chat protocol. 🌐 It soon grew into networks like EFnet (1990) and Undernet (1992), shaping online communities long before social media.

![1.1 Servers
The server forms the backbone of IRC, providing a point to which clients may connect to to talk to each other, and a point for other servers to connect to, forming an IRC network. The only network configuration allowed for IRC servers is that of a spanning tree [see Fig. 1] where each server acts as a central node for the rest of the net it sees.
Below this is the diagram for Fig. 1. Format of IRC server network](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:73dpznbu4wqwtcyurwbiulov/bafkreiedbc6rsk7hpkryvlhv77bytrfc4jeacd4fqwxzqfdkav3kaprtxe@jpeg)

If writing feels futile right now, remember why people need stories. Remember you've got Tolkien and Le Guin in your corner. Remember that people still tell stories during the dark times. That's actually when they need them most.

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.
