I don't buy the premise.

they always act like this is some gotcha for the left but "everyone should be able to use the same good stuff instead of having two totally seperate tiers of society based on wealth" is the whole fuckin point of the left!

Do you think the NYT ever gets tired of being a voice for the worst people you’ve ever heard of in your entire life or

Weird day for the flat earthers. I haven’t checked in on them but it’s gotta be all hands on deck over there huh??

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

Remember kids: means testing is for smug busybodies and jackasses who want to waste money punishing people for being poor!

Hot take but I think things that remind us of our place in the universe are good, actually

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

I need a word that means “I did not have this information and it came on suddenly but it absolutely fits with the established pattern” I’m not surprised, I’m… something.

I’m about to start a new batch so there will be more soon, but there is ONE yarn-mane unicorn left! Any color requests for round two? The rainbow mane was pretty popular so more of that one for sure, but any combos in particular?? #bsnm measuredandslow.squarespace.com/shop/vk4x003...

Last summer my husband bought a “100% cotton” bandana, and the minute I felt it it I told him it was, in fact, polyester. My fingers know what cotton feels like because my fingers have spent the better part of two decades doing “grunt work”. What an appalling lack of care for the process of becoming

Means testing costs money and burdens clients as well as service providers. It's the red tape conservatives claim to hate. Excluding the rich makes the service feels like charity to those who qualify, and it ensures that those who don't qualify have no stake in protecting the program.

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

I cannot escape the sense that the reason people get more “well, hmm” about this is that deep down, they’re not sure child care should be encouraged, which really comes down to a sense that a parent should stay home, by which they mean a mother, and I’m not walking that road.

The means-testing thing is so pernicious man. Designed in a lab to sow resentment, degrade the public good, shrink services and transfer costs away from government coffers and to individuals’ post-tax income

We gotta be real about this sentiment, it’s driven by concern-trolling rich people. They are fine with paying for their own child care and don’t want to pay taxes for poorer people to get child care either

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

"oh so you're a socialist but you think rich people should get free healthcare!?!" yes. everyone should get free healthcare. EVERYONE. like, this isn't hard. also celebrities are starting gofundmes and athletes coming out of retirement to get health care! this system sucks for everyone!

Nobody ever wants to admit that it’s cheaper in the end, too. Means testing costs a fuckload of money!!!

Every time I accidentally get on BirkinTok I get jealous of the evil marketing genius that thought that up. It’s like the Virgin Mary of retail, a grift that strong will never work for any of us again

All safety laws are written in blood and I don’t know why we have to keep finding this out personally before we believe it

Finished This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me and immediately started it again, which I think is a new one for me. I can’t remember ever doing that but I knew I’d missed SO many little things and I wanted to pick them up. The audiobook is 21 hours long and I still have questions??

Every single time there’s a big “the girls are fighting” thing going on I finally see a picture of the man and he looks like if a rat and the concept of new wave had a baby and then that baby is afraid of showering. What are we doing. What’s going on.

Your wife is standard, my wife is awkwardly using the thera-gun for non-standard purposes and I just walked in on her (what’s happening with that leg, in all seriousness 😭)

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine. They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal. A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

I leaned over to measure something on the loom and found my braid captured so I would stay in prime nuzzle position 😭😂

I remember the weird in your face push of NFTs before their whole industry collapsed. I remember it because it was these same people doing this same shit four years ago.

tulsi gabbard stares at linda mcmahon linda mcmahon stares back let them fight.

A man stands, staring in shock at the price on a gas pump. "But...but...I'm not political," the man says to the pump. "This shouldn't affect me." The price does not change. "I'm NOT one of those POLITICAL types!" he screams. The pump does not respond. The price does not change.

Made myself a warping board! Where will I store it? Idk that’s a problem for several hours from now lol. The Kitty Inspectors have throughly sniffed it and pronounced it “probably not food” so once my yarn gets here later today we’re off ☺️🧶 #weaving

Can’t wait for another round of “oh actually this job CAN be done from a computer when the economy demands it but not when that accommodation helps employ disabled people”. It was so healthy for my psyche the first time around

We’re at teen art club again 😎

Good morning, the little bees are up on MakerWorld, if you want to make your own! makerworld.com/en/@measured...

I think about this tweet every time I do laundry

In space no one can hear you Teams.

WIRED has identified several BORTAC and BORSTAR agents involved in immigration sweeps whose backgrounds include domestic violence, sexual assault, use of force, and expressed racism and hate speech online.

The fact they’re going to get the most obvious thing about the Constitution right by a 7-2 vote doesn’t change the fact that the Wizards In Robes have shown a level of disdain for us & the Constitution, & a level of chutzpah about their personal importance, that we don’t need to tolerate anymore.

The way they absolutely fucking missed the point of a “joke” is almost art tbh. ALMOST

You cannot claim aspects of the social contract that you refused to adhere to for others.

How did we end up with a culture of people bragging about being planet-boilingly bad at their jobs Like do people genuinely not feel shame any more BRING BACK SHAME

I don't know about you, but it feels like AI proponents are getting off lightly with the level of scorn directed at them, all things considered. They've earned so much worse. Frankly, I'd like to see Sam Altman criminally liable for the deaths his chatbots caused. As a start.

I've laughed waaaaaay more at this than I should have.

These subject area experts are saying one thing but this toddler with a handgun is saying the opposite much louder. Who are we to say who’s right.

The kids were up early making spaceships out of legos, and this is why I think we should go to the moon. Not to colonize, not to mine or whatever the fuck, but because thousands of kids saw a rocket launch into the air yesterday and decided science is very cool

i'm so sorry we've sent these souls to the moon and they're using outlook?

RIP Trek Twitter. You made me who I am today.
