I look for the feathers rather than wait for the 2x4s. Sober since March 3, 1984. Did ODAAT and got old. Avocation is linguistics of reducing misery, increasing productivity, and living a life of joy and meaning.

In case you missed it, Trump's CFPB has quietly dropped 18 lawsuits against banks, mortgage firms, and subprime lenders accused of offering predatory loans to millions of vulnerable consumers.
Trump is making his corporate backers even richer by letting them swindle you.
The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

A red-shouldered hawk stands on a branch with its back to the camera looking over its shoulder
This gorgeous red-shouldered hawk absolutely blessed me today with such a fun series of portraits. What a stunning individual. They called back and forth with their partner for a while, and I of course had to get some audio recordings (see 🧵) 🪶🔊

Best (yet worst) line I’ve heard. Upon hearing of the talk to eliminate Medicaid - “even for the Republicans ?”

The plan has FAILED - both opposition leaders have officially said they do NOT support calling an election to replace Zelenskyy while the war is going on
Formula to cause system failure:
1. Understaff
2. Underfund
The government is supposed to do two things with our taxes.
Empower and protect.
Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

I was bullied by friends as a kid, physically and verbally.
I was confused and shocked. I never understood why. Now I do.
They could and there weren’t any consequences.
I’ve not forgotten.
Seems they were just playing. Kind of like it’s just politics. Until it’s not.
I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

It seems a hostile takeover is what we have happening in our country now.
