Also as of my last check, 35% of all military families (1-2 actively serving adult servicemembers who are married or domestic partners + any dependents) rely on SNAP benefits, which is up 10% in the last 10 years.

“70% of wage-earning adults who rely on government programs like SNAP and Medicaid work full-time, many at hugely profitable companies like Walmart and McDonald’s whose low wages are effectively subsidized by tax dollars without any of the blame or paternalistic lectures.”
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

This is why the pitchers in Toronto are a class act who empathize with what Vesia’s family must be going through. Also another reason I donated to Sick Kids of Toronto children’s hospital as a Dodger fan, www.sickkidsfoundation.com.

Gonna be thinking for a very long time about the guy in the men’s room at the bar last night who bet $300,000 on the Jays to win, and was brandishing a bottle of Grey Goose during the 10th

Thank you #BlueJays for a fantastic baseball season. What a team. And what heart. The Jays lost by a series of razor thin (& questionable) calls, including the so-called “lodged ball”. But in the end, Yamamoto was an absolute beast of a pitcher.
The Jays still deserve a parade. #WorldSeries2025

I’d have liked that season more if the Jays had won that game, sure. But kind of in the same way that I’d have liked a filet mignon more if it had one more bite. It was still pretty fucking good!

I really hate how the internet has turned all written word news articles into a scavenger hunt because they bury the actual point at least five paragraphs down so you have to scroll through ads. Like Baker & Taylor, book distributor, being killed by private equity. The news site paywalled the name.
