Graphs that explain why you and everyone you know are exhausted. To be in the top 1% an individual has to have $11.6 mn in networth. To be in the top 50%, the net worth is $585,000. My net worth is barely above negative. I'm doing good compared to my friends & family. Link in the comments

Update: I call bullshit. This was a test run to see if they could get away with starving people. Its also part of the attention diversion, emotional waste land, to drain us. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/h...

Removing access to food -- regardless of how temporary -- is cruel. So much for the "pro-life" voters.

I often wondered what vote suppression looks like when one isnt a white, cis female. The Hartmann Report shows how voter suppression is built into the system, along with its acceleration in the 2024 campaign. I'm disgusted how the voices of BIPOC are eliminated hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost...

...which means I'm about 2 yearrs away from crossing the 1 million pages marker. I love having the stats for my reading habits, however, please don't use me as a benchmark for achievements or goal setting. I too lament the number of books I don't read, whilst enjoying as many as I can. 3/end
