This song makes me think of the strength of community and the power many twigs have when bound tightly together.

First, I’d like to say how much I appreciate the Thunder app. It had been overall great!

Lately, just in the past couple days, I’ve been having problems with it showing some images. Most noticeable is the Hexbear stickers.

This is what it looks like on my mobile browser:

And this is how it looks in the Thunder app lately:

As you can see, it isn’t all of them, only some of them that won’t show. It seems like it is only happening in more recent posts, and seems to be mostly the hexbear stickers, but it also seems like some articles’ thumbnails and some uploaded pictures are broken too.

I was wondering if this was happening to others, if there’s a quick fix I could try, or if anyone knows the issue before I submit it as a bug on GitHub. Thanks!

Edit: Can I get some feedback on the downvotes? Is it just because you guys don’t like Hexbear? Because that’s one of the reasons I use Thunder. If it’s something else, like this is a dumb question or “duh, that’s a bug, why not just submit it?”, please let me know. I’m just trying to do the right thing and not waste anyone’s time.

Trump backtracks on campaign pledge to bring down grocery prices

The president-elect walked back what was always a wildly unrealistic campaign promise.

Dec 12, 2024, 10:19 AM ESTUpdated 10 hours ago

President-elect Donald Trump admitted in an interview with Time magazine that it will be difficult for him to reduce consumer prices, contrary to statements he made on the campaign trail this year.

Trump told Time in an hourlong interview for its “Person of the Year” feature that his presidency wouldn’t be a failure if he failed to bring the price of groceries down.

“I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will,” Trump said, according to the transcript.

Trump is right that it’s very hard to achieve across-the-board price reductions. Curbing inflation is only a matter of slowing the rate of price increases — actual economy-wide price drops typically don’t happen outside of a massive economic downturn.

Nevertheless, Trump repeatedly told voters during the campaign that electing him president would cause prices to tumble.

. . .

“We will cut your taxes and inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages and bring thousands of factories back to America,” Trump said at a Georgia rally in October, reciting a line he used in speeches at several other events.

I like to think she’s guarding me…

I have been narcoleptic since high school. I was only diagnosed with it 8 years ago (I am ~40), so I actually lived with it for around ~15 years undiagnosed. In that time, I graduated high school, college, and went into a career.

So, with the preliminaries out of the way, and in a effort to contribute to the AMA comm:

You always need an 8 on your team for fixing things, and a 9 in case shit gets real.

If I could choose only one though, 8.

Hey, I love the app but I’ve never reported a bug before so I’m not sure if this is a bug or if I’m doing something wrong.

It used to show the vote counts next to the votes. Now, it only shows how I voted. Example:
