Illuminati Social Club

I feel like it's been three times a day since January 20.

I just found out that because I'm the only person in the office who gets health insurance, we're no longer a group and I'm being cast off to fend for myself.

I work in a small manufacturing company. One of our primary components comes from Japan. There was a tariff fee of $4000 on our latest order which was invoiced to us. Now we get to add that cost into the cost that we charge customers. Exactly how is Japan paying these tariffs?

This is a disturbing thread. Imagine any previous president--hell--any human being at all doing this. It's a cult.

As someone who is currently in the process of finding a new plan, I can tell you that it doesn't feel good, I'm not happy, and frankly, it fucking sucks. Also, I am fully employed.

you know what people love? working more to haggle for health insurance costs

Is this the new manifesting technique? Visualize the prices going down and they'll go down.

Joyce Carol Oates could insult me and I would thank her for the pleasure.

For my fellow ELDEST of Millennials (maybe) and Gen X. Perfect meme, no notes.

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

It was Leo Sprinkle's name on the forward, wasn't it?

You are an academic, aren't you?

Definitely not worth the price.

Holy shit. @oliverrockside.bsky.social, @docpinko.bsky.social, check out the preface writer of this book.

At least when Bart sold his soul to Milhouse, he got $5.00.

I fucking hate this timeline.

No, but Bigfoot might be.

I watched it THREE TIMES!

Congress is going to approve a new page on the congressional website that shows people how to sign up for GoFundMe.

Congress will approve subsidies to the insurance companies in order to cover the losses from the people who can't afford to pay for health insurance.

Where do you stand on keeping Chuck Schumer as party leader after last night? It's been confirmed by his office and Sen Shaheen that the leader was well aware of the plan and allowed it to happen. Your answer to this question determines if you get my vote or not.

Senator Schumer is really Darth Sidious.

Schumer: "People who already blame us for the shutdown will continue to blame us for the shutdown. We must give in."

Thanks, @kaine.senate.gov, for getting all those poor, helpless Republicans off the hook and selling your constituents out for the promise of an ACA vote that will fail miserably. Traitor.

Well, at least I know my Democratic senators didn't vote for this. I'm from Ohio.

I live in Ohio. I don't have Democratic senators. And I'm in no mood to talk to Bernie Moron-o.

New episode! This time around, @oliverrockside.bsky.social and @heavydishongry.bsky.social join @aliencg.com and @docpinko.bsky.social to talk about Sasquatch Odyssey.
It's a bit unhinged.
