Well, finally cancelled my Nitro.
I refuse to have pop-up advertisements ("Quests") in my instant message service, let alone one I'm paying for.
Discord, you've really dropped the ball by making Quests so obtrusive and giving us no way to opt out.

The Hunger Games trilogy was integral to my own political education and is why now I so often stress how your fellow citizen isn't your enemy, the government is. People love to forget that, but those books really cemented in my mind that class solidarity is crucial to any social justice movement.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Her parents help her with childcare, a very normal thing that grandparents do. Do you know which parent usually stops working if you can’t afford child care and need one to stay home? Mothers. This one simple trick works great at keeping moms out of positions of power and they’re mad it didn’t work

Katie Wilson is a millennial who has dealt with the same economic failures as many other millennials have

I get why Minecraft does their bug reports the way they do, but as a result they have set up a major computer skill barrier to participating in the bug reporting process.
The average player can recognize when their game is broken, that doesn't mean they can navigate a database.

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

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.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

this. I have spent years researching a place to go, but there's nowhere that both has a healthcare system that can meet my needs and will let me immigrate with my health issues. There's a couple places with exceptions if I were independently wealthy, but if I were, I could just afford my healthcare!
Please understand that Americans who have a serious chronic illness essentially have no where to run to.
(The immigration rules of countries with the kind of health care system it takes to keep me alive deny me admission because I'm seriously chronically ill, and, therefore, a 'drain on resources')

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
