private equity is literally to society what cancer is to a healthy cell

"Veterinary prices have soared more than 60% over the past decade, according to federal stats. Private equity firms and large corps have bought 100s of facilities around the country, an acquisition spree reminiscent of the corporate roll-ups of doctors’ offices." www.nytimes.com/2024/06/23/h...

Why You’re Paying Your Veterinarian So Muchwww.nytimes.com People have grown more attached to their pets — and more willing to spend money on them — turning animal medicine into a high-tech industry worth billions.

Every climate scientist I know reacted to this bill like it was Christmas and Mardi Gras rolled into one, and hardly anybody has any idea it happened at all.

not enough ppl in the world screaming from the top of their lungs ‘what’s goin on’ these days

Here’s a simple challenge: show me you can provide adequate amounts of *voluntary* treatment for mental illness and addiction before proposing involuntary treatment. If you can’t, this is just an excuse to lock people up out of sight.

Fuck, and I cannot say this robustly enough, this.

Rowan's one of the best sisters I know, and her games crit still influences my own thinking. Toss her a coin or ten.

Hello comrades! I need some help. My heart condition continues to make me unable to work or really do much of anything for longer than an hour or two every day. There is hope, but I need to pay rent while that's coming: Paypal: rowankaiser Venmo: @rowankaiser Cashapp: $rowankaiser

- Best dog parent - Best partner for puzzle games, talking about tv theories, etc - Really smart and skilled at work in ways that mystify me - Secretly adorable - Beautiful eyes and fantastic hands. Top notch. - Great cook - Supportive as fuck ♥️

I like this idea, please tell me your favorite things about your partner 💕

My grandma’s obituary doesn’t need more traffic, WordPress. Chill.

Even if you have 9-1-1 service, it’s likely paramedics will be massively overwhelmed in the heart of the heat dome. That caused a lot of the deaths in ours a few years ago. Make sure you and your loved ones have an alternative way to the hospital if you possibly can, and proactively check in.

In the midst of a heat wave that will absolutely have acute health repercussions for many people, some requiring an emergency response and now 911 is down across the state. This is horrifying.

Oh, this sounds like my shit. If I’m gonna go for a straight romance, one of them had better be immortal and somewhat monstrous.

ICYMI, my new gothic fantasy rom-com novella, A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, is available to preorder now! It's coming out July 1st on my Patreon and on August 5th at every standard retailer. Preorder now: books2read.com/undeadinconv... Or subscribe to my Patreon: patreon.com/stephaniebur...

Well into the internet era, I’d call into radio stations to ask them to play songs I loved because that was the only way I could hear them. iTunes wasn’t around to sell music till *2003* - even Napster wasn’t around till 1999.

i hate to have one of these at all but my big "WE DRANK FROM THE HOSE" opinion is that people younger than millennials really can't imagine what coming of age in a time of media scarcity meant - like, I would read about records and movies and not actually be able to see them for YEARS

Once again, we etc etc. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Wicked And The Divine, we are kickstarting a coffee table book of all the 126 covers from the series! Standard and Deluxe versions available: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kat...

I borrowed the Whalefall ebook from the library without knowing anything about it, somehow ignored the cover, and made it many chapters in before thinking “…Wait, he couldn’t possibly be about to…?” He was, in fact, about to. I am too claustrophobic for this.

I’ve tried a lot of demos during Next Fest (because I have a problem), and nothing’s instantly won me over like Tactical Breach Wizards. Sharp, funny dialogue and bite-size, puzzley tactics levels. store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/...

Tactical Breach Wizards on Steamstore.steampowered.com In Tactical Breach Wizards, you lead a team of renegade wizards in kevlar through turn-based battles to unravel a modern conspiracy plot. Combine their unique spells in clever ways, or rewind time to ...

This is SO IMPORTANT. If you've ever enjoyed my work, the work of other erotic artists or sex work in general pls consider signing this. Erotic artists & sex workers are constantly being excluded, hidden and kicked off of places where we try to make a living in peace ALL cuz of credit card companies

Specifically we've already asked the FTC to intervene against this policy which silences lawful speech and puts sex workers in danger. Every signature helps us make the case.

It’s so great to see the Dragon Age fandom spinning back up. Only fandom I’ve ever fallen face first into, and I’m almost as excited for the chance to do that again as I am for the game.
