I can think of at least 10 reasons why I would *not* in fact like to do that and why crypto can go fuck itself, so no thanks, Venmo.

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

Isn’t it cool that we have to live like this just so we can sell plastic to each other in a variety of ways

These two goofballs. They are the best.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

Wow, I don’t like *that.*

If the US had a representative government, we'd have:

* Cracked down on gun violence
* UBI
* Universal paid family and medical leave
* Universal healthcare
* Only defensive military
* No aid to other fascist regimes

Nothing to see here, just a little light graft and corruption from the party that endlessly whines about morality and “values.”

This probably hits a lot harder if you’re familiar with Cake’s song “The Distance,” so if you’re not, you might want to listen to that first. Mad respect to these guys. Satirical solid gold.

This is a YouTube add that keeps popping up. I don’t know what they are selling but I hate it.

I cannot overemphasize how wrong and destructive this is.

I didn’t know who needs to bloody well hear this, but ADHD (and autism) are not a lack of “communication skills” training. They are biological differences in brains.

Don’t let the snake-oil peddlers of bullshit steer you wrong.

Incredible. We got to "Is a pedophile island really all that bad?" five times faster than I thought.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.

Just stopped for gas and the guy at the next pump had a goat in the back. Of his minivan.

I don’t know if this is of any significance, but we are in North Carolina, just for the record.

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

Anytime I see Jeff Bezos mentioned I remember the time he flew to space with William Shatner and when a very emotoinal Shatner was trying to describe the experience Bezos interrupted by spraying champagne like an idiot child

Like hell I will. Listen, if someone reading this makes these kind of decisions: we don’t want this and it can go fuck itself. Find a better way to use your time.
