Back when I was broke and working full time while going to college, I did feel like I had time to cook dinner but also I didn't have a smartphone eating my free time nor did I expect every meal to be a 5 star meal and I think those two things might have something to do with it.

@John_Hudson @hannah_natanson She is being a brave victim here but she has not come close to facing what conservative journalists have been through for about 10 years now. The Pulitzer is just an arm of the Democrat party and has lost all credibility.

Bravo to @hannah_natanson, whose Pulitzer Prize reporting overcame an outrageous and chilling FBI raid on her home, a threat to journalism in this country

Seattle has a new salvage lumber warehouse in SODO, transforming construction waste into reusable building materials. Supported by a $4 M @EPARegion10 grant, the @earthwiseinc facility gives discarded wood a second life while expanding access to affordable, sustainable lumber.

@ryxcommar recommend using sonos devices through airplay if you aren’t already. seems to save me more headaches than the spotify native integration
English
Ahhhhhh it feels so good to not fight with a user interface and weird ass UX decisions to find and listen to the music I'm paying for. I can't wait until I go home and I don't have to fight with the Sonos integration to listen to music too!

After 4 months I'm giving up on Apple Music. Shockingly garbage app in so many ways. Back to Spotify for me. If new CEO John whatshisname wants to fire every product manager who works on it and hire me to lead a team to make it not suck total ass my DMs are open.

@UziCryptoo I never understand people that say it’s stupid to pay off your house early. To beat the 3% mortgage rate wouldn’t you also need to have 450k cash laying around to put in the market to beat the 3% rate on a 450k home?

Just heard the best/worst caller on the Dave Ramsey podcast.
Married couple, under 30. $145,000 household income. Came on the show to celebrate paying off the mortgage on their $450,000 Georgia home.
Said they starting paying it off early 5 years ago, meaning they had a low interest rate home loan (probably <3%) and started to aggressively pay it down right as interest rates were starting to rise.
Dave Ramsey loved it, launching into a lecture about how 26-year olds who say they can’t buy homes should look at this couple for inspiration. Hahaha.

I think Zohran's co-opting of efficiency from the right will be seismic for the American socialist project. We need to run a national campaign against The Contractor State—neoliberalism's grand, massively inefficient outsourcing of government functions to private contractors.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

@hasen_95dx @Dons_Lawn_Salon just because people like something doesn’t mean it’s good.

@Dons_Lawn_Salon If there is a style of writing common amongst popular posts on this platform, would this not be evidence that people like this style?

it low key sucks how every post on any topic from science to art to culture to war is basically written like this now

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@CodyModyMody44 Fuck you … you have no idea what I voted for … the shit playing out right now didn’t start with this fucking administration. They ALL serve the same master

I’ve had this post pinned to my profile since early November 2024 because of what it represented to me: my daughter’s first time exercising her right to vote. My belief, despite having doubts, in the democratic process. My belief in a movement and person I felt would fight for real change. I recently unpinned it given what I am experiencing … feelings of betrayal, confusion, anger, gullibility. And instead of fellow patriots understanding these very real feelings MANY are experiencing, we are met with insults (doomer, panican, libtard) completely unwarranted and childish AF. I’ll say it again, it takes a helluva lot more courage to go against the grain than to be a simp for it. RIP to the America I longed for and tried to believe in. 😢

My girl just voted for the first time! Question: she had to turn her shirt inside out as we were told it was illegal to wear a political shirt to vote. Is that true????

Trying out the 2004 Transformers game for the PS2, and it's one of the most impressive graphical showcases for the PS2 I've seen. Could almost pass as an Xbox title.

@ryxcommar @margwaret troll’s advocate: frozen food != a chicken nuggie hungry man microwave special. but I think marg is being a weird pedant.
I love frozen veggies and meat, the butchers at my farmers market only sell their meat frozen. I made a beef shank ragu yesterday. yum.
English
@margwaret It really does not. Frozen foods taste better than ever; pick better things at the frozen aisle. You can also learn some fast recipes that don't take more than like 30 minutes of your time including the cleanup, but I'm not even advocating for cooking here if you don't want to.

That shit tastes bad. It tastes like death. It looks like death. It smells like death. Let's be real. You can't ask people to work all day for other people & then come home & spend hours preparing delicious freshly cooked vegetables and meats or microwaved death slop. Let ppl eat
Senior PowerPoint Engineer@ryxcommar
some of you need to discover frozen microwave dinners. or like walking around the corner for a slice of pizza.

Things "they" don't want you to know:
- Eating Mexican food every day grants you immortality
- Linear regression is machine learning
- More people should consider rent and invest over buying a home
- Triple-A video games should cost $100

The last worker in the US who knew how to make Tubas is having his union job shipped to China by hedge fund billionaire and Trump advisor John Paulson who made the TV rounds to defend tariffs as a way to bring jobs back to US

Can someone please explain to me how someone gets 8 hours of sleep, 10,000 steps a day, goes to work, maintains good hygiene, cleans their house, exercises, takes care of their animals, and has time for hobbies and socializing?

need a hallmark movie about a greedy self interested farmer who won't provide an easement for transmission lines and causes the neighboring town's utility costs to skyrocket, meaning poor parents can't afford presents
