  1. Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 08-07-26

    I am a bit late today, but I decided to keep the Pook-Emu Bee links running with four in a row before our off-day tomorrow (Newsletter Saturday). 1. Private email is fine, actually (Matthew Guay for Buttondown Blog. August 7, 2026.) I agree. But I my own solution (SimpleLogin) is not specifically listed (they note Proton Mail, which now owns Simple Login, but I have SL separate from Proton). 2.

  3. In nyc there are 'health buck' supplement dollars at the farmers market when you are spending #EBT (food stamps).

    If you get 10$ out of your EBT, you get 10$ extra in health bucks

    If you get 20$, you get ten dollars in health bucks

    So everyone limits their withdrawal to 10$ per transaction.

    DECENT market managers allow you multiple transactions

    Then there are the overprivileged exclusory dismissive millennials whose job it is to follow you from kiosk to kiosk to limit your transactions.

    And if you are that type, just FUCK YOU

    Nazi fucking cvnts all of you, regardless of gender

    Unfollow, block, whatever, just remove yourself from me

  5. HASSETT: That's a technical matter. Personal income includes lots of things like transfers and food stamps that we have been reducing as part of our effort to make government leaner and meaner..

    The fact that #trump picks these morons to go on Sunday shows to spew this vomit is interesting.

    Cutting food for poor people is making America leaner?
    Wtf?

  6. #Porrentruy🇨🇭#Jura station in May 2020: the RBDe 566 221 trainset, with a “Chemins de fer du Jura” sticker on the front, is awaiting departure. This unit was built in the 1970s and operated, initially, in the #Bern area as #EBT Class RBDe 4/4.

  8. "Day 3: @Walmart EBT still broken. Declined at checkout, can't even check my balance. You rake in billions in SNAP dollars but can't fix a 3-day outage. The most vulnerable customers you serve treated like absolute trash. We're used to being ignored. Not anymore. #Walmart #EBT

  10. I haven't seen anything about this but there was a literal #foodRiot in Union square the Friday before thanksgiving.

    I heard about it the day after and posted

    But I have an update on what happened and what I saw myself today

    The Asian community has organized and they go up in large groups of 10 to 15 people and swarm the table some showing pictures of #EBT cards. All of them wearing masks and speaking in Chinese at the same time, trying to get the golden tickets.* My friend A. who has been working these markets for 20 years and has seen any number of things happen was very impressive shutting it down

    But she said that 20k was cleaned out of her summer market last week in the bronx.

    And other people are missing out there was a guy with only one hand who was getting his EBT tokens and she just kept on yelling no more money no more money and the Asian phalanx went away... But she slipped me 40 surreptitiously and I was able to give the guy 20.

    You can't blame people that are hungry.. if the system is being taken advantage of it it's such a tiny scale compared to what's happening elsewhere that it's hard to even get upset about that it's just that there is a zero-sum game when it comes to #publicBenefits and is getting even worse as time goes on and anyway a lot of thoughts about this including issues of cultural insensitivity etc but I just wanted to put it out there because I don't know if anyone's talking about it and it feels pretty important

    *This is in its way a precursor to #universalBasicIncome and this type of abuse is going to be what slows down it's adoption because people will say #corruption is inevitable (which it isn't: this is such a slapdash ad hoc situation in the first place I have to respect the organization, in the second place I do a version of it myself by going from market to market to market I stand out it's hard to miss me there's no way I could do this but they go around the corner change clothes cover their faces and then try to get the $20 over and over again

  12. Things looking up a tiny bit. After almost 4 months my #EBT card has finally arrived and I can get groceries.

    I still have rent, medical bills, and lack of a winter coat to contend with. Still looking for a job, and waiting on my disability.

  13. Finally heard from the #EBT people. They're sending another card. They couldn't provide the number, nor do they expedite but at least it's on the way!

  14. #FotoVorschlag Eventuell ist es ein 'Skurriles Hobby' Geldscheine zu scannen und ihren Weg durch die Welt zu verfolgen?
    Genauer genommen den Druckercode und die Seriennummer von Euroscheinen.
    Das machen doch tatsächlich eine ganze Menge Menschen.

    Vielleicht sind gar Menschen hier, die das Hobby selbst betreiben?

  16. Elites calling it a cave is ivory tower bs.

    I'm willing to bet none of the liberal writers and podcasters calling it a cave don't have food in their pantries and fridge's. They have tons of it.

    Compromising on the shutdown was the prudent thing to do if we care about people who hadn't been paid for five weeks , some with little or no EBT to feed their kids.

    Imagine how disconnected you have to be to ask them to wait longer.

  18. The War On Christmas

    Dinner. The irony of the WOC guys mad about whether you say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas while supporting policies that will starve people ON Christmas is not lost on me.

  20. Coffee and Diet Cola and Little Debbie cakes would perform some psychic repair on me and I got my weekly SNAP benefits from Virginia's emergency funds, but it is barely above freezing outside right now and I'm just not willing to go walking to the store until it at least gets closer to 50 outside.

  22. The ongoing government shutdown and the major cuts to SNAP are devastating, but community groups and state politicians are stepping up to fill some of the gaps.

  25. These #maga #racists literally believed there was a "black version" and "white version" of these government services. They literally thought that #ACA and #Obamacare were different things. They actually think #SNAP and #EBT are different things... WTF... I would be shocked by the stupidity, but I know these morons... I grew up surrounded by them

  27. Trump's Hunger Games.

    By authorizing #SNAP payments to proceed , did #Trump admit he was starving kids for political points?

    Is there no limit to his bloated depravity?
