He can spend 2 million of our tac dollars on crabcakes but I can't use my SNAP benefits on an Aldi lobster.

After a year of pressure, activists call off Target boycott Boycott leaders say they're ending their yearlong campaign against Target over scaled-back diversity initiatives.

I was their "target" demographic. Then they started stealing from Esty designers, mostly women. Shrank their Pride merch to appease fundamentalists. Partnered with Starbucks, killer of unions.

I don't know who these activists are, but my boycott is for LIFE.

Wait, who is not doing this?

Pixar chief says LGBTQ+ plot elements cut from Elio as company is ‘not making therapy’ Pete Docter says Pixar will concentrate on more commercially appealing films after staff dissent over deleted scenes that implied lead character was gay

Forever disappointed in Pete Docter. The point of art is not to make everyone happy. The point of capitalism is to make executives' bank accounts happy.

Pixar in its coward era.

Master Chief Actor Calls Out "Juvenile" Use Of Halo In White House Propaganda And Demands They Stop Using His Voice Steve Downes has strongly condemned The White House's use of Master Chief to promote the war in Iran.

War fanboy's favorite gaming icon Master Chief tells the WH to take his fucking name out of their mouths and I am geeking out over this.

And not have an extra hour to wait for iftar in the middle of Ramadan. *grumblemutterbitchwhinebloviate*

Honestly? Same.

U.S. Passport Rule Could Leave Millions Of American Travelers Denied Entry To Their Own Country Millions of American dual citizens could get stranded abroad and denied entry if they don't have a U.S. passport in hand to come home.

The system is working as designed.

If I learn about one more AI/surveillance company stealing Tolkien's material for their name, I'm gonna lose it.

Tell me you didnt get the point of the stories when you called your technofascist company Palantir or Anduril.

Super tired of films and tv series that supposedly take place in Missouri, esp St Louis, being filmed entirely in Georgia.

Beirut is under attack, too, and its all quiet here on the western front. Never forget Israel's long game- the full takeover of the Levant. #prayforlebanon #justiceforgaza #nowar #iran

I honestly don't know how to shop for clothing in this era. Its not just my size or shape that's an obstacle. Why is everything from some random Chinese "company" with a name made of random english letters the only place the avg person can shop beyond Target or Walmart?

Future archaeologists are going to find stuff like plumbobs and have no idea what the heck we did with it.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

As much as I sympathize with your energy, I believe this argument is simplistic at best and at worst reduces two thirds of humanity to entirely ignorant which sadly is untrue. That is not the reason religions exist.

Is everything that simple to you?

Do you actually know the purpose behind fasting in Ramadan? Or how it works?

To post this during Ramadan is wild.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

"Suspected political message" = in Spanish so the mouth noises scared me

Or yanking it with tweezers in the bathroom mirror like my Dad in 1999. It has come full circle, my friend.

Old Glory is the best known symbol of the American Revolution. A political symbol. A middle finger to the English. That's how we've always treated it. But its okay if WE do it.

Can't have former slaves waving their rebel leader in the French's face, can we? How gauche. /s

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Here's me celebrating another revision of a revision. 150 words added.

I don't mean to seem alarmed, but it appears Google's book search function is, just...gone.

In a sane country it would be a huge deal, front page news, that a privately owned utility that millions researches, from journalists to scholars, rely on every day to advance knowledge can just disappear.
