Aesasea (s/h/h)

Folks, CBO estimate of the distributional effect of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is out: www.cbo.gov/system/files...

It's grotesque

The closest I've gotten to finding those spaces currently is in a few select podcasts and email newsletters, but every other discourse space is just full of people horrified like me.

Today I am mourning the loss of substance. I miss intellectual dialogue based on facts. I miss being able to have conversations that don't devolve into attacks or depression. The world right now feels devoid of authentic connection. It feels like anything good and true is being broken.

Donald Trump, allegedly the “leader of the free world,” has attacked Canada, Ukraine, and Taiwan harsher than he ever attacked Russia, China, and North Korea. Let that sink in.

Well, food is about to get a lot more expensive, and I manage stress by info-dumping, so I'm gonna share some of the survival strategies I learned spending my first 30 years food-insecure:

First: Cooking in large quantities and freezing some for later is more cost-effective than cooking every day

It's just wild watching the media cover an ongoing coup with the lackadaisical, casual air of them covering something that doesn't really affect anyone at all.

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

"...we have a thug in charge of the United States and if we don't wake up, we may not have a United States"

Preach, Jasmine.

What Trump didn’t say in his inauguration speech | Bernie Sanders The simple truth is that Trump ignored almost every major issue facing this country’s working families in his first speech

"The simple truth is that Donald Trump gave a major speech, the first speech of his second presidency, and ignored almost every significant issue facing the working families of this country." 👏👏👏

I just want someone out here saying "Hey, we have ideas for new things that everyone is gonna like!" and the closest I've gotten to seeing that is @sanders.senate.gov 's rant about the working class being left behind (which they are).

And to be clear, the #republican party has basically made their personality "we're gonna undo everything that guy did and then some", which is even worse.

The #democrat party right now feels a lot like guys who make their entire personality about things they hate and then wonder why no one wants to date them.

Let's go, Buffalo!! #GoBills

Understandable.

Very you vibes!

As a Bills fan, I only have heart as an option!

Where do you get it?

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

I can’t even look at the news today but this is about where I’m at.

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over!

Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

That's amazing!

Ok, I have received donations for my drinking fund for the Bills vs. Chiefs playoff game this Sunday. 🍹 What would be some thematic cocktails to make? I'm thinking something in blue/white/red? Recipes welcome! 💙🤍❤️ #buffalobills #chiefs #nfl #playoffs #billsmafia #letsgobuffalo #cocktails

It's because people are posting starter packs of fantasy sports folks on reddit.

But they are bringing a more 'masculine' way of doing business 🙄
