If you repeat the phrase "Medicaid work requirements" β€” even if you think you're being clever with something like "medicaid work requirements don't work" β€” you're helping MAGA destroy Medicaid. Don't repeat their disinformation frame. Instead, reframe: Medicaid Job Loss Penalty

You receive a call on your phone. The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment. "Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right? The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank." 🧡 1/4

Scientists have created a broadly effective antivenom using the blood of a Wisconsin man who has spent years exposing himself to deadly snakebites from black mambas, taipans, cobras and many others.

Let me get this straight: money to research children's cancer is a waste, but spending 92 million on a military parade for a draft dodger felon is not.

I have such goldfish memory I drew JC and by the time I started coloring Huaisang I've already forgotten how I did it hhhhhhh - #art #mdzs #sangcheng

β€œI asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have left Houston, Tampa, New York and other major cities without head meteorologists just ahead of what will be another busy hurricane season This is straight-up life-threatening malpractice (h/t @lisamjarvis.bsky.social ) www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents. I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

Which federal crime did the President commit with this statement? Was it 26 usc 7217, which prohibits the President or his aides from directing any tax enforcement action? Or was it 26 usc 6103, which prohibits any government official from disclosing an ongoing tax proceeding? Maybe both!

Gosh, it's all go today. The Duke at Hazard is ON SALE. 99p for the ebook, get it while it's cheap!

This is impoundment, it is illegal, and that should be in the headline www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n...

Just got warned that the new "Voice Isolation" feature in Teams, if turned on and trained on a male voice, will filter out all the women in the room, while still allowing the men in the room to be heard online. *clears throat* IF YOU USE A BIASED TRAINING SET, YOUR TECHNOLOGY WILL BE BIASED.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

We have entered the portion of the summer where the light wakes me up Too Fuckin Early and I hate it 😭 Time to start using my sleep mask again...

Just reading up on the calamitous Pope Francis kerning scandal.

Pedestrians who are hit by SUVs are 44% more likely to be killed than if they were hit by a conventional car, new study finds. Children are 82% more likely to die when hit by an SUV than by a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130% higher. Regulate vehicle size now.

People like to buy themselves out of solutions when the correct answer is call your legislators and ask them if they or their children (if they have them) want to die from a food borne illness and if not to get the fda and usda back to proper staffing levels

We heard you like Crystal Gremlin. We happen to be fans of Crystal Gremlin ourselves.  Here's some of the earlier concept art of this lil guy. No thoughts, only ✨ vibes. ✨

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

the entire point of the piece (and the related book) you're replying to and didn't read is that your great-grandparents were eating formaldehyde milk and gypsum flour and arsenic jam because there were no food safety laws. Keeping food safe is a society's job, not an individual's!!!

File this under "TheBus is cooler than your bus": Our busses have a "shaka" switch. When you're nice and let the bus pull into your lane in front of you, the driver hits the switch and the back sign panel throws a shaka then says 'Mahalo.' www.honolulumagazine.com/a-21st-centu...

went to a little restaurant and was gobsmacked at how good and authentic their noodles tasted before i left i had an internal dialogue about whether i should approach them to tell them what i thought fell back on my philosophy that it's best to always share the nice thought 1/

So-called sore loser laws, on the books in all but three states, are rationalized as a way to bolster political parties, limit confusion and prevent vote-splitting. But they curb voter choice and discourage candidates who could assemble cross-party coalitions. [Eli Lehrer, @rstreet.bsky.social]
