I’d also be curious to see how they’ve adjusted the language on the project 2025 website, what sort of dog whistles are they using now when the light is turned on for overturning the rule of law, separation of powers, etc etc.



As noted in other comments, that certainly happens now even with paper tags - but it makes that wheel just a bit more greased…

It’s understandable given the effort required to update tags manually, but it would be nice to see price guarantees from stores (“price stable for 24 hours!”).


Regularly spaced updates are great - certainly Risk of Rain 2 comes to mind.

Hopefully Gearbox doesn’t try to push it into negative territory…


It’s not just Walmart - the entire grocery sector is doing it. The potential for abuse is certainly not low.

The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds. - NPR


Should also be noted that the covid tax credit drove childhood poverty to 8%.

In 2021, bolstered by federal pandemic relief, economic security programs drove the poverty rate down to a record low of 8.0 percent. The expiration of that aid drove poverty back up in 2022, to 12.4 percent. The number of people living in poverty fell by 14.5 million between 2019 and 2021 and rose back up by 14.5 million in 2022. - Source

It should be noted that the covid era tax credit was also redeemable by those below the income threshold.


  • Expand the Child Tax Credit so that even the poorest of families receive it

Tax credit would be huge to reduce childhood poverty, but the housing changes would be amazing for transforming so many lives…


He is seeking more than $50,000 in damages and trial by jury “on all issues so triable.”

That… seems insanely low. It’s likely not even a year’s salary.


Thus, the war on disinformation begins to look very like the war on drugs.

Ain’t that the fucking truth.


To be fair, there are 34 other works dismissed this way in Ireland - so at least the potential for further damages is schadenfreudific.


You’d think he would have discussed it when he was negotiating.

But, I can’t help but include this hilariousness.


“So what you’re saying is: You like what my friends and I do with our Borderlands video games even more than you like what some of the biggest and best cast and crew of film makers on the planet have done,” he wrote. “I’m super flattered! We’re working extra hard four you on what’s next….”

…what? Lmao.

Having the best crew doesn’t matter if you’re trying to race the Daytona 500 with a box car with a monkey that was only trained to turn right and to have an actress in her late 50s play a character in her early 20s.



Nothing wrong with leaders who are committing crimes against humanity?

Man, Trump might have loved a leader from 1934’s Germany…



Sure, but promoting the explicit sexual exploitation of women doesn’t seem to be the answer.

Like, maybe not pushing for taking sexually explicit photos of un-consenting persons?

One of these categories was Erotica, which gave players PP for taking photos of women’s cleavage, underwear or any other revealing clothing.

If you dont want to buy the game without that, then you don’t want to buy the game, you want to buy Girls Gone Wild.


The way he described it is also rather false.

It made an emergency landing. That is tremendously different from “going down” - otherwise called crashing.

Dudes a liar about some weird shit.


That’s the original. Remake isn’t out yet.

Remedy has been taking a lot of money from Epic (they were the publisher for Alan Wake 2, hence why that isn’t on steam).

Not sure why a company so successful needs a publisher… :/




So all that posturing, for what?

Two additional debates where you can be a rambling idiot while getting upset about inconsequential things like crowd size?


watch Trump

No thanks, I don’t need word vomit in my brain.



His supporters don’t care - he could commit genocide and they wouldn’t care, as long as hes hurting the right people.




Enshitification marches on - why anyone chooses to stay on sites like Reddit or Twitter (and its Twitter until they stop referring to themselves as Twitter in their emails), I don’t understand.


Sounds like a way for them to tap into the OnlyFans market…


It’s sort of baffling why he picked Vance - what exactly does he bring to the table? All the polling I’ve seen suggest Republicans don’t really like him, and that’s been Trump’s game to just get his supporters more excited…

Pence made sense, because he brought a segment that Trump has no connection to


Those that haven’t tied their hips to Trump are now party outsiders.

Consider, a former republican presidential candidate who was eating ice cream alone in their DC apartment.

Trump is the republican establishment now.


Honestly, it would be a brilliant move for Harris to agree to an additional debate on Fox after the ABC debate.

Bonus points if she asks him when his next court case is, followed up by how many undocumented immigrants are crossing the border now (an actual number) just to highlight how much he cares about himself and couldn’t be bothered with facts.


Man, he really is the whiney middle child that complains about the older brother cheating, huh?

He’s the one trying to change the debate because he’s scared, lol


Maybe he’s talking about all the jobs for black people Trump everyone else is talking about?

It’s weird how everyone but Trump keeps bringing up race. 🙄



They also note that: Last month, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) publicly thanked Musk for doing “an exceptional job of demonstrating a point that we have made for years—and that is the fact we live in an oligarchic society in which billionaires dominate not only our economic life and the information we consume, but our politics as well.”

I hope to be as salient as Bernie when I’m his age (shit… maybe I should be that salient now).

Also, do you expect anything less from a breeder kink nazi?




Tbf, Powell doesn’t make the decision alone - it gets decided by the FOMC every 5-8 weeks

I tend to think Powell is following the data and making pragmatic decisions for rate cuts - but this article does make important points.

That said, the Fed has basically spelled it out they will cut rates “very soon”.


Sounds like he really misunderstood the old “customer is always right” adage.


Donald Trump questioned Kamala Harris’s racial identity in a confrontational appearance at a Black journalists’ conference.
Trump was questioned immediately on his rhetoric about race during a tense appearance at a Black journalists’ conference, where the audience at times gasped and scoffed at his remarks. Edit: Added long form archive link since the short link was giving me issues.
