Turns out the biggest donation of toys to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital each year doesn’t come from the drop box in the lobby of your dentist’s office. It doesn’t come from the toy drive at your veterinarian, your kid’s school, or a local broadcast news station. Nope—it comes from strippers.

Portland strippers have donated $183,000 worth of toys over the past 14 years to Doernbecher as the result of an annual event called Tatas for Toys. This year’s show will be held Dec. 16 at a new venue, the Alberta Rose Theatre.

Pro-Trump owner shocked as grocery store that thrived for 43 years goes bankrupt under his tariffs and policies Wong, who supported Trump in the last election, said he was swayed by campaign promises to reduce grocery costs. But now, as his business struggles to stay afloat, he admits the reality looks very different. Grocery inflation is at a two-year high, and prices continue to climb with no end in sight.

Wong told NPR that virtually all of his products have increased in price since early this year. For instance, a box of mabo tofu sauce — a popular Sichuan dish — has gone from $2.75 last year to $3.95 at the beginning of this year. “We just had this shipment come in yesterday — it’s $5. We cannot catch up. Every shipment coming in, we have to put a new price on it,” Wong said.

After arriving in the United States from Somalia back in 2009, Fiqy never expected to be contacted by a major political campaign—yet Trump’s team reached out, asking him to help energize Somali-American voters before the election.

He took on the task with pride. But now, as a sweeping ICE operation targets Somali communities across the Twin Cities—and after hearing the president repeat harsh, blanket remarks about Somalis—Fiqy says his support has collapsed.

This is ANOTHER lynching.

But the news doesn't want to call it that.

Offshoring is so bad, even the DEPARTMENT of HOMELAND SECURITY has to use workers in other countries.

In addition, Narayanan says he uncovered a suspicious line of code broadcasted from the company to the vacuum, timestamped to the exact moment it stopped working. “Someone — or something — had remotely issued a kill command,” he wrote.

“I reversed the script change and rebooted the device,” he wrote. “It came back to life instantly. They hadn’t merely incorporated a remote control feature. They had used it to permanently disable my device.”

In short, he said, the company that made the device had “the power to remotely disable devices, and used it against me for blocking their data collection… Whether it was intentional punishment or automated enforcement of ‘compliance,’ the result was the same: a consumer device had turned on its owner.”

They kill switched it remotely. Yikes.

Did World War 2, Indiana Jones, Wolfenstein, and Quintin Tarantino not explain what we do to Nazis?

This is why I immediately assume you're a moron if you watch Fox News.

Didn’t she accuse someone of SA when she was underage? Yes, when she was 17, so her comment about girls even younger is insane.

But that gets to the heart of Azealia Banks. She’s insane. She’s part of the lgbtq+ community and her sibling is trans, but she supports JK Rawlings and belittles trans women and has likened the lgbtq community to the KKK.

She believes that African Americans should be paid reparations for the crime of slavery, which zero republicans would ever grant.

She flip flopped her endorsement of Trump in 2016. Despite saying women’s issues were too important to vote for him, she celebrated his win. She then did the same basic thing in 2025, but for who knows what reasons.

She’s pro Russia as hell as well as a Zionist.

I’m not sure how we get it to happen, but she needs to put up her brain for scientific studies. The neurons are firing in ways rarely seen in humans.

Some of my favorite tweets have been the ones accusing Grok of being broken. One tweet even "threatened" Grok for abuse?
