I'm sure that with the 8th failed audit in 8 years, the Pentagon gets the same fiscal scrutiny...Bueller? Bueller?
What about the bag of money being passed around for the "AI boom"?
By the standards of the AI industry, the USPS is a rounding error.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Let's be honest, if that professors wasn't trans the university would have had her back on this. This isn't something that the average professor has to worry about, it's very explicitly part of a systemic attempt to eradicate trans people by making it impossible to be trans and employed.
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Lol she literally forgot we exist when she was scrubbing that story from affiliates... Didn't bother saying one word to Global News and then when the story runs she's all "WTF is a Canadian?" and "They sound treasonous"... It's the funniest shit. Sheer ignorance and incompetence of the highest order

Also, if I had the money to create an emergency fund, most things wouldn’t be an emergency in the first place.
People talk about "just create an emergency fund!" in all these finance videos, which assumes you aren't literally experiencing emergencies 2-3x per year. If you are having multiple emergencies a year, no matter how hard you plan, you will continue sinking.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Many of those frustrated by the paywall aren't trying to demand unpaid labor or of the belief that journalists shouldn't be paid. They're upset by how capitalism makes it so access only belongs to those who can afford it, and people can increasingly not afford monthly subscriptions.

My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!
