Love that Bank of America does everything they can to discourage principal-only loan payments so they can charge the maximum interest possible. It's refreshing when big corporations are as unsophisticated in their fuckery as payday loan predators.

lol wut Nobody can be this credulous. Not for real. Greene is not in any sense "standing for liberal democracy," and it's not agreement about "policy preferences" that makes her repugnant, it's her intent to challenge the right of people I love to exist at all that makes her my enemy. Holy shit.

Enough.

Good morning!

No, it's not.

I'm skeptical when communities declare an end to homelessness. There's a lot of follow through and ongoing investments required to sustain what we call "functional zero," which means having sufficient housing resources (staff, services, and units) to address inflow. But this is encouraging.

Why do newspaper's keep calling Jeffrey Epstein a "disgraced financier?" Pretty sure he was neither of those things. He raped young girls and he stole all of his wealth. We should be accurate in how we describe terrible people.

The power in a democracy comes from the people. Saying that those people are nothing but ciphers into which politicians must pour intention is ridiculous. The stakes in this past election could not have been clearer. We knew what we were getting, either way. Americans chose the fascist. They own it.

Hello, New Followers! Almost all of you are art lovers & readers. Some of you probably know that I’m a professional cover artist for a lot of major SFF + horror books over the last 30 years. Many of you who just followed me are Trekkies & Trekkers. Yup, I’ve drawn some Trek covers over the years. 1/

This dude does not respect boundaries.

Guys, I don't think the term "racist" is really hitting the people who need to hear it. I think it just causes them to double down on their fuckery. I move that we refer to them with terms that will hurt them, like "unaccomplished," or "mediocre." 1/2

This is outstanding, and I wish this dude was here on Bluesky, because I don't do TikTok. And to add to this, representation in medicine also means culturally competent care at Veterans Affairs, which produces far better outcomes for Veterans than the private sector.

The For You feed is going to be down while I'm upgrading the CPU from AMD 7900 (12 core) to AMD 9950X3D (16 core). This should increase how many users it can serve by ~50%-100%. If all goes well it should be back up in an hour or two.

I shot a lot of 3s when I was in high school. Never in a game, mind, but still. That's why I'm going to hold forth on what it takes to shoot 3s in an NBA game. Because I wanted to do that, but never did. That's how Will Stancil sounds when he talks about winning elections, which he has never done.

Ran my queries so I could work my OT now instead of after I wake up and this is how I found out that my servers are on fkn Pacific time because I index all clinical documentation to Friday of last week. So I have to fun them again later on today. Lesson learned.

Way too many days off vibe.

Is this what Castiel meant by "ass butt."

I and the other nine colleagues in my program office have over 20+ years of federal experience each. Elon Musk's idiot DOGE interlopers came into the VA and overrode us dozens of times and now we're struggling to keep his piss poor choices from hurting Veterans.

I used to think Taibbi was a hell of a journalist. I wonder if it was a grift the whole time, or if he lost his goddamned mind later in his career.

Seventh in assist and first in affordable housing units. Westbrook is a GOAT-level mensch on an off the court.

If Scott were a professor in Oklahoma, this would be grounds for administrative removal.

Oh, neat. We've come full circle back to a debate about verisimilitude vs. consolation in fiction China Mieville won in 2003. The passage of time is an illusion.

Here’s what getting absolutely dog walked taught me about winning an election 👇

My favorite thing about all the "centrists" opining on how ineffective and stupid mutual aid is is that the Overton Window has been yanked so far right that these dudes are more Republican than Reagan was.

Something I learned a long time ago is to never Google weird terms I see in a Nazi post trying to intellectualize their racial grievances. Just block and go take a shower.

Yeah, @kweencassie.bsky.social

The VA is the best care I've ever gotten, which isn't surprising since literally anything Elon Musk is diametrically opposed to the truth, in my experience.

Banks that hold onto any extra payment you make on a loan instead of applying it to principal should be stripped of their charter and liquidated. They're basically banking your money for themselves and continuing to charge the full interest on principal you paid off.

What's crazy about this [everything is crazy about this] is that I've had an Acrobat Pro license as part of my federal job since 2009 and nobody has ever tried to take it from me.

Dude got 36% in a Minnesota House race. Why do we listen to people like this about literally anything?

Imagine being Stephen Miller's second-generation American parents and hearing him say that the children of immigrants are dogshit.

Can't help but think Netflix would get fined in the EU for this bullshit.

I told Tina that I was staying up late, tonight. I believe I may have overstated the case.

"Hit like if you agree-"

So...I seriously need to get a hobby or something. I couldn't resist logging onto my work computer to run my reports because that's more fun than sitting around watching tv and eating junk.

Hey. It's Christmas. We all deserve a break from all that. Let's not talk about him. Or him. Or *him*. And especially not her.

Let's all remember how Mark Cuban got his start with a chain letter scam and then screwed over the real inventor of his first internet startup, shall we?

Dunno, man. No offense intended, but I don't think that many people here care enough about you to muster up any real hate. Mostly you're just cringy and often caught speaking ignorantly on subjects in which there are many experts here to see and rebut.

Mood.

When I was a technical writer for the Indian Health Service, a Navajo civil engineer I worked with taught me how to say "Merry Christmas," but I didn't tell me how to spell it. Google AI assures me it's "Ya'át'ééh Késhmish." Anyways, happy holidays, y'all.

A billionaire so needy, he has to do shit like this. Brother, just do the good thing and savor the knowledge you made a difference. This is just sad.

"The televised broadcast presented a pared-down version of Trump’s opening remarks, cutting his introduction from about 12 minutes live to two minutes for viewers at home — and leaving out several of his looser jokes, including a reference to the laughing audience as ‘miserable, horrible people.'"

She really thinks she can talk her way into looking reasonable. People don't trust the media because billionaires own it and install amoral famewhores like Bari Weiss to ensure our information is rightthink.

Haunted trending bar.

People who say that money can't buy happiness have never had to choose to eat instant ramen so their kids could have vegetables and meat.

People chiding lefties for not embracing righwingers who are now admitting that Trump is an addlepated Nazi can suck it. Those people didn't just ignore our warnings, they reveled in mocking us. Remember the "your body, my choice" douchebros? They and their ilk stay on the outside, now and forever.

Just going to say, you do not have to give Laura Loomer credit. Not now. Not ever.

Hot take: New England clam chowder in Boston was indistinguishable from Campbell's Chunky, except we paid like 10 times more for it.

Been thinking a lot about Bill Clinton calling for the full release of the Epstein Files. I think before we lionize him or assume that the files must exonerate him, it's very feasible that he did very bad things *and* doesn't think he did anything wrong. A lot of our leaders are psychopaths, guys.

"Veterans voted for this and so they deserve what they get." Maybe not the best look telling the only demographic in America who did service to *earn* their right to vote how they should use it. Veterans lean right. The majority of them vote R by reflex. You still owe them for their service.
