Out on the road today
I saw a keffiyeh wrap on a Cybertruck
Wait I thought foreign countries paid the tariffs, not American consumers.

This is amazing. All the companies that abandoned Russia when the war started are going to lose their trademarks. So dumb ripoff companies will soon be operating there as Victoria's Secret or McDonald's or whatever. They can use the name, the logo, everything.

Russian Trademark Poachers Are Targeting Brands Like Armani and Amazon
More than 300 foreign companies have found their trademarks under legal threat in Russia since the start of 2024.

One of the great tragedies of 2025 is how many scammers have bought their way out of consequences for pennies on the dollar.

Kurt Vonnegut's passage about Armistice Day in "Breakfast of Champions" always hit hard.

He wrote this to make sure everyone knew what we lost when we changed the name of the holiday to Veterans' Day.

Google it kids
It’s like he wants to go out as Ceaușescu.
Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry.
It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going!

It's uncanny how in every report about a Bay Area driver assaulting someone, the driver has the same kind of car.

Safeway tried this a decade ago and it suuuucked
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Every time I make a really dumb mistake because I didn't think it through, I remember that the former mayor of NYC held a major, high-profile press conference about American democracy in a parking lot behind a lawn mowing company in Philly.

"I meant to do that" will get you far in life.
Happy FSTL day to all who celebrate

He seems a mild-mannered office clerk at Border Patrol's Midland office.

But he's also a millenarian cultist browsing for women of prime breeding age in the database of drivers' licenses newly authorized by OBBBA.

THE TEXES STATES, watch out for this guy. He's worse than overpriced car insurance.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post?

GM wants to sell you a $10/mo data plan to do the stuff you're already paying to do on your phone.

I'm never selling my analog-ass 2010s Subaru.

If there were a competent opposition party in this country, the only message we’d get is that a starving, desperate country where your only hope of safety is blind allegiance to a violent, capricious autocrat and prosperity exists for only his inner circle is what GOP governance looks like
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
