The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

A lovely painting - the woman's body is elegantly curved as she leans into the rope to bring in the load of wood before night falls. It speaks of hardship but also how anything can be beautiful.

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.

'Logan's Rock, St Levan,' (c1916) perfectly demonstrates the height of Laura Knight’s development in Cornwall, this work is part of a series of paintings she composed between 1915 and 1919 all sharing an elevated viewpoint, dramatic diagonal composition and vibrant colour.

They really are going with "you and your neighbor both paid $10,000 for health insurance last year and that mooch got a heart transplant while you got bupkiss! Is that fair?".
I wonder if we're far enough past the uninsured / preexisting condition days that voters will fall for it?

Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

A smart guy at the grocery store said he was going to have to call my parents because my i.d. wasn't scanning. I told him he would have to meet them on the other side as they are dead. My social skills are lacking.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

A new USPS policy enacted by Trump's first Postmaster General could delay mail nationwide. The little-known initiative coupled with the GOP’s ongoing push to restrict mail voting could put millions of the party’s rural voters at risk in future elections.

Quote from Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million to the U.S. military, so you know who we’re dealing with:
“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations”.
