  • Anon introduces himself

  • I've had great jobs, introducing yourself at meetings that include people you don't know is just part of it

  • Anon introduces himself

    Jump

  • I have done this innumerable times at multiple jobs. Maybe it happens a lot more than you think

  • Device hurled near NYC mayor’s mansion was an IED that could have caused ‘serious injury or death,’ NYPD says | CNN

    Jump

  • Are we reading the same article? It says it was a counterprotester who threw this into the right-wing group

  • Mojtaba Khamenei, son of ayatollah killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes, named Iran's new supreme leader, state media reports

    Jump

  • Not necessarily, Iran wasn't taking the threat from Israel and the US seriously when Khamenei the elder was assassinated, but they certainly are now. I think it depends on how much intel Israel is still getting from inside Iran

  • I blame Obama

    Jump

  • This is literally George W. Bush's fault, he's the one who pushed the DST changes several weeks earlier in the spring and later in the fall in 2005. This and Hurricane Katrina happened at the same time.

  • Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes

    Jump

  • The bill requires that a voter's name match their birth certificate, and many women (and some men) changed their names when they got married.

  • Hegseth declares, 'I only speak American' to room full of foreign leaders

    Jump

  • Hegseth's father was a basketball coach for high schools across Minnesota before retiring in 2019; his mother is an executive business coach who has taught with the Minnesota Excellence in Public Service (MEPS) Series, a fellowship and leadership program for Republican and center-right women.

    She'd probably say "You've always been a disappointment to this family. You should've gone to war with Iran last year."

  • Don't be a loser

    Jump

  • No, that was Jean-Claude Van Damme

  • US press manufacturing consent for ground invasion of Iran

    Jump

  • I think I missed the part with examples of how the media is creating consent for this? On the contrary, I feel like I've seen mostly articles about capitalist interests: how this is going to raise gas prices, increase inflation, and hurt the economy. Outside of the typical right-wing propaganda outlets like Fox News, the sense I get is the media recognizes this is deeply unpopular and there's little rationale for it. I do wish they'd push harder on those points rather than just reporting "facts," but that's a longstanding criticism.

  • Thank you for this. TMS has been around for a long time now and this is not news

  • “You cannot blockade the sun”: how to help Cuba’s green transition

    Jump

  • They're not thinking that far ahead

  • I was told it would be a cultural experience

    Jump

  • Arch Aplin, the owner of Buc-ee's, is a huge Republican donor who backs Trump-aligned candidates in Texas, including Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton. Buc-ee's really lost me when they opened one in Bastrop on 71 and planted a billboard over Hruska's, trying to drive away their business, but I would never go there regardless.

  • “You cannot blockade the sun”: how to help Cuba’s green transition

    Jump

  • First thing I thought of. I wouldn't put it past our current leadership to think blocking out the sun is a good idea

  • Florida Has Deemed All Existing Intro to Sociology Textbooks Illegal

    Jump

  • Florida has gone off the deep end in the worst way. I live in Texas, and every time I think we've got it bad, I look at Florida and feel a little better about my life.

  • Progressives Warn Democrats: Vote for Iran War Powers Resolution or Face Primary Challenge

    Jump

  • I don't know if you've ever spent much time in Cuellar's district, but there aren't very many progressives there. It's culturally very conservative, but also more collectivist given the Mexican and Tejano culture, so they don't fit as naturally into the Republican party and are more likely to support moderate or conservative Democrats. That said, Henry Cuellar is fucking awful

  • 'Medicare Advantage Is Not Medicare': Democrats Proposal Would Unmask For-Profit Fraudsters

    Jump

  • Medicare Advantage is a total scam. Having worked in healthcare, I've seen it first hand, and tried to inform my mother, but she wouldn't listen and refused to let go of her Humana Advantage Plan. "It's cheaper," she said, though she would have no problem affording more. Well guess what, she needed surgery, and they denied it. After much back and forth, they eventually approved it, but the HOSPITAL close to her wasn't in network, so she had to get it done in a totally different part of town. I finally convinced her to drop the Advantage plan and enroll in traditional Medicare after that.

    Why's it cheaper, mom? Because they get to keep all the money they don't spend on your care. The literal only reason Advantage plans exist is so healthcare companies can pocket money for denying you care.

  • What's going to happen to gas stations as cars electrify?

    Jump

  • Way less than $5 per tank, more like 5¢/gallon at an average gas station. They make 70¢ off me filling my tank.
