Even if we survive and recover from this descent into fascism, I hope we do NOT regain the outsized power and influence we once had. I have more hope for a just world if USA is not in charge

I think this is probably for the best. America has been colonizing and pillaging the rest of the world for at least a century, and our becoming less central will likely help the world overall

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

my (white, male) coworker spent 46+ hours trying to get AI to make our call schedule for 2026 but it had so many errors it’s unusable. doing by hand took ~8hr. this feels like a parable.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"
