My Apple Pencil has inexplicably died. It’s connecting to the Bluetooth, is 100% charged, and the tip is screwed on. I need it to finish designing the oracle deck asap. I guess I’m ordering a new one, but I can’t swing the cost rn. 😖

Can I get some eyes on my shop?

BREAKING: Today's emails contradict Ghislaine Maxwell's interview with Todd Blanche.

She said she never saw Trump at Epstein's house.

In a newly released 2011 email Epstein tells Maxwell that Trump spent time with a victim at Epstein's house.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

States should continue to provide benefits and tell Trump to sue them, for a change.
This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Has anyone else noticed that their phone's keyboards are getting... stupider?

My phone actually AVOIDS capitalizing "i" and sometimes I'll need to edit an entire paragraph after the fact because I'll manually type in a difficult word and it'll change it.

My going theory is that this is modern AI.

I’m a SNAP recipient and I’m asking you if you live in any of the following states to call your representative and tell them to

HOLD THE DAMN LINE

We aren’t going through all of this for them to fold.

These are the at risk ones. If one of them is yours, call!

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

(Published 2019)
Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.
