To make Planet of the Apes more realistic they should have had the future humans talk with incorrect grammar, to reflect the waning intelligence of humanity.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Crippled capitalism - as sectors become more concentrated, and dominated by fewer, larger companies, the economy loses a huge amount of it's capacity for production. Fewer people are able to utilize their skill, talent and creativity when fewer and fewer individuals are directing those efforts.

"I was not shocked that he helped somebody. My shock is that he was murdered. And no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable. And it's been 7 months! ... there was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice" -- Alex Pretti's parents

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce * 1 cup mustard * 1/2 cup honey * 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar * 1/4 cup brown sugar * 2 tsp.

The application of eminent domain is messed up. They pay market rate even though the owners haven't put them on the market, nor do they have any opportunity to receive multiple offers to select the best one. Governments should be paying a steep premium for the forced sale.

Just ate some pulled pork that'd been cooking all day. Put some bbq rub on a pork shoulder, seared it up, then cooked it for 9hrs. with some chicken stock and fig preserves. Reduced the cooking juices and combined with some bbq sauce before mixing it up with the shredded pork for sandwiches. :9

Just had some leftover curry, S&B curry blocks, potato, orange bell pepper, onion and beef. I velveted the beef for the first time ever and it made such a huge difference.

Not enough attention is paid to the role of advertising in causing inflation. As a company spends a larger proportion of their budget on advertising they are forced to increase prices to maintain profitability.

With the modern internet and the ability to push ads to any connected device we have essentially unlimited advertising space available for sale. This increasing ad spend should show up as higher than expected inflation rates.
