"spanish bioshock but with catholic statues and your gun shoots your own blood"
Memo to Pierre: nobody serious is going to propose an LNG facility on the east coast right now because they know Europe will be reducing its medium and long-term dependence on gas consumption even more aggressively than it was before.
So yes, investment decisions *are* driven by math.
Had a Zoom meeting where my tax professional was using Google Gemini to look up the tax code, and I am thinking to myself, what am I paying you for?
MAGA says “do it the right way,” but even when people show up for immigration hearings, they cheer when ICE comes for them.
We asked www.PAXIS.app: ICE may be able to arrest someone at a hearing, but that does not make every arrest constitutional.
Keep fighting ICE: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS
Just FYI, you won't see me at the big ReedPop conventions (ECCC, SDCC, C2E2, NYCC, etc) because their parent company is infamous for feeding people's data to ICE.
Honestly it wasn't a hard call, half these shows put all the artists in haunted basements now anyway bleedingcool.com/pop-culture/...
a modest proposal: a select number of those convicted of lesser crimes at the Nuremberg 2.0 trials can earn a shot at redemption by surviving a deathrace-type competition using the unused fleet of ICE vehicles
Gosh, I sure hope the AI industry isn’t reliant on oil, otherwise we’d have some kind of looming economic disaster on our hands

The U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office.
A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. Read more: https://scim.ag/4boPkq8
has bombing a populace from the outside ever spurred that populace to rise up against their own government or is that just a thing we pretend happens even though it never does
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
You need to understand with what desperation I'm clinging to this, because I've been in tears and excoriating myself over a repeatedly failed piece over and again since before Christmas.
I just want to get it done and maybe hate myself a little less.
Perfect. The only possible change would be keeping the water tap running to represent the absurd water costs 😭
And Dolly Parton has BEEN about that life for DECADES. This is just the latest in a long life of meaningful philanthropy.
Dolly Parton's estimated net worth is ~$500 million. That makes her pretty crazy rich, but definitely not the richest in the country, or even the richest in entertainment. There are many richer than her that just choose not to spend their vast wealth this way. Yes, your celebrity heroes are included
when you see a rich person do this it reminds you that rich people could be doing shit like this every day but choose not to
“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
So chances are, if you're truly "working class" you don't own anything, your parents don't own anything, the people that raised you almost certainly weren't lawyers with any degree of success, and you almost definitely didn't go to a private school. Walmart is probably your store of choice bc prices
So...
- you can be middle class but not working class, working class, or in poverty.
- you can be middle class, working class, but not in poverty
- you can be working class, lower class, but not in poverty
- you can be working class, lower class, and in poverty
For clarity (source: Google searches):
- middle class: 2/3rds to 2x household median income (what an absurd range)
- working class: hourly workers earning below the median household income (~$83k nationally in the US)
- lower class: less than 2/3rds the median
- poverty: less than 50-60% the median
We take our current fortune of vaccines for granted so much it's really insane. Children's gravestones were far more numerous before we had modern vaccine schedules. Child mortality rates have CRATERED since we started regularly vaccinating. Don't take modern medicine lightly; so many more could die
Like yes, drug companies do make billions off these vaccines. But also, millions don't die in horrible, painful ways because of these vaccines. And millions more don't have to live life being permanently disabled by these viruses because of these vaccines.
The vaccine for the measles is one of those must-have vaccines for all kids. You really don't want your body to create the antibodies for this one "the hard way". See also: polio and any of the TDAP viruses
Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist… pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
We got another Kennedy outbreak in Utah
It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".
I forgot about Outlaw Star. I don't think I ever got to finish watching it when it was on Toonami two decades ago. I feel like it was abruptly stopped then started again much later on in time
Why aren't space westerns/cowboy scifi tackled more often in movies and TV? I don't know of many besides Firefly (didn't like), Cowboy Bebop (forever love), and Trigun (more western than space).
