Add a motion sensor that activates a video of the tenent disapproving and closing the blinds.

With the whole industry Infowars thing in jeopardy, if PBS or NPR was to be sold to a private holder, could Global Tetrahedron buy one or both? The Onion is already ending up more respectable than The Washington Post, after all.

It helps that at least they will say openly when they have a sponsorship during a story. That’s especially fun when NPR will say some nasty shit Meta did and preface that with “full disclosure Meta is one of NPRs sponsors”.

They’re generally not sensationalists, though, you’ll never hear them say they eviscerated someone. Lol

Ok fine, maybe now I’ll consider getting a membership. But I still don’t have room for bulk items.

Aww, that takes me back to how my wife and I were when we were long distance over a decade ago (and also international). And while she is tall for Japan, she is noooot tall. Actually we’re about the same heights as the comic, too. Cute.

Fun guessing game with these Clickbait articles. I usually guess The Inner Light but this time it is Darmok.

A bit of a waste of time just skimming that pointless article though.

I think this is/was my issue. I thrived once I got to go to college with mostly afternoon classes. I’m back in a rut because of kids waking me at 7am, though. Noon is where it’s at for getting up!

I don’t think it’s all about the bird flu, some mark ups are definitely greed. Today I was at a target, eggs priced 9 dollars for a dozen low quality eggs. Ralph’s (West Coast Kroger’s) priced them at 9 also. However, a day ago I was also at a Sprouts and a Trader Joe’s, and the going rates were 4 dollars (although TJ was sold out). Hell, Sprout’s much tastier Pasture raised eggs were like, 8 bucks, although those birds are likely the least likely to get infected.

The thing that killed me is at Target in saw a very ill informed woman buying two 18 packs of crap white eggs for what I can only imagine cost her a second mortgage. Please shop responsibly, y’all.

I did shit like this on my quizzes in high school and all I got was a C average age constant referrals to the school therapist.

Honestly, if folks haven’t listened to that interview of AOC by Jon Stewart, she really lays out the problem with the DNC pretty clearly (and really, they problem with the two party winner take all house, too). I recommend giving it a listen.

So the thing is this is mostly a matter of which texts your school purchases. Since the leader in purchasing (at least when I checked a few years back) was Texas’ board, publishers tend to prioritize what they require. There are usually alternatives and teachers have (or had?) some autonomy on this, but many are pretty neutral because why would you go out of your way to research these things?

Anyway, currently we also have an abundance of book banning and the politicalizarion of the PTA so it’s probably even worse right now. Also, Trail of Tears is like the token indigenous atrocity story, kind of like how a text will have 3 paragraphs on MLK to cover all of the civil rights movement.

Of course, a memes a meme! At least college usually covers the truth as best it can, hence why folks like DeSantis are targeting universities mostly, not K-12. But as you say… for now.

I wouldn’t say we’re not censoring the indigenous genocide. Having worked in education as a researcher, I’d say most K-12 programs actively avoid the topic (in large part because textbooks tend to get approved first by Texas, then others follow–long story as to why. But suffice to say they don’t exactly like the dirty truth in Texas).

I guess that’s not censorship so much as indoctrinating the youth? Is that really better?

My thoughts after hearing the briefing. Yikes.

Ok, I’m sure it’s because of incompetence but I do have to say it’s weird AF that there was also a contingent of Russian civilians on the plane and that this involved a military helicopter. Granted, they were figure skaters, but my brain was like “Man, Putin must really hate those figure skaters” when I heard about this over the radio.

But again, it’s likely incompetence— even if you have to be at just the right altitude at just the wrong time to cause a mid air crash.

You might can point the finger sooner, just not for the reason OP hints at. The helicopter was military, and there a closer link to Trump and his administration given that. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions, but he is already blaming DEI, because of course he is.

I specially went Obama over Clinton because she was still saying in 2008 how video games promote violence. There’s a certain type of Dem, and they’re still ramming them down our throats.

77 year old who has been in the house since the 90s. Actually a prime example of why we need term limits and real competition in elections (if not from GOP, at least in primaries). Irony is she reps a district that isn’t really associated with streaming or producing movies.

My guess? She won her primary because she was the incombent or was unopposed, but she probably receives cash from the film industry. Almost all house seats are uncompetitive unless someone drops out or gets redistricted. Until something changes, this is and will be the way our government continues to work.

Iirc, Steam policy is to allow no-strings-attached refunds if that happens, and it indeed has happened before. I don’t see Sony reneging, just doing as stated which is to provide incentives to log in.

I have the base game and didn’t know that, thank you random Internet person! $10 is indeed a good deal.
