They’re going to use our deposits to buy crypto and then they won’t have our money when we go to take it out. Sounds like a wonderful plan.

This is one of the better articles I've read for pointing people to productive avenues. If you are like me and are prone to doomspiraling, having resources like this are invaluable to stay grounded, stay useful, and keep pushing back.

The apprentice is now the master.

Finding out Charles Vane's backstory in Black Sails. I'd been confused about a moment earlier in the season where he's asking Eleanor for leads and he looks like a little schoolboy being lectured by the teacher. And then it all made sense.

very helpful to democrats that one of the most unpopular people in american politics is front in center in the administration, allowing them to make the very easy case that you should vote for democrats to check elon musk.

Anyone tries to tell you trans people aren’t really trans, think of this girl. To be herself, she turned her back on a level of wealth that is incomprehensible to any of us. Her descendants would have had money for as long as there is money. Yes, there’s more to life, but that’s a hell of a thing.

Trying to speed run therapy because hyperfixating on psychology stuff is more interesting than work

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

CDC data shows the flu vaccine, on average, saves more than 5,000 lives per year. So yes, the RFK, Jr. and the Trump administration are planning mass murder.

Again, Jews were less than 1% of the German population in 1933.

Re-reading 17776 and 20020 in honor of Super Bowl Sunday. (I don't care about football at all. You should read it just because it's that good) www.sbnation.com/a/17776-foot...

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

This has got to be the best unsubscribe message I've ever read.

Things I have done today to avoid working: - bought a new cell phone - drafted an email to my therapist - played dumb games on my phone - looked up panama canal memorandum of understanding - browsed r/getmotivated - paced around my room being mindful of how I was not working - filed expense report

Lynch was a saint cloaked as a transgressor in a world full of transgressors cloaked as saints.

I present to you the TRUE story of the Minnesota State Flag.
