If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Optometrist's assistant has just informed me that the other day she pushed a button on their new equipment and it made a dancing chicken appear on screen in the middle of an appointment and none of them can figure out why they even have that button.

The Heritage Foundation is absolutely making overt terrorist threats and everyone you know needs to be aware of this.

Somebody else pointed earlier that the "bloodless if the leftists allow" (paraphrasing) bullshit sentence, is a clear terrorist threat and should probably be called like this.

A lot of it has faded, to be sure. But this, by Jefferson--standing tall, inscribed in his memorial--speaks down through the ages, and inviting a nation that needs to hear it, to choose a better future for itself, unshackled by any laws or institutions that fail to move us forward to a better future

I think it did, tho these are admittedly very dark times, and it's hard to see right now. But far more importantly: I think it can be a better nation, if we will it; one built on equality, dignity, and justice for everyone. And where elites and institutions failed us, we can and must build anew

We need to stop this experiment.

I see that the Foo Fighters just kicked off their UK tour, so it's time to drag out my "Why I Hate Dave Grohl" thread. TL;DR: The Foo Fighters funded AIDS denialist groups from 1999-2007 that lobbied to deny people life-saving medication. They have never acknowledged the deaths they caused.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

If your leftism isn't fundamentally centered on the idea of human dignity and freedom as universal and immutable values of everyone, frankly, what is the fucking point of your philosophy.

Heat wave season reminder: one incident of severe heatstroke can cause an acute brain injury, as well as predispose you (generally temporarily) to getting heatstroke again. Do not push past early symptoms of heat exhaustion. Catch it as heat exhaustion, and avoid an ER visit for heatstroke.

Sleep deprivation is also a risk factor for heatstroke. If you have been unable to sleep well recently, your heat tolerance is down and you should be even more cautious in the heat wave than you otherwise would be.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

For those who thought indictments for war crimes would make no difference, it’s entirely likely that IDF commanders are disobeying Netanyahu and implementing pauses precisely bc they don’t want to be next. Of course a complete ceasefire is what’s needed to start with, but this will likely 1/
