there are essentially two prices for medications in america: 1) $5 per month or 2) $500 a week thankfully my new med is type 1

another example of why taxing the rich, especially these two losers, is a necessary alternative to letting them coast on these small scale, ephemeral pet projects of performative philanthropy

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

we gotta put a stop to Needle visualizations

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Excuse me, what did you just say? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY??? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

And @reactorsff.bsky.social (re)publishes my shortish rant about Gondorian taxes...

remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights, and he was a white man from Britain who started writing Discworld in the 80s nobody else has any excuse

We have the drunken scapegoat

today is trans day of visibility, and it breaks my heart to see the way the world is trying to turn these wonderful people invisible I am not trans, but the reason I have a voice on this platform is trans people, because they welcomed me and got me to stop lurking the way I did on twitter

Conversion therapy is a dangerous, long-discredited practice. SCOTUS got this wrong, and LGBTQ+ kids will have to pay the price. Know that Massachusetts' ban on conversion therapy is still in place. We'll stand firm to keep our state a place where our LGBTQ+ community can live without fear.

if the Supreme Court had not previously ruled "the president is a king who can do whatever he wants so long as it triggers libs" I might agree with this but there is no ideological consistency. we are ruled by six christofascists who will let the dog play basketball as it suits them

"the secretary of defense did insider trading on a war he was about to start" what the fuck are we doing here, honestly

Democratic voters: “Please, just oppose Republicans. That’s all we want. Stop the fascism.” Democratic politicians: “What if we make you upload your government ID to read websites?” Worse than worthless.

GOOD.

Shortly before Trump announced that the U.S. and Iran were engaged in talks about a “COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST,” roughly 6,000 oil-trading contracts, worth more than half a billion dollars, changed hands. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/PsEOdm

This iron age man buried in Sussex was so proud of his awesome helmet that he developed an archaeologically detectable neck injury from wearing it so often.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Facebook's "Metaverse" has to be the biggest boondoggle that had almost no real-world effect. Zuck pissed away $70B to make an VR MMO that had fewer monthly active users than Second Life (now into its third decade). Its existence and coming shutdown haven't affected basically anyone.

Who needs soap operas when you have grackles around?

全米各地で「反トランプ」抗議デモ　移民摘発とイラン攻撃批判 www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQO... 「NO KINGS（王はいらない）」 2025年1月のトランプ氏の2期目就任以降、同様のデモは3度目に。 ミネソタ州ではロック界の大御所、ブルース・スプリングスティーンさんと集まった人たちが「ICE（移民・税関捜査局）を追い出せ」と叫びました。 #ニュース

In 2001, NTT Docomo was the first in the world to offer 3G. On March 31, the carrier cuts off the signal to 500,000 users — the last of their kind in Japan — for good.

protesting in this outfit is a real “heads I win, tails you lose” moment when it comes to the optics

google doesn't actually sell your data to third parties (why would they? it's valuable! they're much better off being the broker who lets people target things *based* on that data. there's all sorts of other privacy reasons to be critical of google, but "selling your data" is not one of them)

there's also something so weird about this idea that what appeals to, say, someone in Baltimore won't appeal to say, someone in Detroit. like, every state has a few major cities, and those cities have more in common *with each other* than they do with their neighboring rural areas

Hard to find a better headline to capture the state of things

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

this is the hyperlocal content i follow Chris for

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

I’ve never seen a picture of a chicken go harder than this

on my first scan of this post, i thought "big naturals" was gonna refer to like, Mersenne primes or Ackermann numbers or something like that

"Webinar: See How MrBeast Uses Slack" i don't think it's physically possible for me to be *less* interested in a webinar than this

Our new title, Indie Game Works, explores 50 visionary independent titles including Cairn, Tunic, GRIS, Valheim, DREDGE, 1000xRESIST, Genesis Noir, Abzû and A Short Hike, among many others, bringing together in-game imagery, development artwork, and early sketch material.

These critical airborne radar aircraft haven't been made since 1992, and the U.S. only has 16 of them remaining. Presumably 15 now, if this one was damaged enough.

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

Cities do not really have democratic control over their own police departments and Dem politicians nervously pretend like they don’t notice this.

I've finally almost gotten used to the "new" Google Authenticator logo, which means it must be about time for some PM / UX person to be designing a new one.

The hacks working furiously to rationalize Trump’s desire to end birthright citizenship serve very much the same function in law that the Discovery Institute does in biology: To create the illusion of a scholarly debate that in fact does not exist.
