Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - My parents were really old when they had me—mid-40s. Old enough that they were teenagers during The Great Depression.
They had so many insane stories about that time. Oatmeal for dinner. Kids sleeping 4 to a bed. My grandfather going out in the street at night looking for cigarette butts so he could pull out enough tobacco to roll his own cigarette. All the kids going to work in their late teens and giving all their money to my widowed grandmother so the entire family could survive.
They were poor.
One other theme that always echoed from those stories was that they “never went on relief.” (“Relief" was what they called government welfare programs back then.)
They were so proud of that fact. It was shameful to go “on relief,” and they never did.
What happened to that America?

The Daily Signal @DailySignal - Virginia and New Jersey's gubernatorial races indicate Republican candidates matching or surpassing Trump's past margins. This trend could signal a significant shift in voter sentiment, potentially threatening Democrats' "second blue wall" in 2026 and 2028.

The Dalbo Dog @Dalbodog - Honestly, this might be one of the funniest airport stories ever.
A traveler shared how she got pulled aside for a random luggage inspection after a sniffer dog wouldn’t stop pawing at her suitcase. She swore she hadn’t packed anything suspicious, but as the dog kept sniffing, her anxiety went through the roof. You know that moment when your brain starts inventing impossible crimes, like, “What if someone slipped something into my bag? What if I’m about to be on the news?”
Security finally opened her suitcase… and burst out laughing. Inside was a neatly packed bag of dog treats. She had bought them as a little present for her own pup back home.
Meanwhile, the sniffer dog looked way too proud of himself, tail wagging like he just solved a major case. As she walked away, she overheard the officer sigh and say to the dog, “Can you be more serious? We haven’t docked your pay at all!”
The internet agrees: that dog may not have found contraband, but he definitely found what really mattered, snacks.
