Richard Uihlein is an owner of Uline, the business supply company. We've talked about their shitty politics for years but they're still at it. Don't buy Uline, kids!

Ironically, moderate defections also mean those who remain are likely to be more extreme, making future moderation even less likely. The process can be analogized to evaporative cooling. www.lesswrong.com/posts/ZQG9cw...

I'm going to spin this a different way: The first adult to be born in this photo, Luckey Roberts, was born in 1887. The last adult in this photo to die, Rollins, died a few hours ago.

At a certain point you just have to conclude sinister motives.

The use of good-fitting respirator masks really does prevent the spread of airborne illnesses. World Mask Week is an occasion to think about adopting this healthy habit, especially in certain settings like healthcare and mass transit. Find out more on our website: covidaction.nz/en/aguidetom...

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

Fed up with tech bros taking things that worked well for me and fucking them up! Looking at you, Google!!!

In 2022, for example, Congress approved $46.5 billion specifically for IRS enforcement, so the agency could start forcing wealthy tax cheats to comply. By March 2025, Republicans had slashed that to just under $4 billion—a 91 percent decrease.

New companies are selling artificial intelligence assistance to mental health therapists. The AI tools can help with administration and recordkeeping, but some patients worry about their privacy. n.pr/42WGtq8

When scholars like myself speak of the genocidal nature of Russia's War against Ukraine, this is part of it. Russia attacks and destroys cultural and historical landmarks of important identity too.

Long after we are all gone, at some point in the far future, when historians are looking back on this time period and the various horrors of the last decade, one of them will stop reading, take a long sip of their coffee, adjust their glasses and whisper "What the fuck is a labubu?"

Vimes is deeply aware of ACAB, and would totally include himself within that, as a bastard - mostly a bastard that does the right(ish) thing, but always with the lurking danger of screwing up or becoming a bad bastard

Kenneth Grahame didn't live to see the E.H. Shepard illustrations published. But prior to his death, Shepard showed him a few examples, prompting Grahame to remark, "I'm glad you made them real." 🥹

I have been thinking a lot about the dozens of people ICE has sent to what is now the Ebola outbreak zone, especially Adriana Zapata, and I really appreciate @melodyschreiber.com reporting this out. 🙏🙏🙏

iNews UK: 'My husband’s care costs have reached £65,000 – we’ve had to sell our flat' '...James’ condition worsened. By 2023 he was completely bed bound and had also developed very severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)' inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

Wizards, good ones at least, have usually mastered a vast corpus of magical knowledge through years of study and practice, while these technobs only seem to know one weird trick - turning puffery into dollars - and its magical power is wearing off.

Please, if you "can't afford to get sick", or if you are immunocompromised (e.g. an HIV or cancer patient)... Don't put on a surgical mask. Put on a well-fitted n95. Or, even better, an n99, n100, p100, or ffp3. It is MUCH better. You will be MUCH safer.

That’s the thing…you don’t get to control what the science is just because you don’t like it. If the vast vast majority of medical professionals and medical science see this as a successful medical treatment for individuals who want it…it doesn’t matter if YOU don’t get it.

Tens of millions of people around the world are in this situation, & most with far fewer privileges than the “best case scenario.” Myalgic Encephalomyelitis rates increased 15x due to Covid. When the government says Covid is mild, remember they’re not footing the bill.

Imagine you & your spouse both have good jobs, you’re saving money for retirement, doing all the “right” things. Now suddenly you only have half an income, you have to pay thousands for doctors & meds, plus £3,500 a month for care, while ALSO having to be a caregiver in any hours you’re not working.

Time is the *primary* currency and always has been. Big Dollar just wants you to think otherwise. Feminist views of domestic labor, crip phenomenologies, and post-colonial/anti-capitalist critiques all re-center time. At the end of our life, people have regrets for losing time, not dollars.
