This not crazy??????? "you can do this or you can log out or delete"?? Baby don't play with me.
god: literally just be kind
us: god works in mysterious ways its hard to know his plans or wishes for us
What he means by "not accomplishing anything" is, "There are still black people and women are still allowed to vote."
It must be the great leadership
Q: How much longer will American continue to see these high gas prices?
TRUMP: Well, they're not very high
Q: $4 a gallon still
TRUMP: That's what ABC says, but the stock market is up. Everything is doing really well.
A modest tax on second homes is the scariest thing this rich lady has ever seen.
As Mother Jones originally reported, Taylor Cadle was 12 years old in 2016 when she told a sheriff’s deputy that she had been sexually abused by her adoptive father, Henry Cadle.
Instead of arresting the abuser, Deputy Melissa Turnage charged Taylor with filing a false police report.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office criminalized a 12-year-old rape survivor for “lying” and left her abuser free to assault her again.
Ten years later, a federal judge has ruled she can sue over it.
Donald Trump LIED. Again. He LIED. He LIED. Trump LIED again. He always LIES. He LIES every time he opens his mouth. He LIED about the Pope. He LIES all the time. He. Only. Knows. How. To. LIE. And we all need to say that. We all need to use that word - he LIES.
This made me remember times I was street performing and had a sign saying Cherokee magician on it and people were walking by telling me to go back to my own country, this was America
Yes, your grocery prices are up—by about $310 since 2024.
Trump’s war with Iran is raising costs, AND food prices are still out of control.
But Trump has done nothing to stop them.
That’s why I’m calling on his admin to crack down on price fixing now.
It should be mandatory for every Republican in Congress & the admin to write out one week of groceries for a family of 4 - everything they need - then drive to a grocery store and put each item in a cart, then pay for those items with their own money, then get a full tank of gas.
Then get back to us about how great everything is.
as far as i can tell pope leo has never mentioned trump by name hes just like “killing people is wrong” or “concentration camps arent good” and theyre all taking it personally
I’m old enough to remember when NPR did their annual recitation of the Declaration of Independence in 2017 and a bunch of Trump voters called it anti-Trump propaganda because we live in hell
we don't know why bluesky is like this right now either, sorry
👋🏼 Good riddance.

The drought has progressed to stage 1 water restrictions and no offense but I hope everyone complaining about not being able to sprinkler their golf course style grass lawns loses their grass.
Also
I hope the golf courses themselves shut down
Talk about a waste of water
Trump and the Pope are in irreconcilable conflict for the simple fact that the Pope speaks of Christian virtues and Trump’s entire mode of existing in this world stands in stark opposition to Christian virtues.
But the Pope won’t be perturbed. His message is bigger than Trump, the USA, or politics.
Despicable fucking government.
he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS?
I have a bill to get that done.
Just a reminder that the IRS developed free software that was going to be available in every state this year that a majority of taxpayers could use to file taxes alongside their state returns and the regime axed it.
You already paid to develop it and they just buried it to profit corporate America.
I need a favor for a story: I want to know about software you built, just for you. Not to sell, not to raise capital for, just for you and you alone. Vibe coding, hand-coding, whatever works. If you've done this, email me (david at the verge dot com) or DM me — I want to hear all the stories!
"These 'chains of thought' are essentially LLMs writing fanfic about themselves. Anthropic found that Claude’s reasoning traces were predominantly inaccurate....imagine a gang of children shouting out make-believe computer phrases while watching the washing machine run." aphyr.com/posts/411-th...
Cannot make this shit up.
This guy is planning to do a Kickstarter to fund his "game", so he can afford Claude and ChatGPT subs to vibecode it.
Lmfao this cannot be real.
