I think everyone who was like "great, now every environmental group ever should sue!" underestimated how swiftly those groups would be dwarfed by the juggernauts who are already collecting billions and billions of dollars from us and want more.

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.

Yesssssssss we are legion and we love democracy

One thing I want to say, as I unleash Buy it Nows upon the world for the third time, is that there has been a lot of chatter in publishing about whether or not historical romance is "dead" or not. They should try keeping a regency BIN in stock for more than 90 seconds...

the Chinese abacus, once you're trained on it, is extremely fast for addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but slow on division and roots. In the 1970s, you see transitional portable electronic calculators with an abacus for shopkeepers so they can keep abacusing.

Ok international #RomancingTheVote participants, this thread is for you! I’m highlighting items that ship worldwide first, then some digital items you can get! I’m doing this toward late night for many Americans, so the bids are little calmer. @romancingthevote.bsky.social

My first formative exposure to #2 was as a young child when I read Peter Pan and I can still remember the final scene word for word ("Bad form!") I am like 99% sure that this is something Brian Kendrick and I have in common

Favorite wrestling feud tropes: 3. The face is the only opponent the heel actually respects and/or fears 2. The heel is desperate to drag the face down to their level 1. They used to be best friends (probably closer than brothers? IJS) (Not mutually exclusive obviously)

Update: I still love wrestling HEEL: I've lived in Philly for 13 years.... and I hate it here ME: [politely] boo HEEL: I don't actually live in Philly, I live on the Mainline ME: lol respect to you sir, a classic heel move HEEL: [to face] And maybe we used to be best friends, but-- ME: DIEEEE
