A lot of the local options around where I lived in Atlanta gave discounts to folks using ebt. That doesn’t help those in the middle - to broke to pay full price, not eligible for aid - but it doesn’t hurt to ask about options
If you need ideas for where to shop instead of Target, I have an open offer to help anyone who asks. Ask in the replies and I’ll give you my best suggestions!
Here are a few of my best recs, with an emphasis on how you can get curbside or delivery, if that’s part of the appeal of Target for you.
Almost half the shows are copaganda FYI. Tracker technically isn't, "he's a lone wolf survivalist" but it's adjacent IMHO. If you remove the news shows it's fully half.
Hiiiii, feel free to keep deaf people out of this! So sick of the condescension disguised as faux concern about how disabled people "need" AI. We don't. Autocaptions are almost always very bad, and then people like you use their existence to justify taking away actual accommodations that work.
How much of this is copaganda?
I know NCIS is, and I’m guessing the sheriff one and FBI also are.
What about marshals and tracker?
That stuff will rot your brain in so many ways.
Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt
That’s one of the major differences I noticed when I moved to Portugal a couple of years ago.
Every once in a while I’ll see an American sized car and just wonder wtf is wrong with that person. So needlessly, clownish oversized, especially for these streets!
I really hope the Grammerly reaction makes people think twice about “genie out of the bottle” AI-as-inevitable framings. We don’t actually have to just accept worse or unethical products and pretend that makes us fans of Progress!
Those who build walls are their own prisoners.
Folks, the use of AI to write reviews is a clear violation of peer review ethics + it endangers the authors' intellectual property rights. Don't do it.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

All the people who voted for and supported this:
May their wells run dry
May their children and grandchildren reject them
May their crops dry in the fields
May their vehicles rust
May they become impotent and barren
May the fleas from a thousand camels infest their groins
May they never know peace
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.
Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
And I will be joining the class
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
For those of you who think this will not hit the US or Canada, please recall who North America's largest trading partners are (left: US, right: Canada)

Reposting this again for those in later time zones.
Also, academic friends, this feels like an excellent time to push your administrators to drop their contracts with Grammarly.

This week on the Coaching Librarian newsletter, I wrote about dealing with conflict in your library.
It's kind of a stereotype that librarians treat conflict as a bad word and try to avoid it, but what if you could turn it into something constructive?

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.
Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

They’re extremely committed to the “make every aspect of US industry and life grind to a fucking halt” bit
What Israel/US is doing to Iran is horrifying but it doesn’t compare to what Israel, with full US support, is doing to Lebanon and Palestine. Not even close x.com/mamoun_linda...
can't think of a more self-destructive action taken by a US president and this, mind you, is after biden's stalwart support of israel and bush's iraq war
@CNN Pizza shop workers took down an armed robber -- but when police took off his mask, they discovered he was their old boss.
and he would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids
This is why you use fake information.
Your real information can be gleaned.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
Ryan from The OC going hard on how crypto is a scam is the wildest silver lining in this timeline
