  • US agency adopts rule to make it easier for consumers to cancel unwanted subscriptions

    Jump

  • Thanks for looking it up. It was a few years ago, so maybe I messed up the details along the way or the local branch manager was just being a dick to prevent a lost membership.

  • About time. Retro Fitness gym wanted a notarized letter from someone I know explaining why they no longer wanted the membership. Absolute insanity.

  • 'Dead heat': Trump pulls even with Harris in NBC News poll

    Jump

  • I want to commend you for how well you did that. Absolutely beautiful ending with “shop at the same Walmart as them”

  • Tesla unveils Cybercab: a $30,000 electric robotaxi coming in the next 2 years | Electrek

  • It will never be $30,000 or less. He did the same thing with the Model 3.

    You really just can’t believe anything this guy says regarding his products.

  • Favorite search engines or browsers?

  • Safari. Use DDG in browser, but primarily use Perplexity for searches via its app.

  • Trump insults Detroit during speech … in Detroit

    Jump

  • Amazing. No notes needed.

  • Update: Nothing illegal here. Virginia reused envelopes from last year.

    Jump

  • Honestly that is scary to see. People are going to lose the chance to influence. A true potential for a stolen election.

  • US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately | Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years

  • The company I work for was already using it for expected price hikes in February 2025 lol

  • Trump backs out of ‘60 Minutes’ primetime interview, CBS says

    Jump

  • “Fake News. 60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.

    “They insisted on cutting out of the interview to do fact-checking,” Cheung added.

    lol looks like the campaign knew he couldn’t help but lie and he’d be made to look like a fool.

  • Tim Walz Said He Was in Hong Kong in 1989 During Tiananmen. Not True.

    Jump

  • I’m not a fan of the “whataboutism” that’s bound to pop up in these replies. I like Walz quite a bit, but he got caught in a lie and it’s good to call both sides on things like this. It reminds them that we’re paying attention.

  • Trump is already preparing for J.D. Vance to lose the V.P. debate

    Jump

  • Vance is a soulless douche nozzle, but he’s a trained lawyer. I think he’ll hold his own just fine. I don’t think he’ll “beat” Waltz, but he’s probably not going to foam at the mouth over crowd sizes and pets being eaten.

    In the end, does a VP debate matter?

  • TIL "adrenalin" is a protected trademark owned by Endo International

  • I’ve never heard the term “genericized trademarks”

    I’ve always heard and read it as proprietary eponyms.

  • AOC says embattled NYC Mayor Eric Adams should resign for the 'good of the city'

    Jump

  • I mean innocent until proven guilty and such, but this guy has always been a dope and should never have been elected. I still think Katherine Garcia would have been a better pick.

    It’ll be interesting to see what clown the GOP runs against him this time. They could possibly have a decent chance (remember, NYC GOP is generally much more moderate than national level) but it’ll inevitably be some idiot who’s never done anything.

    I wonder if he gets a primary challenger.

    Also, if NYC were a country, it would be ranked 13th in GDP globally and THESE are the people we get to choose from to run it.

  • GOP congressman rips Haitian immigrants, warns them to get 'out of our country'

    Jump

  • "Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP," he said

    But they’re not suing Biden and Harris who are, you know, our President and VP. They’re suing YOUR candidates because of THEIR dangerous rhetoric.

  • Manchin not endorsing Harris after she backed ending filibuster to codify abortion rights

    Jump

  • Why not just make the filibuster what it used to be and require the people who want to wield it to hold the floor for hours upon hours with no break? Some of it was silly. Some of it heroic. Either way, it required someone to truly be willing to stand behind their beliefs and, thus, was used much less often.

  • Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

    Jump

  • The headline is absolutely NOT overstating things.

    From page 64 of the actual report:

    1. Politicization of Intelligence Products. This investigation revealed no evidence of politicization (roughly "write this analysis this way to support this political assertion") 467 by anyone in the I&A chain of command or DHS Secretary's office. However, Mr. Murphy did make other attempts to controvert the collection-analysis process. Particularly illuminative was the promulgation of the term "Violent Antifa Anarchists Inspired" (VAAI).

    As discussed by several intelligence analysts, to understand the genesis for VAAl, one must take the events of the summer into context. In many conversations, Mr. Murphy stated that the violent protesters in Portland were connected to or motivated by ANTIFA. This may have made sense to Mr. Murphy based on his own beliefs, but 1&A did not have collections (evidence) to show it and absent reporting or some other evidence on motivation, 1&A analysts could not ascribe motivation to the violent actors as Mr. Murphy expected. Mr. Murphy would tell the analysts to cite to existing OSIRs as evidence of the motivation, but the OSIRs did not draw a connection to ANTIFA. For weeks, the analysts had been telling Mr. Murphy that because ANTIF A was not in the collection, it could not be put into the analysis. Notwithstanding this feedback from the I&A analysts, on July 25, 2020, Mr. Murphy sent an email to his senior leadership instructing them that henceforth, the violent opportunists in Portland were to be reported as VAAI, unless the intel "show[ed] ... something different."468 The analysts stated that "if you lived through the process, you could see where this VAAI definition was coming from a mile away. He got tired of the analysts telling him they did not have the reporting and he was convinced it was ANTIFA so he was going to fix the problem by changing what the collectors were reporting."

    This is a pretty big fucking deal considering how much the GOP was crying about ANTIFA.

  • Teamsters union declines to endorse in presidential election, breaking decades of precedent

    Jump

  • Majority of large union supports candidate who has been clearly against unions.

    Makes sense.

  • Harris refuses to veer off script in her second high-profile interview

  • Is her consistency an issue? What kind of nonsense headline is this?
