And it's not coming back in my lifetime.
It’s terrifying to admit it, but America’s entire soft-power toolkit around the world has been almost completely wiped out.
USAID has been gutted, Voice of America has been gutted, and outside the United States about 95% of the media image of America now consists of Trump’s endless outrageous antics — the daily scandals and insults that spark outrage, or more often, fits of roaring laughter and cringe.
This is almost word-for-word the way the most vulgar, most cartoonish Kremlin propaganda of hatred toward America and the entire West has portrayed the U.S. for decades.

Anyone on here w/experience being defrauded by amazon's Italian branch? I've ordered & paid for stuff that was never delivered; tho promised refunds in multiple customer service chats with amazon reps, no refund ever materialized. Anyone else experienced this & got resolution?

Biggest mistake of 2025 (so far!):ordering from @StaplesStores.
All I needed was one (1) printer cartridge. Delivery promised in 2 days.
But no...now it's a whole saga: delivery date was 100% fake & they won't allow cancellation: now I'll have to waste a few days to get a refund.

something about books getting smaller to save the planet while endless AI swallows glaciers whole to "summarize" emails

Men's median earnings rose at twice the rate of women's median earnings in part because men are overrepresented in high-wage jobs and women in low-wage jobs. It's not only being paid less for the same work; it's that class inequality and gender inequality are inseparable.
The gender wage gap just widened for the first time in 20 years
Yep, you read that right. axios.com/2024/09/11/gen…

I need you all to know that since speaking up about women being afraid to vote for Harris, I get messages every day from phone bankers and canvassers that this is happening and women are afraid to vote because of what their husband may do/say. This is voter intimidation.
