If it's illegal to sleep on the streets, then it should be illegal to allow anyone to be unhoused, & everyone needs to have housing unconditionally, which our society has more than the resources for if they were not hoarded.

Interesting. I love when I come across little nuggets of knowledge like this on here.

Google Calendar’s Culling of Holidays Is a Values Call Users are complaining about what’s missing. Plus: The site putting AI chatbots to the test, and the baby formula winning over influencers.

β€œGoogle deleted Black History Month and other cultural items without disclosure, and it did so not only for 2025 and beyond but also for previous years retroactively. It feels a bit Orwellian, as if the past was erased, and the erasure forgotten.”

I agree; the first two were a bit too Shakespearean to me. Didn’t see Love and Thunder, but I like that Ragnarok did something new with the storytelling and characters.

Millennials can never catch a break. As soon as you level up financially the price of everything triples. Get me off this floating rock!
