I have such a hard time building new habits. It's like the second I skip one day the whole thing isn't worth it anymore so I lose all momentum. Anyway, done is better than perfect, it ain't that big a deal, and I can just. Wear my fancy sunscreen tomorrow morning again.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Millions of conservatives believe that most US cities literally burned to the ground five years ago and there’s no convincing them otherwise, because they’ll never go visit.

I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout. I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

medical debt is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.

NPR@npr.org

Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.

"But Dave, *how* do they win in this info environment?" I don't know! The right spent decades patiently building institutions, patiently buying up properties, patiently eroding the public's trust in real journalism. Fighting back against that -- starting 50 years too late -- is going to be tough.

Done. Super easy. You do not have to fill out a category. You can submit anonymously. Fight for your right to vaccinations. Vaccinations are a miracle of science, and that it is being passed off as more dangerous than the diseases it prevents is completely idiotic and bad science.

“There is a loneliness epidemic among men” have they tried not devoting their entire identity to hating women and everything feminine? Might help.

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social

Darkly amusing that every pencil-neck conservative chud decided the only way to not be gay is to avoid all women and anything to do with women and hyperfixate on gaining constant approval from their image of the ideal man, who appears to be a non-verbal emotionally stunted cowboy built like He-Man.

Democrats shrink the federal deficit and Republicans explode it and the entire media apparatus tells the exact opposite story, and now a bunch of vultures who have only ever robbed us and left us bleeding by the side of the road enjoy comfortable leads in most public opinion polls on the economy.

40 years ago today, Philadelphia police bombed a neighborhood killing 11 Black people, including 5 Black children. The only person who went to prison was Ramona Africa, a Black woman who survived the bombing. Chances are this is the first you've heard about it. www.qasimrashid.com/p/today-mark...

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography. The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards. dailycaller.com/2025/05/08/n...

Fundamental problem is that comfortable, white Americans can never, ever imagine shit getting bad. This is exactly the same problem with climate change. Everything has to end up ok because others is literally unimaginable.

I'd like more people to realize that we going to have to craft solutions without the support of people who want the problems; working without seeking their permission makes the job far easier; wasting time seeking their approval only reinforces their self-appointment to Certified Solution Approver.

The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.
