It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

I'm behind on Friends & Neighbors and was pleasantly surprised to see a Hole album be a plot point in its first season.

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.

Workers I spoke to are pissed.

The acting was outstanding in this series.

But are they going to train the character with seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, four movies, and three seasons of "Picard" as well?

Iran warns of 'forceful' response to military ships after Trump vows to block Strait of Hormuz | CBC

Not to ruin your Sunday but Trump’s fake ceasefire is dead and Iran is threatening to blow up two American mine sweepers because in Trumps head, the Iranians wanted him to sweep the mines so he sent them into danger.

This is a developing story

The use of “hallucinate” is a stroke of true evil genius in the AI world.

In ANY other context we’d just call them errors & the fail rate would be crystal clear.

Instead, “hallucinate” implies genuine sentience & the *absence* of real error.

Aw, this software isn’t shit! Boo’s just dreaming!

Good article about human toad Stephen Miller. He's what Grammy Hall might call a "real putz."

“Miller liked to carry around a sword. An actual, metal sword….Amy Terwilleger recalled him walking around in a “weird, brown bathrobe” and drinking scotch.”

Left is NYT with 20 days in a row with 2+ above-the-fold stories about how we got crushed and it was all Biden's fault (withdrawal was necessary & messy)

Right is NYT with its cute both-sides story about Trump claiming victory (despite getting crushed by Iran)

13 American soldiers are dead because their Commander in Chief wanted to distract you from the Epstein Files.

THE TRUMP REGIME HAS ALREADY COMMITTED WAR CRIMES. A CEASFIRE WON'T ERASE THAT.

A ceasefire won’t erase the #WarCrimes already committed by the Trump regime during this illegal war.

And Trump has flip flopped before.
