Ah, I think I was on their beta a couple years ago, but at the time Mlem won me over. I should give them another look. Thanks.

What app are you using that lets you tag users?

That is one durable paywall. Here’s a NYT gift link if any fellow poors want to read about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/us/politics/overdraft-fees-limit-cfpb.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7U4.0eSp.lp_fuOgr-Bs3&referringSource=articleShare

Great speech. As an American, it breaks my heart seeing what has become of our relationship with Canada.

Kleptocracy.

Last two paragraphs are interesting.

The order comes at the end of a rocky week for the field of law. On Thursday, one of the country’s top law firms, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, brokered a deal with the White House in order to spare the firm from an executive order that suspended security clearances for lawyers and staff.

As part of the deal, according to a post from Trump on social media, the firm “will dedicate the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump’s term to support the administration’s initiatives, including: assisting our nation’s veterans, fairness in the justice system, the president’s Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and other mutually agreed projects.”

We should keep this firm and the work they do over the next four years in the spotlight.

Social security floats above a loyalty and political punditry, especially for recipients. That check is their lifeline. You fuck with that and people are likely to turn pretty quickly.

Liberals just need their own richest man in the world.

If you think the civil rights act matters to nazis in 2025 then yeah. But I’m living in reality.

I read the whole fucking article thank you very much.

I hope this shit backfires and we see “no republicans” and “no Christians” signs. Fuck this place.

Howard pointed out that when a survey of shellfish in the Bering Sea was missed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Alaska’s $200 million snow crab fishery collapsed the following year. “Firing people like me will make it incredibly hard for NOAA Fisheries to fulfill its mission,” she said.

This is the shit that these smooth brains don’t get about all these scientists studying esoteric stuff. They just can’t handle the simplest of abstractions away from “tax dollars spent staring at fish.”

There’s a big argument from people who speak Russian about the nuance of this moment and whether Putin was dismissing the moderator. I’m choosing not to jump on this as any sort of hopeful wedge between Trump and Putin. Feels to easy to be misconstrued.

Yo we bout to see a buncha new Nazi salutes

Thanks, and yeah I don’t dislike strong opinions. You gave an essay answer about some folks you didn’t like so much, so I figured you’d have an essay for those you did like.

Do you ever listen to On the Media? I have appreciated their more focused goal of analyzing how the news is reported.

I dip in and out with them. Sometimes I just need to hear some other people bitching about shit (because it’s easier than riling up my group of friends all the time). But I definitely tire of the constant outrage.

Also I’m not sure I agree with the other guy’s take on “consent for extant powers” when they were pretty fucking vocal about and critical of Biden last year… long before the catastrophic debate.

I prefer Offline and PSTW for the (usually) more even-keeled discussions and thoughtful interviews.

“Newsreader DAZED & BEFUDDLED by hyperbole!“

You’ve got a lot of very strong opinions here. What news are you yourself listening to regularly?
