RIP to pressed penny machines, aka the best souvenir.
Almost 10 years to the day after we begged to get rid of it, the final penny has been pressed by the U.S. mint. Farewell, penny! We're sure Americans will find something else to put in our pockets and up our asses soon enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tys...

This is also why the weak members are willing to cave on the ACA.
not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.

-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

Sorry, but “history” proves mass nonviolent community protests NEVER work. The ONLY thing that can bring people together is reading my miserable posts. Smiling people hugging in the sunshine accomplishes NOTHING. Reading my punishing content, indoors and alone, is the only path forward.

Does seem like there’s a non-zero chance that the shutdown never really ends and that Congress has already abolished itself.
I find it amazing too that Republicans’ boycott of Washington isn’t the biggest story of them all.

The shutdown can’t end if they refuse to show up for work.

"Mr. President do you see this as accomplishing your promise of bringing dignity back to the White House you're also currently demolishing?"
"Yes Mr. President, Tyler from The Internet News. I wanted to follow up on your video: is it your diarrhea, or the liquid poop of other mammals, that you are dumping onto American citizens? Follow up question, does the feces represent your estimation of those citizens, or your future policy plans?"

Yeah, and the stripper really thinks you're attractive and interesting up until the point your wallet is empty.

Giant blue sculptures of Colorado animals at the side of every road into Colorado. Must be blue.
Red glowing eyes optional.

Mountain lions and bobcats and moose, oh, my.
Mule deer and kestrels and wolves, OH MY.
Minimum 25 feet tall.
Each one has a collectable token.
lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

“‘My building is shaking. So, I'm like, “What is that?” Then I look out the window, it's a Blackhawk helicopter,’ said witness Dr. Alii Muhammad.”

Raiding a Chicago apartment building from above as if they were on a mission to capture Osama bin Laden. Absolutely demented.
“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.

He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."
