I found a mistake in the article. MOHELA was set up by the Missouri State legislature and the lawsuit was brought by the state of Missouri, not Nebraska. It's the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority.

I live in Indianapolis and have been looking for a job in Illinois.

I remember that, too. I blew my money on ecstasy, LSD, and shoes.

I want everyone to just take FIVE MINUTES, and take a look at this extremely well put together project 2025 tracker.

We're less than a month in.

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states.

Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

RFK 's plan to make America healthy again? Round up people with mental health conditions in camps Kennedy wants to replace standard psychological care with unpaid labor on "wellness farms"

RFK's not-so-veiled threat to take mental health drugs away is even worse than it looks at first blush.

He wants to replace these medications with labor camps.

This fits with the larger, eugenics-informed Trump/Musk agenda.

I skimmed this list a few days ago but I didn't see that the word "female" was included. This will make it even harder to get funding for research into women's health issues. And "barrier"? What if someone wanted to study a drug crossing the blood-brain barrier? This is crazy.

So is Elon Musk just doing a coup and the media and Congress is just ignoring it?

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: "The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop." Here's the whole paragraph: We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop, unless you live in California, North Dakota, or Vermont. For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, we’ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, you’ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under “Data and Privacy.”

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.

The secret to goat ownership if you're not a farm person is to have pygmy goats. They're small, they're friendly little bundles of chaos, and they can be housebroken. My grandparents used to have five dogs and two pygmy goats in their house and they were fantastic.

Also, calling a 10 person meeting when the issue could be resolved by sending one person an email. I am very annoyed with my coworkers today, if that isn't obvious.

Something that annoys me more than it should: when someone sends a company-wide email wishing everyone a happy holiday and then everyone replies all. I do not need 50 Happy Thanksgiving emails, thank you very much.

Really?

Really?

I'm also an X, I'm very disappointed in our generation.

I forgot about Chuck Palahnuik. I've definitely read more than five of his books, but it's been awhile.

5 writers of whom I've read 5+ books

Kurt Vonnegut
Joe Abercrombie
Brandon Sanderson
Steven King
Tad Williams

A bonus five: Jason Pargin, Paul Tremblay, Robert Jordan, Margaret Atwood, Lucy Maude Montgomery

Obviously, I like long fantasy series and horror novels.

Gen x. 1977.

And if you weigh over 165lbs (74.8kg), Plan B is less effective.

Also, some women over 50 can still get pregnant. The average age menopause starts is 51, so it will start later for some women. My great grandma had her last child in her mid-late 50s. You can still ovulate even after you stop having periods.

Defense pick Hegseth paid accuser but denies sexual assault, attorney says Documents obtained by The Post provide extensive detail about an allegation that Pete Hegseth sexually assaulted a woman in 2017.

Wow. @PeteHegseth lawyer confirms Hegseth paid rape accuser to sign a NDA. The @washingtonpost reports the alleged victim went to hospital and had a rape kit done. Found evidence of semen.

Of misogyny, Musk, and men Women are not okay. We're furious.

The Trump campaign knew that men were his ticket back to power, and it targeted them—pointedly young men, and men of color—with a sophisticated campaign of grievance and disinformation.

And in that, they were massively aided by the manosphere and its billionaire mascot: Elon Musk.

Tweet from OK school’s superintendent Ryan Walters: “The Bible is back in Oklahomas classrooms. We are getting our kids back on track.” It’s missing the apostrophe in Oklahomas

@0dd-r0b.bsky.social I'm really happy we didn't move to Oklahoma.

RFK Jr: "Hold my beer"

Looks like I was wrong about that and cursed us all. I sincerely apologize for my 10 year old self. (2/2)
