If you saw the Hims & Hers Super Bowl ad about their “life-changing” approach to fixing American obesity and "the system," you should know they're actually just a compounding pharmacy selling non-FDA-approved mixes of weight-loss drugs - basically the apex of health care capitalism, warts and all

To understand the faction leading America, recognize they think the worst, most terrifying things to happen in recent years are: 1) George Floyd protests 2) Public health treating COVID as real 3) HR saying "we've received complaints about your, um, 'jokes'" 4) Press 1 for English 5) Pronouns in bio

We’re not far away from the moment when a prominent White conservative says the ‘n’ word in public, and then refuses to apologize and is actually celebrated in right-wing media and defended by Republican politicians.

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Let me get this straight. Petro calls for dignified transit. Trump threatens tariffs. Petro smacks Trump in a post threatening his own higher tariffs. And Trump agrees to what Petro asked for. And yet NYT is calling this Petro backing down?

Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years

Trump just blamed immigrants, trans people, and the "woke" for destroying America, but the truth is, it’s the oligarchs and power-hungry politicians standing beside him on that stage who have destroyed America

If you're thinking of using TurboTax but you can't get your taxes done there for free, I recommend FreeTaxUSA.com If you do have to pay for portions of it, it's MUCH cheaper & has everything TurboTax has & more (live help, etc) for a fraction of the cost. This isn't an ad, nobody paid me 4 this ❤️

I have been wondering why US leftists and liberals alike are so terrible at long term strategy lately. Then I remembered that we’re in this predicament because neither camp listens to Black people or respects our history in this country beyond lip service. Abolition & civil rights took centuries.

If you subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal, the 40% price increase is a con to upsell you AI. Your old plan and price is still there called "Classic" - but only if you try to cancel. Microsoft should be ashamed if not prosecuted.

Agree with this. One of my former employers talked about the concept of "F- You!" money. Enough that you could do or say whatever you wanted, and not put up with intolerable or morally compromising situations. The likes of Bezos, Musk, Thiel, Zuck have 1000x that much money. And yet...
