I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves. As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

I realized though that horror movies in the last decade or so have come to focus on uncomfortable horror more than outright evil. About the dangers of going with the flow and not saying "no" soon enough. I kinda like that, and find it interesting.

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

Quick little health-related thread: There are measles outbreaks happening in the US & Canada because of pockets of very low vaccination rates. I wondered if maybe I might need an update to my vaccines. I got them in the usual way as a kid, but sometimes immunity doesn’t last. So I asked my doctor.

Trump has no clue what he’s saying at any moment and is literally and constantly just responding to anything that happens with what he’s feeling at the moment — and yet this is what we, and the world, have to deal with right now. This is really not sustainable.

Trump is right now railing against inflation... while his own policies and tariffs send the costs of everyday goods skyrocketing even without the global phenomenon of inflation.
