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.

AI strikes again:
Some brain-dead content scraper called @Cision has put me--a Sociology professor of 25 yrs--on a list of "editors" & "freelance journalists," selling my name & contact info to firms that now bombard me with PR emails.
@Ford, @Adobe: you're being ripped off.

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/gender-…

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.
