how dare people want to keep access to tv and movies since everything is streaming contingent now
opening paragraphs of the article: “Sabrina DaSilva spends about $60 a month at coffee shops even though she has a coffee machine at home and can get her caffeine fix for free at work, she said. ‘Sometimes you need that little pick-me-up,’ said DaSilva, 23, who works in finance. She estimates she spends $500 to $600 a month going out to dinner and another $500 a month on traveling. She tries not to feel guilty about how much she spends. But her habits are in line with others of her generation. About 87 percent of Gen Z — people between the ages of 18 to 28 —say they are willing to spend money on nonessential items like streaming services, dining out and fitness memberships, no matter the state of their finances, according to a new poll. The Harris Poll questioned 2,074 U.S. adults for Intuit Credit Karma, a personal finance platform. The poll found that 74 percent of Gen Z-aged people said they were willing to cut back on non-essential spending if their financial situation worsened. That compares with 82 percent of millennials, 86 percent of Gen X and 87 percent of baby boomers.”

Stephens: My concern is that a blowout victory for Zohran Mamdani in NYC’s mayoral race and tight governors’ races, or even a loss, for Abigail Spanberger in Virginia or Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey will send a misleading signal that voters want more progressive Democrats, not more moderate ones.
NYT column titled “There are so many ways to shut down a country” with a thumbnail image of a balding man steaming a large American flag Frank Bruni: Greetings, Bret. I’m especially eager to hear your thoughts this week because this is our last conversation before Tuesday’s elections, the results of which will be read like rune stones. We’ll see in them the fortunes of President Trump and of the Democratic Party in — and beyond — the 2026 midterms. What do you think these contests will (or won’t) reliably tell us? And while we can’t know who’ll win, which of the races do you find especially significant? Bret Stephens: Hi, Frank. My concern is that a blowout victory for Zohran Mamdani in New York’s mayoral race and tight governors’ races, or even a loss, for Abigail Spanberger in Virginia or Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey will send a misleading signal that voters want more progressive Democrats, not more moderate ones. And I think that’s the worst possible lesson if Democrats want to take back Congress and win nationally.

I thought she was in on it but no, he actually sprung a robbery on her and tried to force her to be the getaway driver. this is less fun with all the details ☹️
the Complex instagram account caption reads: “Literal partner in crime 💰 Back in 2020, a woman’s first days went completely off the rails when her date decided to rob a bank mid-date — and made her the getaway driver. Christopher Castillo, 33, asked her to stop near a Massachusetts bank, then ran out with a gun and a bag of cash. She panicked and tried to drive off but was arrested before being cleared of any involvement. Castillo wasn’t so lucky— he ended up in prison for armed robbery.”

I feel like I’m in a reality tv fever dream because how is this real
an orange background header on the USDA homepage that reads: “Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.”

so this is near one of the main drags near campus.

mind you, FSU did not have a pro-Palestine encampment (though there were some demonstrations that were harassed by Zionists). in my 9 years here, FSU HAS had: Klan posters placed near a Jewish space but they ALSO targeted Black students.

I am still sitting with this man saying this absolutely unhinged fascist shit in the same week that two ex-Marines committed mass shootings.

and they weren’t veterans of recent deployments. we live in hell.
a post from Threads quoting from Pete Hegseth’s speech on C-SPAN: This is actually insane. Hegseth he tells military leaders he is ending many “rules of engagement” to focus on “maximum lethality”: “You kill people and break things for a living. You are not politically correct, and you don’t always belong in polite society.”

anyone writing character witness letters for Sean Combs should be excommunicated from society but this right here? I’m glad I never used these products. I hope the company tanks.
a letter supporting rapist and sex trafficker Sean Combs, written by the founder of Mixed Chicks hair products. she states “in 2003, as a single mother, I decided to make a bold choice and start my own business. As a bi-racial woman with ‘unruly’ curls, the hair industry failed to represent my ‘combination’ textured hair forcing me to shop in separate aisles, mixing and matching products neighbors to get the right blend to style. In the early days my business partner and I started right out of her garage with a web-based business selling to local mom and pop shops and online customers. Our big break came when Halle Berry publicly endorsed our product in 2009 (an endorsement a small brand could never afford) but before that, I had the pleasure of supplying Mr. Combs with our products for a video shoot.”

their statement is not incorrect here but Mali is also currently under investigation for war crimes against civilians ☹️
Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, three nations in West Africa run by military governments after coups in recent years, have announced their exit from the International Criminal Court (ICC), referring to it as “neocolonial repression” and accusing the judicial body of selective justice. In a joint statement on Monday night, the three countries said the ICC had become incapable of prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression and genocide without elaborating.

suddenly, a bit this band band has been doing for decades now is inappropriate for “normalizing violence against a real person” — uh huh.

bluntmag.com.au/music/gwar-f...
headline and images of GWAR performance Fans of the group have rallied online, pointing out that beheading notorious political figures has been part of GWAR’s live show for years. Historically, the band has brought out dummies of former U.S. President Joe Biden and current President Donald Trump on stage to behead them. Much like the name of their 1999 album, We Kill Everything, they do just that, even on stage. The controversy is more surprising given that GWAR has beheaded Elon Musk multiple times on stage already. The dummy has been making its appearance on stage for the skit as early as May this year during their 40th anniversary tour. However, with the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, critics have been saying the act normalises violence.

fired over a conference presentation
A Texas State University professor was fired on Wednesday after he was accused of inciting violence in a video of him speaking at a socialism conference posted on social media. In a video circulated on social media platform X, Thomas Alter, an associate history professor, can be seen talking during a Zoom meeting as part of the Revolutionary Socialism Conference, an online meeting organized by several socialist groups. During his talk, Alter explains how he feels socialists in the United States can organize an effective party, and criticizes the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists of America, China and anarchists for their methods of organization. The video circulated on X cuts one portion of Alter’s speech in half, during which he criticized “insurrectional anarchists” for their method of protesting, urging organization into a party to better reach people. In the full speech posted on YouTube, he notes that some anarchists have faced jail time for their methods of protest, praising their efforts but questioning whether they can achieve their goals.

the way this statement shouldn’t be controversial whatsoever…
Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC after his comments about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to a network source. During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”
