Beef or Disco, a not-cis cracker

I’m a dumbass and didn’t realize Ang was on here too. Please help them get the life-saving treatment and shelter they need and deserve!

Kinda feels like if someone being investigated on rape charges says they don’t “owe” someone they had sex with the truth about what happened to them, they should maybe lose the presumption of innocence. Everybody at least deserves to know what was done to them sexually.

Expensive goods changing hands without consideration is one of those blaring lights you look for when investigating public corruption. It means the giver is expecting something other than money from the receiver.

they’re gonna hog all the hospital beds

WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding. He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Weretober2026 approaches… 🐺🌕

little bit of a tangent: i once had a department chair who physically threatened me because the graduate student he was having an affair with was struggling in my class. i ended up resigning a few months later. so dating a student can have far-reaching consequences beyond the abuse of the student.

too many guys are bad-weird now, we need more with this kind of good-weird energy

This would be a good show for anybody who wants to get into Thai BL… it is on a pay service but c’mon. C’moooooon. (Alternately, there are more appearing on Netflix in the US now! Idk about other English-speaking countries for sure but check into it.

I have to say that James was awesome this week. The scene on the bathtub? 🤌🏻 Our beautiful Psycho. #MrFanboy

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

Attacks on trans rights are attacks on bodily autonomy If you truly have trouble wrapping your head around the problem: Take a moment to consider that anything anti-trans is telling us that people can be told legally by their government that they have no control over their own bodies 

Auau and Save and basically everybody are killing it on Mr. Fanboy, and from a series I kind of thought was gonna be more lighthearted and casual I am impressed! #MrFanboy

besides if medicaid isnt getting enough tax revenue raise the fucking taxes before you foreclose on anyone maybe look into estate tax

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

It amazes me that there are multiple government-run financial websites that I have had to use that have hours set like they’re in a brick and mortar store, as though they don’t understand that information submitted at 2am would still be available to them at 6am and not just escape into the web.

Now why did CBS's chief legal correspondent think it would be fine to tweet some rank Islamophobia? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/o...

a vertical drama just censored the word “freak” after not censoring “fag” and while I kinda hate the way “freak” is used by a lot of people… what???

This goes a long way to explaining why US hotel rates rose *58%* from a 2020 average of $103/night to a 2025 average of $162/night. It explains why hotel prices rose by 5% *last year*, which is *double* the rate of inflation.

But to *really* stay in business on Expedia, hotels have to use the VIP program, which is even *more* expensive. And - one more time - hotels in the VIP program have to jack up their prices *everywhere else, INDEFINITELY*.

Let me repeat that: to stay in business, hotels need to be on Expedia. To stay in business on Expedia, hotels have to raise their prices to pay Expedia's junk fees, but they have to raise their prices everywhere else.

That's because Expedia requires hotels in its VIP listings programs to *raise their prices on non-Expedia sites by 10-25%...INDEFINITELY.*

Practically speaking, hotels *have* to pay for this, because it boosts booking rates by 42% (the first ten results on an Expedia search-results page get 62% of the clicks). VIP listing is expensive for the merchant - but it's even more expensive for you and me.

Expedia's position, in other words, is basically Amazon's position, so Expedia is doing exactly what Amazon is doing: they charge huge fees to hotels, and then force the hotels to raise their prices everywhere through a "most favored nation" deal: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

That's what happened with Expedia. Almost every travel site you can find online has been purchased by Expedia (Hotels.com, Travelocity, and Orbitz), and the ones that aren't Expedia subsidiaries were acquired by its main rival, Priceline (Booking.com, Kayak, Agoda and even Opentable).

Amazon doesn't mind if prices go up, so long as Amazon's price remains competitive. So Amazon imposes a requirement on its suppliers called "most favored nation," which requires sellers to offer their best price on Amazon: pluralistic.net/2026/02/25/m...

For merchants, that is an *incredibly* expensive proposition: 51-60% of every dollar you spend with an independent merchant on Amazon is claimed by Amazon through junk fees, listing fees, commissions, processing fees and other scams: pluralistic.net/2026/09/04/c...

This has only been accelerated by America's precipitous slide into oligarchy, which has exhausted the savings *and* the credit-card limits *and* the home equity of the majority of Americans, who increasingly can't afford to buy anything: dreamagainusa.org

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.

Here's Amazon's sleaziest commercial practice: when you search Amazon, the top results for your search aren't the best matches for your queries; they're products sold by the companies willing to pay the most for search placement, in a "real-time auction" that runs every time you search.
