I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

TerraEsperanza in Guatemala City shows what’s possible with the flexibility of single-stair design — a vibrant, 10-story mixed-use building on a small lot.
Designed by Mexico City's Legorreta + Legorreta, the project floats above the grade plane and provides a variety of unit sizes.

Reminder to pro-business Americans: Canada has something like twice as many self-employed people and small businesses per capita as you because even self-employed Canadians can get unemployment insurance and healthcare. It's great for our local economies.
sort of funny how people don't get how utterly ruthless the campaign was focused on the everyday affordability angle, even from people aligned with Mamdani!

The nation’s largest police fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks is set to begin patrolling the streets of Las Vegas in November thanks to a donation from a U.S. tech billionaire, raising concerns about the blurring of lines between public and private interests.

In the latest demonstration of this administration’s hostility toward the poor: The Trump Administration has not only dragged its feet in dispensing SNAP contingency funds, but they’re literally obstructing private actors from helping to promote food security when the government will not.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

You know what we donate to the local food pantries? We donate MONEY. Because they can turn that money into what those they serve need the most. I do not know what those folks need better than the food pantry does. So I give them my dollars and they turn them into something useful.
Sweet Jesus, do not donate seeds to your food bank in October. Honestly, don’t donate seeds to your food bank unless you are specifically asked to, and even then I would think REALLY HARD about whether that’s regionally appropriate.
When I needed food donations, I was in student housing.
