i feel like this evan barker person does not understand the joke obama is making, which rests on being familiar with the cheesecake factory and understanding that it is nice but not opulent.

"The party left me. I used to be a Democrat, but know that Obama has made fun of Trump for making the White House look like a dictator designed an over-the-top chain restaurant I favor starving African children and bringing measles back"

PSA related to a conversation I'm having elsewhere -- Insisting that NB or agender people should look androgynous (ex: Tilda Swinton with a shaved head) is to accept Western ideas of gender as the "default", & is in its own way cultural imperialism & sexist. Miss me with that outdated bullshit.

The state of Illinois has $125M in contracts with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Deloitte is backing a candidate in Ohio who is siding with a pedophile and his defender, punishing a woman for speaking out about sexual abuse. In Illinois, we’re paying them $16M to advise DCFS. cc: @politico.com

Amazing. Democrats get asked whether they think they should apologize and “retract” telling their opponent to “shut up,” when she accuses you of planting protestors in the audience. Yet, Trump and Republicans scream, lie, cuss, make unfounded accusations, and are NEVER asked to apologize.

BASH: There was a protester during your debate with Susan Collins. She responded by saying 'this must be a Troy Jackson supporter' and you told the senator 'shut up.' Do you regret saying that? JACKSON: No. I'm not going to be talked down to by Sen. Collins. I'm not going to apologize for that, no.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

politico.comDo You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

Yam Tits IS on the wrong side of history. Illegally buying 4BN of Diesel from Russia - which only helps Russia, and won't impact US costs at all. Then lied about an agreement that Putin instantly violated. May Ukraine make Russia burn. ✊🏾🔥❤️✌️🏾 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/w...

It's the stealing of the fountain pen that really showed what a lowlife he is all the way down to his DNA. I'd love to see a scan of his brain. It probably looks like the brain of a serial killer.

A quick reminder that all the deranged right-wing conspiracy theories about James Talarico are to distract from the fact that their candidate, Ken Paxton, is too much of a coward to agree to a debate.

They might still be copyright. It will be interesting to see whether AI infringing copyright in the software space is treated any different from ALL of the other spaces in which it is happening.

The window where human judgment still compounds now has a control group: an RCT found AI assistance lifts output while mastery drops - a statistically significant decrease. Whoever keeps the judging keeps the compounding. #futurism #ai https://seldondance.substack.com/p/to-thine-own-self-be-true
