@misslucidsdiary Shoutout to @DoorDash for charging a delivery fee, a service fee, a regulatory response fee, and apparently a 75% "we're just going to take the driver's tip" fee.

@misslucidsdiary @DoorDash Engineers were willing to code this. PMS and directors approved this. QA tested it. The number of levels for this to ship and not enough pushback to stop it means too many shitty people work at @DoorDash

@DoorDash I’m not throwing the dasher under the bus just so you can lock my account the second I hand over my order details and keep the credits anyway. How do I know? Reddit is filled with people saying the exact same thing happened to them.

Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"

Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. wlrn.org/2026-05-14/des…

False.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed the first federal minimum wage into law in 1938 via the Fair Labor Standards Act, clarified, “By living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of a decent living.”

@queenie4rmnola Minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage.

An AI-hallucinated reference is a falsified reference, and a falsified reference should be treated as a form of academic fraud
Zeke Darwin@Zeke_Darwin
Citing an AI hallucinated source that doesn’t exist is not equivalent to a typo.

Mossad booby‑trapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely — killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400.
• The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets.
• They did it over two consecutive days.
• On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before.
• The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone.
This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous mass‑detonation in history by the number of individual bombs.
'israelis' joke about it to this day.

“age verification works”
meanwhile over 400 scientists had signed a letter against age-verification because it may “cause more harm than good”
Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway@AGCHanaway
We took decisive action to require real age verification safeguards for websites distributing graphic pornography because protecting children comes before corporate profits. Legislation now confirms what we knew all along: age verification works, accountability matters, and minors should not have unrestricted access to explicit sexual content online. Missouri will continue leading the fight to defend children. stlpr.org/government-pol…

A reminder that Waymo is Google, and it just adds your taxi account to its profiling, surveillance, military contracting, and whatever else.
This person was erroneously designated a terrorist because he has an Arabic name.

The top three most expensive House primaries in history have all involved pro-Israel groups spending to get rid of an Israel critic.
1) Massie 2026, 2) Bowman 2024, 3) Bush 2024
Adam Johnson@adamjohnsonCHI
KY-4 being the most expensive primary in history is objectively nuts and clear evidence it’s about sending a message more than Massie, as such.

Cuba spent hundreds of millions combat Dengue 2, a disease the US introduced to the island. Sugar cane rust, also introduced by the US, destroys between 15 to 20 percent of the annual crop. Blue mold, introduced by the US, destroyed $400m in tobacco. This is never reported.

FIFA painted over a beautiful, long-standing mural in Downtown Dallas.
It was gifted to the city by marine life artist & conservationist Wyland in the 90s as a reminder to protect our beloved oceans.
What an unnecessary loss, especially given no matches are actually in Dallas.

@BobKerns @JimDMiller @bublitzkrieg @CCguerilla @predict_addict @tdietterich @arxiv I don’t think this person has ever checked a citation in their life or worked on a group project. Your response to them is exactly how it should be.
English
@JimDMiller @bublitzkrieg @CCguerilla @predict_addict @tdietterich @arxiv Surely, if you have 12 authors, you could assign each 1/4 of the citations, each getting a different subset.
And if your citation list is longer than your methods section, do you even have original research? Are they actually relevant, or just the result of a literature search?

@Villgecrazylady That lottery was won by an Oklahoman grocery store employee with no known connections to Epstein. And what is your source for there being a "computer glitch"? Just AI?

These people lower the entire internet's collective IQ by several orders of magnitude: @FmrRepMTG @ShawnRyan762 @MyLordBebo This winning lottery ticket excitedly discussed here was sold at a convenience store in Altus, Oklahoma on July 2, 2008. According to a contemporaneous local newspaper report, it was won by a grocery store worker who chose to remain anonymous under Oklahoma law, and collected the winnings through an anonymous entity that happened to be named "Zorro Trust." And was based in Oklahoma City. Epstein's coincidentally-named "Zorro Trust" was never incorporated in Oklahoma. By all accounts, Epstein never had any holdings in Oklahoma at all. His own "Zorro Trust," which handled expenses for his New Mexico ranch property, was legally incorporated in New York in 2008 and later moved to the Virgin Islands. Also, he was in prison in Florida at the time the ticket was sold. In summer 2008, the Epstein "Zorro Trust" bank balance was around $6,000. This dumb little tidbit of seemingly-scandalizing info was emailed to federal agents in 2009 by Conchita Sarnoff, an "anti-trafficking" activist who produced much of the early quasi-journalism on Epstein, for the Daily Beast and other prestigious outlets. Weirdly, Conchita never mentioned the blockbuster Oklahoma Lottery Revelation in her subsequent 2016 book on Epstein. Why would she withhold such a staggering scoop?!?! In short: no, Epstein did not "win the lottery." There is no "accountability" to be obtained in relation to this bizarre rumor. But yeah, you might have to do ten minutes of super boring research to learn the actual facts. It's so awesome that the most popular political/podcast personalities on social media, like Marge Greene and Shawn Ryan, are such incorrigible knuckle-draggers. Who'll just trumpet whatever braindead slop slides across their idiotic timeline.

On the evening that Epstein hit the Powerball… while locked in jail… the Powerball headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida, where the numbers are drawn, experienced a “computer glitch” causing the live televised drawing to be postponed until the next day.
Mel@Villgecrazylady
We’re coming up on the 18th anniversary of the rime Jeffrey Epstein won the $85 million powerball two days after he started serving his 13 month jail sentence in Florida. The ticket was sold in Oklahoma… which just so happened to be one of the few states where trusts could collect lottery winnings anonymously.

So sad. One officer testified that, on Jan 6th, she was holding on to another officer so he wouldn't get pulled out into the crowd and beaten.
She's been receiving death threats and needing protection since then. Trump pardoned her assailants.
English
@JoeySchmittPhD @apstrusus84 @XplodingCabbage @JimDMiller @tdietterich @arxiv They absolutely should’ve flagged, even if it’s just a warning to other researchers that their work is, has been, or frequently is cited in fraudulent work and label it as either a growing trend in gaps for LLM research so we can investigate how to prevent this.

@apstrusus84 @XplodingCabbage @JimDMiller @tdietterich @arxiv As someone who has worked on large collaborations where scientists work on individual sections, I don't really think the non-corresponding authors should be punished as severely as the main one.

A nonprofit is suing on behalf of people Rubio sanctioned for pressuring platforms to delete speech.
These are the folks who built advertiser blacklists, ran deplatforming campaigns, and helped write the EU's law forcing American companies to censor legal content.
Now they want a federal judge to protect them. The people who spent years arguing deplatforming isn't censorship are upset about being on a blacklist themselves...
