I just checked my 2026 #ACA healthcare insurance premium. It’s now $2,773 per month. Super high deductible and max out of pocket. $33,276 per year. This is insane. Only an #oligarch can afford this.

While air travel is paralyzed for average Americans, the oligarchs keep traveling in their private jets.

Republicans cannot govern.😒

I saved this from 2022, because it's worth seeing again.

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

Ok, I know, but this is pretty funny. youtu.be/sbaA5L0hsY4?...

Anyone else watch #Hulu? Trying to get away from oligarch TV. Trying Hulu. Man, it sucks! It’s $90 for ads plastered everywhere.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

You’re not here to compete. You’re here to contribute.

If you care about hungry families, here’s a Halloween tip. Try goody bags with ramen, dry milk packets, a fast food gift card, and one solid candy bar. Also, look for local clothing programs that sell items cheap and give them free if someone can’t pay. Practical help matters. #ProudBlue

When cats are confused by or upset about something, they just smack the shit out of whatever it is that's frustrating them and I think that's beautiful.

Bury the fucking power lines! It's not that hard! It removes the risk of falling trees and it makes the place look better as well. Nobody likes seeing them.

MAGA Make Argentina Great Again!

I hope somebody shows up to a Halloween party with the Crown Jewels on

Another amazing cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social.

Is EVERYONE EXCITED about the “Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom and Massage Parlor?”

Updating my LEGO White House

I work with a lot of college age kids. Sometimes I don't even know where to start explaining stuff that was universal when I was their age. I was about to explain where the term 'bogart' came from, and I stopped myself because I didn't know if any of them knew who Humphrey Bogart was.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

#Seattle deludes itself into wishing it were a baseball town. But it’s not. It lacks the grit of a baseball town. #Toronto has it. #MLB #Mariners #BlueJays

This would be great for a variety of reasons. But very few will participate. Americans are addicted to buying crap and have zero capacity for suffering even the tiniest discomfort. Sure they can do a pointless protest where they make TikTok dance videos. But give up iPhone 17 - no way!

If wealth is the incentive then the activity is wrong. People should be doing things for the betterment of humanity, or for curiosity, for enjoyment. Not for gaining differential advantage over one another. If all our material needs were met, what incentive would excess wealth be?

hang this in the louvre (there's room now)

Wow! My hometown. #NoKings

A sign in Colchester city centre.

The grayification of the world will go down as one of history's greatest follies.

Another good one.

Instead of media vs coaches basketball games we need media vs media. (For each city. Like Knicks media vs Celtics media, etc.) This could replace the NBA Cup on Amazon.

They're so fucking weak. Covered from head to toe in combat gear, like they're patrolling Afghanistan, and they still feel threatened by a guy dressed in a costume singing hurty words. Pathetic. Hope he doesn't get roughed up.

I don't know much about love, but I do know "buy one, get one for $1" by heart.
