IIRC Walmart also gets a tax credit for employing SNAP recipients. AND since they're one of the biggest grocery stores in the country they get a lot of money directly from SNAP when SNAP recipients grocery shop there. So, they benefit from SNAP coming and going.

I am sure it is hard on parents. But you have no idea what it means to many of us to see your babies and a pumpkin.

I don’t think One Battle After Another can be over-hyped. You’re going to hear alot of what sounds like awards season hyperbole about it, but it’s not - the movie is undeniable, it really is that good. And it’s a big funny entertaining action movie, but also much more. I can’t wait to see it again.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

A gentle reminder that new year resolutions don’t have to be about positive changes. You can commit to be more petty, seek revenge, and disrespect your enemies.

It’s interesting, actually. Since the republican party got maga-fied their tent has actually grown. Not as big as the dems, but there’s way more infighting than I’ve previously seen in what was once a single-message, unified front.

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) 💙📚

people who have never experienced open racism — or open bigotry of any sort — do not appreciate the way it can be psychologically destabilizing. and on the main, it actually isn’t healthy to be so resilient and thick-skinned that you don’t react to slurs and dehumanization
