You know what, you’re right. Numbers have shifted since I last checked this, there’s more funding from members than before 2020. The (now 30%) station contribution has less federal dollars in it checking the larger station revenue reports. It’s probably around 15% without spreadsheeting it, I didn’t check PBS.

Nah they get more than that, it’s like 40-70% but it filters through individual member stations. This cut will be felt. Even the shift in his first term towards more corporate donations to stay afloat hurt them, badly.

For what it’s worth, I could tell. Lots of people can’t recognize sarcasm anymore if they aren’t beaten over the head with it and an /s tag.

That same artist just put out a new cover with the cabinet riding a missile into the ground. Think he likes political jokes.

The reason that the stock market cratered in response to this was that regular consumers are about to get hit with a 25%+ price increase on literally everything they buy. If you don’t make 25% more paycheck, you’re going to be cutting your lifestyle by the difference. Companies know this and are anticipating major lost revenue because people won’t have money to spend on their products. The price increases are probably going to be in full swing in 2-3 months, but that’s an educated guess, only.

Speaking from experience, the Epoch Times is an incredibly questionable source. They regularly publish conspiracy theories, lies, and they’re owned by the Falun Gong. Every once in a while a sample issue is sent out with some factual reporting (and a conservative bias, which is fine) to get people to subscribe and fall into the really ridiculous stuff. Re: your bias site, I do not know.

Yeah, the other side says “slow”.

Looks like Reuters is saying that Israel denies hitting this facility, but they shot at a nearby Hamas rocket site. Odds are good something came from there, like the hospital Hamas accidentally struck last year. Plenty to criticize without making things up.

This torture method is a bit of a stretch…

This is a really cool project, but I can’t help but wonder about the numbers. 1,400/month for a 1 bedroom when there are rentals for <1k nearby, closer to Pittsburgh proper. And the same price point will get you a place inside the city, if that’s where you work.

Not really, just a huge difference between the different regions of PA. Philadelphia/Pittsburgh/Harrisburg vote blue, their metros mostly do, the rest of the state is deep red.

State level elections are determined by whether or not the city people turn out to vote.

Ok, so it’s flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.
