For the Epsteinth time, Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

remember when we all started boycotting Target in Jan bc they ACTIVELY jumped on the anti-dei (being all sad about diversity helping businesses) knobjob train? And then they lost 12Billion dollars? Remember that was Black Activism that told us what to do. And it worked. Credit where credit is due.

Study 2 Intervention Materials Base Intervention Text The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide funding for scientific research that leads to major breakthroughs for cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, infectious diseases, stroke, mental illness, and more. NIH funding is also an excellent financial investment. For every dollar NIH invests in research, an average of $2.56 of economic activity is returned–a gain of over 250%. The White House recently ordered major changes to NIH funding, which would take back funds already promised to the states. States have sued to challenge the order, arguing that the changes are unlawful. [page break] There are two major sources of cuts to NIH funding, which will result in current and future losses. First, many NIH grants for health research have already been cancelled, interrupting ongoing studies and clinical trials. These cancelled grants are projected to result in economic losses of $4.9 Billion and over 21,000 jobs. Second, another change would greatly reduce NIH funding that covers “indirect costs” of research. These funds help pay for essential facilities, equipment, skilled staff, and safety checks needed across many research projects. Medical research would not be possible without funding to cover indirect costs. In the future, this proposed change to funding for indirect costs of research would reduce the U.S. economy by about $16 Billion and over 68,000 jobs every year.

Tweet from @thekafkadude It's really funny how America and the UK stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s because the free market will pave potholes and make the trains run on time and now literally nothing works and you cannot go anywhere or do anything but like 4 people are richer than God.

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Do you imagine god as a top or a bottom?

A 1940 newspaper clip from the Springfield Leader and Press, declaring: Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis cClaim."

"Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

my chiropractor just went for two nights with his new girlfriend to Las Vegas and he said “ the locals were talking about how tourism is down so much.” And I said yeah nobody wants to go to Germany in 1934

A seven year old piece that is as informative now as it was then.
Really well written and I recommend you read it.

Tabletop makers push back against tariffs with honesty and direct political action "I urge everyone to do the same, because it’s important in times like these to speak up and to voice your concerns, your dissent.”

Tabletop makers are pushing back against Trumps' tariffs with honesty, but also calls for direct political action. @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social spoke with publishers who say the economic chaos has fostered solidarity -- and a will to fight.

This is nonsense

According to a 2021 report, the University of California system:

• generated $82B in economic activity in California

• supported 529K jobs in the state

• generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received

Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.

Flexible/remote work is good, actually! When executives can’t make it work for their company, that’s a problem of leadership. Return to office mandates are about real estate costs and shitty bosses covering their asses - no matter what excuse they give. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

"We need to strengthen our ability to use antisemitism accusations as a cudgel against the leftist enemy within while also codifying our right to be raging antisemites."

It's just so perfect. What an ugly farce this all is.
