So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Sweet!

@quadt.bsky.social I heard you mention Marathon on last week's Geek Show! My husband works for Bungie (on the Destiny team) and he's very excited about Marathon, I hope you enjoy it :)

Now some poor R will have to race to run against a strong D

Welp, that's a follow👍

@rfhkerry.bsky.social since you liked the commercial. I was happy to see it was all practical effects/stop motion!

Didn't feel it, but heard it, like some creaking of the house. My cat did notice it and was looking around like WTF just happened? 😂

Ah yes. Prior tenants famously control rent prices for subsequent tenants.

🤦🏻‍♀️

We were up at the Capitol last night, supporting prop 4 and fair elections and I noticed these statues. I'm assuming they're supposed to reflect Utah values. Feels like the legislature needs to spend some time in the rotunda reflecting. #utleg #prop4 #noice #beliveinscience

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

1. The commercial was done by Ontario, not Canada itself, which is run by someone in the opposing party to Carney. He had nothing to do with it.
2. Commercial was not "false." It was entirely accurate.
3. Reagan hated tariffs.

Stop just letting him lie constantly.

Just realized I'm reading this book, while wearing my We never left the water shirt & using focus friend while waiting for my flight. Thanks @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @hankgreen.bsky.social 🤣

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

@hodgman.bsky.social I saw this Moxie soda display at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester NY & thought of you!

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

@quadt.bsky.social you need to try the Mt. Dew Trolli gummy worms!

An empty booth with a sign that says “vendor removed for selling AI art #ArtBYHumans”

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

It's also super confusing/difficult to figure out WHERE to get the vaccine. CVS in my state isn't carrying it for anyone. I may need a prescription from my PCP, maybe not? I'm going to contact the county health dept, but I'm sure many people just won't bother.

@quadt.bsky.social Have you tried the new Mt Dew at Maverick? Honeydew melon flavor. Not bad! 🍈

And they're trying to pass this while their offices are closed and can't get public comment through 🤬

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

@rfhkerry.bsky.social if VEEP were still on today. Might need more swears tho

Please!! It would be a dream come true!

Hey, you're supposed to be on vacation! 😉

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.

This ain’t about law and order.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Utah Pride merch and the proceeds go to nonprofits?! Hell yeah!
