    I get a lot less from the GOP than I used to, now that HA is circling the drain.

    ‘Dark money’ group paying pro-Dem influencers up to $8K a month: report https://trib.al/zw60QPV

    There’s not much money in arguing with morons. Once Michael and ArtFart left, my stipend plummeted.

    It’s a continuing trend. Last year Boxcheck Momala had to play influential black people to “endorse” her.

    This year the DNC pays influencers to claim that a chick with a dick is really a woman.

    I should revise: It’s a continuing, dishonest trend.

    To celebrate the upcoming Labor let’s talk LAYOFFS:

    1) AP sez corps are hanging on to their workers. Nothing to see here.. Everything’s fine.. Like we should trust BLS anymore after DOGE and pants shitter put a project 2025 hack in charge.

    2) Fedex is laying off 611 workers.

    3) University of Chicago plans layoffs, needs to cut spending by 100 million

    4) Kroger, 1000 corporate layoffs

    5) Google cuts managers 35 percent

    6) Best Buy has increased sales (get it while you can shoppers!) but is announcing layoffs.

    7) Video game developers like Diablo and Rec Room are laying off.

    8) Over 3000 freight, logistics and manufacturing layoffs

    9) Nike is laying off.

    So many layoffs have hit U.S. companies recently that it can be hard to remember which giant company laid off how many thousands of workers on which day. And whether it’s Indeed or Glassdoor, Microsoft or Amazon, many of the job cut announcements are linked one way or another to AI. Now an analyst at financial analysis giant Moody’s is loudly ringing alarm bells about the huge number of layoffs across the U.S., warning that while the economy isn’t yet in a recession it’s right on the edge of one.

    We shop quality, not price. A fair amount of our groceries are purchased off-island. Tomatoes here, in particular, leave something to be desired.

    I miss Shoreline Central Market.

    Maga Mike Jesus Johnson went on CNN this morning to let everyone know that he’s going to bury the Epstein files.

    He literally said they have more important things to do in the house. Presumably planning the funeral of a traitor to her country.

    Now that the White House has been subpoenaed and is not cooperating and giving a fraction of redacted documents, there is no need for Congress to take any further action on the Epstein files.

    Quoted did I do good Mr. President? I know I’m a little old for you but I didn’t spill a drop. I swallowed it all. Can I maybe get a glass of water?”

    That Nazi “townhall” is on the hook for many millions:

    Elon Musk’s X has agreed to settle with thousands of former employees who sued the company after they were dismissed following Musk’s 2022 takeover.

    This isn’t the end of X’s employment disputes. In 2024, some of Twitter’s former top brass, including CEO Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, Chief Legal Counsel Vijaya Gadde, and General Counsel Sean Edgett, filed a separate lawsuit claiming they were owed more than $128 million in unpaid severance.

    The platform also faces the threat of a criminal investigation in France for alleged “organized interference,” as well as a lawsuit alleging X was negligent in its handling of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and slow-walked its response to reports.

    Couldn’t happen to a nicer pro-Nazi site.

    Trump says the U.S. would accept 600,000 Chinese students, sparking uproar among conservatives

    “If we are only mass deporting 1,000 illegals each day but allowing 600,000 Chinese spies to come to our country, how can we call them mass deportations?” Loomer said in a post on X Monday. “Do the math.”

    …on the hook for many millions

    Yes, it seems.

    Still fired: 60% of Twitter. The company is leaner and meaner without them.

    Say, how’s Mastodon doing these days?

    The following was written in October 2024. Coincidentally, about the same time last year QoS McHillbilly stopped plugging Mastodon. Weird:

    Fast forward to today, and Mastodon has lost nearly 1.8M of those users—over 60% of its peak activity. Of the 2.1M people who joined during the migration, only about 300K have stayed, meaning just 14% of those who came stuck with the platform.

    Anybody want to see a piece about all the companies who publicly left Twitter/X, only to quietly crawl back to resume advertising on Musk’s site? Welfare Queen YLB, maybe?

    600k * full tuition @ $60k per student =

    $36,000,000,000 to US universities.

    Some conservatives are unhappy. US university presidents and boards of regents, OTOH, understand what happens if DJT47 turns off the tap to those 36 billion dollars.

    The Even Bigger Fucking Moron has no idea what any of this means.

    Dictatorship on the horizon. No more elections.

    Be distracted by the in and out of the day. Self-defeating. Nobody said procreation would survive intelligently.

    You will die much sooner than later.

    The midterms are gonna be a bloodbath, Mike.

    plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California

    FOX News: Your response?

    MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go and govern his state and not be engaging in this.

    Translation – we have no accomplishments to run on, except throwing millions of people out of work, exploding the deficit, taking away healthcare, kidnapping children, tariff expenses and alligator Alcatraz, and he really needs to stop pointing it out

    And no, I won’t be helping release the Epstein files!

    I picked yesterday because full-day stats are available. I picked random Thursdays before that, beginning 6 weeks after inauguration day. Feel free to cherry-pick to the contrary.

    McHillbilly, comments?

    Yeah, but it won’t be of virus-driven, festering anal carcinoma and full-blown AIDS-related amoebic encephalopathy and PCP pneumonia, G-clown.

    You’ll have to tell us what that’s like. Much sooner than later.

    Hard to believe that Pritzker is talked about as a 2028 presidential prospect.

    On August 1, Governor J. B. Pritzker signed a bill that ranks among the most financially reckless in Illinois history. It includes pension “sweeteners” for Chicago police and fire employees hired after 2011. Experts estimate that it creates $11 billion in new liabilities and drops the “funded ratio” of Chicago police and fire pensions to just 18 percent, meaning that they have just 18 cents on hand for every dollar owed. (Actuaries consider funded ratios below 40 percent as being at the point of no return.)

    No American city has a worse public pension problem than Chicago. It carries more pension debt than 43 U.S. states and is home to seven of the ten worst-funded local pension systems in the nation. As a result, no other big city burns a larger chunk of its budget (around 40 percent) on debt and pensions every year.
    …
    Prior to Pritzker’s signature, these sweeteners passed unanimously out of the Illinois General Assembly. They also drew no public opposition from Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson. This makes it clear that Illinois is counting on residents of the 49 other states to fund its pension promises.

    The next time Democrats control the White House, US Senate, and the US House of Representatives, Democrats will bail out Illinois.

    And Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids will be forced to fund the bailout of Illinois, all while paying for my Social Security monthly check.

    Welfare Queen YLB will vote lockstep for the uber-burdening of her two fucked kids.

    Tariff touches all

    July PCE: Core inflation rose to 2.9%, highest since February

    Many policy-makers consider core inflation to be a better indicator of trends because it excludes the gas and groceries figures, which are volatile, CNBC sa

    “ you should be looking at at THE REAL unemployment number the U6 not this fake number the government puts out. Yaaaaaaargh” -HA Trolls of yore

    Americans can’t afford groceries as we head into the midterms, but here in this Iowa diner we found they all blame it on Joe Biden

    The company is leaner, meaner, and significantly poorer without them.

    I wasn’t plugging Mastodon. Merely using it as an example of the capabilities of ActivityPub. Bluesky is thriving, however. Without the millions of Russian and Chinese bots circle jerking to bigotry, misogyny, and Holocaust denial.

    Speaking of who will die sooner than later, Joni Ernst has quit.
    Internal polling indicated that she has no shot next year.
    And all the soybean bankruptcies haven’t even gotten going yet.

    Groomed child bride at the podium : “The president has the authority to fire those who are not aligned with his mission.”

    Well, kind of. Not the ones who are specifically given 6, 10 and 12 year terms so they are not at the whim of politics.
