Um… it’s supposed to be affordable care for people, not affordable to run the program. What a dumb manipulation of basic language to seem clever. But that’s not what those words mean.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but if a sentence starts with β€˜per’ it’s usually a bummer.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

We Live Inside The Shepard Tone Everyday things get worse, and stay the same

Wrote about the feeling of living at a literal fever pitch for the last decade, and how every day things somehow get worse but stay the same.

Gutted: How Deeply Trump Has Cut Federal Health Agencies More than 20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform...

ICYMI: @propublica.org wanted to know how much federal health agencies had been gutted. The administration wouldn’t tell us, so we figured it out our own way.

Lots of charts and deep reporting on what this means for you:

Half the shit that constitutes the Discourse these days, my primary response is just β€œI’m embarrassed for us collectively that this is a thing we’re even talking about.”

Watching a Waymo stuck in the middle of a block party, creating a surreal traffic jam because it can’t figure out how to briefly cross the yellow line to get past the crowd. Now the cops are here. They don’t understand the problem and are yelling at everyone but the car. The future is so stupid

A close-up photograph of a flute made from a hollowed bone, displayed horizontally on a soft, gray fabric mount in a museum. The flute features several round finger holes along its length and showcases signs of wear and age, such as small chips.

One of the oldest known musical instruments: a Palaeolithic flute made from a vulture bone some 38,000 years ago!

This is one of 8 known flutes found on the Swabian Jura. The finds suggest that music played an important role in this region. 🧡1/2

I, for one, am shocked that giving people money when they don’t have money solves the problems caused by them not having money

Man... the prices on bulk coffee. Hoo-boy.

Over the past week or so, I've watched all of the cheap, bulk bags of coffee on Amazon SELL OUT. That can't be a good sign for the economy.

The Great Coffee Rebellion of 2026 is going to be spectacular.

There is something that has been building for years and seems to have kicked off with climate change and gained speed in the first Trump admin and is now going full-bore and it’s this apocalypse fetish where people are actively wishing and hoping for bad things to happen and it’s fucking weird.
