  • How appropriate for kids?

  • Brazil leader Lula says the world doesn't want an 'emperor' after US threatens BRICS tariff
  • The US doesn't want an emperor either, but we're getting one

  • U.S. physician groups sue Kennedy over vaccine policy
  • That's kind of the point. Trump getting elected not once but twice shows how broken the country is.

  • Texas flash floods kill more than 100 people as more victims expected
  • They're busy blaming it on gays from California

  • Like it never happened
  • I listened to Larry David explaining the origin of this joke while on Conan's podcast. Apparently, when Larry worked at Saturday Night Live, he was struggling to get a skit onto the show and lost his cool. He went and yelled at the boss, telling him he was quitting. Afterwards, he realized that he needed the money, so he came back the next day like nothing happened.

  • FYI, this is old news. Layoffs have happened

  • Donald Trump's approval rating collapses with Gen Z
  • I was just at lunch, the table next door had a bunch of Trump gear on, even the teenagers. I overheard bits of conversation and it was totally normal stuff, which makes me wonder what attracts people to such a gross person

  • Microsoft axe another 9000 in continued AI push
  • With all the deportations of illegal immigrants there will be tons of open jobs (that pay next to nothing).

  • Ban on Palestine Action to take effect after legal challenge fails
  • So many people are afraid to say it, but it's Jewish money that's bought them off. You used to be called antisemitic if you talked about Jewish people running everything like it was a conspiracy theory, but the past few years have proven they run things or can buy those who do.

    > > The reason is simple: an increase in immigration enforcement, including high-profile ICE raids, shook Texas farm workers to their core. The news filtered fast that workers—regardless of legal status—chose safety over a salary. > > > > Farmers, who had been working with their crews for decades, described the loss as “devastating” and “unprecedented.” This is alarming as most farms are founded upon immigrant labor, both legal and illegal, creating a domino effect for the food system as a whole. > > > > . . . When farm workers vanish, the effects are felt far beyond the fields. Livestock is untended, crops go unpicked, food production declines, and food prices dramatically increase. In Texas alone, where specialty vegetables and fruits must be hand-picked, worker shortages jeopardize entire harvest seasons. > > > > This results in fewer foods on grocery store shelves, higher prices for families nationwide, and a greater reliance on imports. Threads on Reddit and YouTube are already predicting price hikes and empty produce shelves.

It did not specifically include victims who have been voluntarily intoxicated, making their cases nearly impossible to prosecute. > > > > > > > > > > > Exhausted, [Willis] looked across the street and realized she was standing directly across from the site where she said she was raped 10 years ago at a University of Texas at Austin fraternity party. Prosecutors say what happened to her would likely not legally have been considered sexual assault because of a state loophole: she accepted the drink she was handed at that party – which she believes was laced – before she was raped by another person. > > > > > > > > > > > Johnson said she and her colleagues with the state’s Sexual Assault Survivors’ Task Force have been workshopping legislation to close the intoxication loophole for at least the last six years, but each time it’s been derailed, previously passing in the House but not the Senate. > > > > > > > > On that February day after the race, Willis “was just physically devastated,” Johnson said. Ravenous, Willis snacked as the lawmakers talked to her about the legislation they had in the works and pitched her an idea. > > > > > > > > “Would you be willing to let us name this the Summer Willis Act? Would you be willing to come back and testify to get it passed?” Johnson asked. > > > > > > > > > > > Texas Rep. Donna Howard authored the bill, which passed unanimously that night. > > > > > > > > > > > Despite her victory in Texas, she’s disheartened by what happened with the bill in New York. No one ran. No one bled. But advocates there shared their experiences, just as she had. Is it enough for assault survivors to simply tell their stories and ask for help? > > > >
