Incredible Congressional hearing opportunity here which is to ask Oz if he knows how numbers work. Like, Katie Porter whiteboard stuff: "Ok, if the drug was $100 per month, and it was reduced by 650%, what would the price be?" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Thread: A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee, in a statement announcing its decision to recognize Maria Corina Machado with the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025:

Les réactions des fans au possible engagement de M. McLeod pourraient contraindre les Canes de la Caroline à ne pas l'engager. C'est un très gros oui.

I know music can be subjective, so I will go on and say, the Geese album is terrible. I have seen a lot of glowing reviews - Paste gave it a perfect 10. Most of it is unlistenable junk. So, I know people will like it for that - or to seem cool because of the junk. Or that I just don't get it.

for some reason rufus wainwright's devastating breakup song for the usa comes into my head an awful lot these days, weird going to a town

Apple doesn't want to hurt the Nazis' feelings by airing a show that shows a main character infiltrating hate groups and taking them down. This is where this fucking country is at. I mean Tim Apple Cook does seem to side with the fascists with his pilgrimage and tributes to Trump. #Apple

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

#eagles - how about handing it off to Saquan to score instead of stupid Hurts tush push BS. I'm and Eagles fan and I am friggin' tired of it.

I have a lot of friends that work there. I am so sad about our descent into authoritarianism.

AOC responds to the Tom Homan story.

It's not just the authoritarianism — it's how shameless, how *gleeful* this administration is about it

[Today's track] Strawberry Wine - My Bloody Valentine. Seeds of the shoegaze movement.

This country has gone horrible so quickly. The fascist administration is canonizing this utter racist as a saint. This will not be a free society soon. They are planning at targeting liberal groups. Sad state of affairs in the USA.

I have a Southwest referral link that nets you 100k miles if you spend $4k in 5 months. Gets you close to companion pass. Just need one person to get a card so that I can get enough miles for a trip.

Never before (I think) has a “great power” committed suicide in support of patriarchy, pedophilia, and domestic violence. The misogyny is killing us and no one will benefit.

Some in Congress can’t muster maturity when they have a transgender colleague. But members of the U.S. Armed Forces can—and have. My NDAA amendments repeal Trump’s cruel trans military ban & restore retirement benefits to trans veterans forced out of service.

SCOTUS just legalized racial profiling, and ICE is already denying a person's right to due process — abducting, detaining and deporting whoever they want. This is how white nationalism overthrows a country.
