A hero isn’t necessarily a ham sandwich.

Why doesn’t anyone want to talk about ICE on ICE violence?

Nature is wild.

Case in point — Some animals give live birth to pregnant daughters:

A typical life cycle involves flightless females giving live birth to female nymphs who may also be already pregnant, an adaptation scientists call telescoping generations—without the involvement of males.

Well damn - I was looking to book a hotel at a location I’ve historically booked with Hilton. But since they’re out now, Marriott properties were on the short list but I guess they’re out now too.

Is this going to end up being one of those situations where all the players in the market are awful?

I’ve been having what I believe is the same issue on iOS. Dunno which version it started with and I’m on the beta, but it fits the entire content within the phone’s display instead of how the content is typically displayed zoomed in to the corners get rounded with the display’s rounded corners. (Hope that made sense; it’s hard to explain)

For me it’s the sleep data/tracking. I probably had the thing for a year or two before I even started wearing it overnight.

The score was so much better than the movie…

Long live Voyager!

 

A Minneapolis pastor made a shocking confession about what an ICE agent told him after detaining him.

A veteran jazz ensemble and a New York dance company have canceled events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, intensifying the fallout at one of the nation’s pre-eminent arts centers after it was renamed to include President Trump.

The center had previously promoted two New Year’s Eve performances by the Cookers as an “all-star jazz septet that will ignite the Terrace Theater stage with fire and soul.” But those performances, like an annual Christmas Eve jazz concert hosted by Chuck Redd, are now canceled.

The Cookers did not give a reason for the decision in a statement on Monday that said, “Jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless insistence on freedom: freedom of thought, of expression, and of the full human voice.”

But the band’s drummer, Billy Hart, told The New York Times that the center’s name change had “evidently” played a role. He acknowledged that the group was concerned about possible reprisals.

 

Folks - I need help.

I bought the UDR7 router during the Black Friday sale just to see what the hype was about and since then I’ve already placed multiple orders for hundreds of dollars of equipment. As we speak I have a cart full of over a thousand dollars more equipment that I’m on the cusp of submitting and and there is no end in sight.

If there is anyone out there who can talk me out of this rabbit hole I fear this may be the last chance for salvation

The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands and candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need

The shutdown will halt about $8 billion a month in federal food assistance. Walmart captures 24% of all SNAP shopper spending, according to Numerator’s 2025 SNAP Evolution report—triple Kroger’s share and far ahead of Costco, Amazon and Sam’s Club.

Walmart was the first retailer to accept SNAP online in all 50 states in 2023 and launched the Walmart+ Assist program, which offers half-price memberships for those receiving aid.

“If SNAP payments stop, spending by the lowest income groups will fall,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of data and analytics firm GlobalData. “Walmart gets a plurality of the spending, so it will be hit the hardest.”

This was somewhat epiphanic for me.

I already recognized companies such as Walmart were subsidizing pay through social programs such as SNAP and essential funneling/laundering tax payer money to their executives.

This headline made me further realize they’re not only making taxpayers subsidize wages, they’ve also effectively turned the USD into a form of company scrip. While that scrip can be spent at some other locations I bet a large percent of funneled right back to e.g. Walmart itself. If you already work at Walmart it makes spending your SNAP benefit there easier.

 

Seems like there should be a better/easier way to cross post something like this from Mastodon to Lemmy? If there is please let me know 🙏

So I never got deep into anime but I’ve been slowly working through my backlog of mostly Studio Ghibli movies and this morning Grave of the Fireflies jumped out as sounding interesting.

I was surprised to see it looks like there are THREE different English dubs and was wondering which is everyone’s favorite or if there is a fan consensus on which is “the best” version.

I assume the original Japanese with subtitles is the best way to watch it and I will probably rewatch it that way myself, I’ll be watching with someone who English is a second language and just can’t keep up with subtitles.
