Dozens of lawmakers beat stock market in 2024: Report The stock portfolios of more than two dozen lawmakers once again outperformed the market as bans on congressional stock trading stalled, according to a new report from the trading trackers at Unusu…

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?

I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser

Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

Yeah ok, I’m doing this.

Here is some advice for aspiring game writers.

Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics.

Fact: a game’s story is not about the cinematics.

I don’t want to hear about the “radical left” from people who pose their kids with guns for Christmas cards.

When it comes to pursuing your dreams- have audacity. Be delusional. You can do anything you put your mind and soul to ✨

Just to be clear: however bad you think the Trump second term will be, I assure you it’ll be worse.

Will I understand Luigi's Manifesto if I haven't played Luigi's Mansion?

After I got my doctorate in health admin, I could have taken a cushy job atop a corporate health firm & gotten rich off denying claims, but instead, I chose a low-paying civil service job to help care for Veterans & the Military. So don't give me that "he was only doing his job" crap.

Protect your peace: not everything needs your reaction, attention, or energy. Let it pass. That’s self-care and boundary work.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

When you call 911, they ask “police, fire, or EMS?”

Only one of those costs money: the ambulance. That’s unacceptable.

Imagine if your house was on fire and you were presented with a bill after it was put out. That would be outrageous.

So why do we tolerate it with healthcare?

Dear President Biden,

In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT.

That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt.

You have immunity.
Just do it.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Never mind. I think I’ve figured out the answer.

Jeff Tiedrich for the win:

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

Vivek is literally an unelected federal bureaucrat.

The genuine shock on her face. They almost broke. What pros.

This ~ 💯%

Just sitting here thinking about all those paycheck to paycheck folks who elected a billionaire who put other billionaires in charge of taking shit away from paycheck to paycheck folks, so they can make more billions.

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad

I’m pretty sure this is not legal. Congressmen can’t trade and make money on their job.

Ethics maybe having to take a look

Sarah McBride: "I didn't run for the United States House of Representatives to talk about what bathroom I use. I didn't run to talk about myself. I ran to deliver for Delawareans."

Jimmy Kimmel just DESTROYED Donald Trump’s entire administration. 🤣

Bluesky is going to have a big problem if it doesn't do something about verification. Offering the same stupid system that Mastodon uses is not a solution.

It needs to be easy for accounts to use AND easy for followers to see. It is becoming a daily frustration. @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app

Post showing precipitous decline of share of deaths in Massachusetts from diseases for which vaccines are now available, from 70% in 1840 to low digits % by 1950-60 where it is stayed. Caption: There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination. Massachusetts is one of those places. From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.

There can only be one me. Help me let @bsky.app be aware that I’m the real me. Many thanks, Mar🐫

🙏 ♥️ 👍

I’ve actually been pronouncing it “Blue-skee” the whole time and then ppl were posting pictures of blue skies and I was like oh 😂💀
