Walmart is removing self-checkouts or making them only available to Walmart+ members. This is after they finally realized that:
Self-checkout terminals potentially account for a staggering fifty percent of all losses incurred by Walmart. More than 6 billion each year.

Who would have guessed that doing the work to demolish a classic building like the Whitehouse might get you some criticism? Several contractors involved in the Whitehouse "renovation" have taken their websites offline.

Similarly it turns out that owner's don't like having to hold a plastic card to a specific spot near the door to unlock their vehicle or having to use their phones instead.
Whatever happened to the testing and research in R&D before releasing a product?

Today from the "No Kidding! News Dept."
Using the big touchscreen controls in modern automobiles is more dangerous, less convenient, and requires taking your eyes of the road for longer periods. No kidding!

I believe that the inability to regulate the modern media landscape has enabled voters to be hoodwinked by politicians (on both parties) with impunity. Voters vote against their own interests, and when people try and point this out to them, the message never makes it into their isolated bubbles.
KFF’s Emma Wager explains that states won by Trump in 2024 have received more ACA enhanced premium tax credits, and had more enrollment growth, since the credits were expanded. https://on.kff.org/3VQ3kjF #QuickTake

I saw someone online that lost their key to their "lockbox" and asking for help opening it. Gave them some pointers but it made me remember #BobDole pitching on how to save #socialsecurity and that of course made me remember this classic SNL parody: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDgR...

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

In these difficult times, it's important to remember the violence and protests at #Stonewall that lead to the freedoms that are now under attack. Pride is not just about showing you're out and proud, but also to remember those that fought to give us the ability to do so! Happy Pride Month everyone!!

Totally forgot that #MacaulayCulkin steals the show in #UncleBuck Wanted to see it again to remember the late, great #JohnCandy but it didn't live up to my fond childhood memories. Next up #PlainsTrains&Automobiles or maybe I'll #CombtheDesert or see if the #Schwartz is with me...

If you were thinking of seeing the new #MissionImpossible movie this weekend, don't bother.
I was excited to see what was billed to be the final installment and retirement of #TomCruise but it seems they have plans to beat this horse until it's beyond dead.
Wish I waited to stream at home instead.

House Republicans don't want you to know they just passed a bill that makes health care MORE expensive and kicks MILLIONS off Medicaid, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations.
We need to make sure America knows.
And we need to kill this bill in the Senate.

Bluesky is plotting a total takeover of the social internet. In an interview with WIRED, CEO @jay.bsky.team says that as Bluesky is built on an open protocol, other apps are starting to fill in spaces traditionally occupied by apps like TikTok or Instagram.

This bill will make you and your family poorer and sicker so that Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their buddies can get richer. Republicans are launching a war on working families, and I’m going to be battling like hell to stop them in their tracks.
BREAKING: House Republicans passed their sweeping reconciliation bill 215-214-1, securing a major win for Speaker Johnson and President Trump.
The package includes $3.8T in tax cuts, reductions to Medicaid and SNAP and a rollback of IRA clean energy credits. Every Democrat voted no.
