They money gets put toward unemployment or, better yet, UBI. At the very least, we need regulation on it yesterday. Maybe Congress should focus on that instead of taking away healthcare?

ChatGPT is unavoidable for people in IT now. You learn to work with it, or you’ll be out of a job soon.
Maybe a far more realistic way of dealing with its implications would be charging a use tax to companies who use it to replace workers. Just like polluters *should* have to pay for cleanup.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Some weird Lincoln memorial picture with “Americanism will prevail” under it, WTF, IDK

It’s only Americanism if it’s from the Constitutionally-sound region of federal policy. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling fascism.

-or-

It’s only Americanism if it’s respectful of all nations of North and South America.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

‘They don’t have symptoms’: CAR-T therapies send autoimmune diseases into remission Engineered T cells that have been used to treat ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus show promising results.

Developed initially to target and kill tumors, they are now being engineered to target cells that are contributing to autoimmune diseases, like antibody-producing B cells.

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.

Who’s gonna tell ‘em

Been thinking about this movie a lot lately, for no particular reason.

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.

We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

This! I got the last version of the mini they made. It was one of the big reasons I switched back to iPhone. I hope this one lasts 5 more years at least!

I used to live in Hamilton. Lots of really good people there. 💙 JD Vance really gives the area a bad name.

I really just need a video of Miss Piggy saying she won’t be quiet. 🐷

I remember learning about oligarchies in social studies as a kid and wondering how the governed tolerated it.

Didn’t really want to learn first-hand.

Just saw a claim from Fox News that No Kings protestors got $500 each. Times 7 million protestors (on the low end) that’s 3.5 billion dollars. These people expect us to believe someone is spending that to get the US government to…tax billionaires fairly? 🤣🤣🤣

Also, where’s my check?

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

So the vice president decided that it’s better for the administration to claim that a comment made by the president is better played off as a joke he made AT A MEMORIAL SERVICE than taken at face value.

How it started How it’s going

Trump rolls back housing discrimination laws he once violated edition

So disappointing that the only challenger to GOP gerrymandering in Ohio *with existing infrastructure in place to theoretically accomplish anything* is *still* so openly dysfunctional.

Actually, not incredible at all, this totally tracks with what the patriarchy has been doing to us for centuries.
What’s actually incredible is this confederacy of dunces is concerned and surprised that women don’t want to have babies anymore.

Incredible that this administration not only manages to blame women for autism rates because we take Tylenol while pregnant (as doctors have recommended for decades), BUT, they also expect pregnant women to simply deal with pain during pregnancy and seek no relief.
