I got curious and looked for an explanation, apparently ducks are illegal goods in The Far Side. The wolves are even snorting quack.

Just a heads up about the biblically accurate angels meme, the word for eyes also translates to lights. It’s more fun to pretend that it’s eyes but they were just describing their DBZ auras.

The Danes, or the Angles, or the Saxons? Or the Romans? Or the …

I’d imagine you can run some kind of custom script to disable or reassign the key, similar to what ahk does.

Cattle numbers are definitely down, but monopolization of ranching has been carrying on at a pretty good clip as well. I think it’s a safe bet that the new point of equilibrium they find will still be more expensive, even inflation adjusted. There’s a similar trend across most agribusiness that I’ve seen, especially with farms going out of business in droves because of the pandemic.

The internet seems to think it’s because rabbits naturally hop so he’s putting a jumping rabbit in a different, absurd context. I don’t really get it though.

I agree that Schumer’s political approach and public rationale is awful, but not voting for the budget would’ve given the Trump admin free reign to do worse on top of blaming the Democrats for it and convincing their supporters. A government shutdown would’ve given the executive branch more power to manipulate funding, including to things they can’t touch without legal challenges otherwise. I’d rather people be able to go after them in the courts, even if they’re doing awful stuff that takes longer to reverse.

This is why those senators broke with the party, because a no vote would’ve been performative and made the situation worse. The yes votes are mostly in states where deprogrammable independents are a meaningful part of the electorate for 2026.

You know what, you’re right. Numbers have shifted since I last checked this, there’s more funding from members than before 2020. The (now 30%) station contribution has less federal dollars in it checking the larger station revenue reports. It’s probably around 15% without spreadsheeting it, I didn’t check PBS.

Nah they get more than that, it’s like 40-70% but it filters through individual member stations. This cut will be felt. Even the shift in his first term towards more corporate donations to stay afloat hurt them, badly.

For what it’s worth, I could tell. Lots of people can’t recognize sarcasm anymore if they aren’t beaten over the head with it and an /s tag.

Lutnick is not Trump, he works for him and has never been impeached.

The wild thing is that we do have access to it here, there are small farms growing quality produce and heirloom varieties not available in Europe. But that’s not what gets sold in supermarkets in population centers. The problem is in the middlemen and marketing, all unregulated for profit from crap.

Yeah, the other side says “slow”.

Looks like Reuters is saying that Israel denies hitting this facility, but they shot at a nearby Hamas rocket site. Odds are good something came from there, like the hospital Hamas accidentally struck last year. Plenty to criticize without making things up.

This torture method is a bit of a stretch…

Ok, so it’s flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.
