One of Musk’s DOGE employees was apparently a user on KiwiFarms, a hate website that existed almost solely to bully/harass minorities into suicide. Think of the worst person on 4Chan, working with 16K other equally awful people to ruin lives. That’s who’s in charge. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah @regenceutah.bsky.social is still denying coverage for a life-saving oncologist-prescribed FDA-approved cancer drug, Perjeta, for my wife Raven's breast cancer treatment. And I will post about it every single day until it is covered. Every. Single. Day.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers. www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/g...

Alt text is not the same as a photo caption. Captions are typically written to support a photo, and usually depend on users being able to see the photo. But alt text is meant to be the stand-in for the photo. The alt text is what a screen reader user gets in place of the photo.

Historically, it seems pretty common that the billionaire class instigates a culture war to avoid a class war. But with 14 billionaires and counting in Trump’s administration, it’s going to be difficult to ignore.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

My husband just randomly text me asking if I was busy and if he could bring me something. He brought me a “brrr basket.” The HVAC in my office has been wack, and it’s below freezing. He wanted to so he did. 🥹 #Love #Married #Cute

You don’t get a medal for not being a terrible person. Even EXPECTING acknowledgement for NOT treating people badly is signs of a flawed psyche and poor character Because you are hyperaware of your privilege and you not only want to use it but you’ve found a way to wield COMPASSION as a weapon too

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

With RFK Jr's, nomination to lead HHS, it makes perfect sense: It’s as if Trump is poised to turn over control of our vital health and medical agencies to a clown car full of unqualified quacks.

My primary concern isn’t about personal costs but rather about corporations abandoning their ethical sourcing commitments, leading to increased reliance on exploitative labor practices for higher profits.

A classic tactic of authoritarian intimidation. Made even worse by the second-order effects it will have on other federal employees, who will quit or avoid controversy to avoid being targeted. edition.cnn.com/2024/11/27/b...

The issue with Walmart isn’t DEI, it’s the fact that in nine states alone, Walmart had 14,500 employees on SNAP and 10,350 on Medicaid. Instead of attacking corporations for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, people should be calling out the low wages.

Them: “What’s this mental health crisis all about? Why are suicide rates the way they are?” Me: “One factor is the vast unidentified Autistic population that is at a >9x higher risk of death by suicide at a minimum!” Also them: “You don’t look Autistic. Probably a bunch of dramatic lazy fucks.” 🫠

Advocacy isn't about comfort—it's about challenging those who uphold failing systems. Real change doesn’t come from polite tea breaks and back pats. It comes from disrupting the status quo and holding power accountable. Advocacy exists because the world still needs it.

Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats “I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me. www.ft.com/content/bfb4...
