Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

Imagine going through life being this much of a shit. Future historians will feel pity for us having to live through an era when the #GOP elevated whiny sociopathic ignoramuses like this to prominence and made them rich for being assholes.

I hope this man gets visited by three ghosts tomorrow night. #FuckThisGuy #UnfetteredCapitalism #WorkersOfTheWorldUnite

After decades of wondering, one NPR reporter decided to figure out how her husband's family dog knew when the school bus would arrive every day. The explanation is more fascinating than you can imagine.

Finished reading @chuckwendig's Wayward, the sequel to Wanderers, and wow, what a ride! I was pulled along, really wanting to find out what happened to the characters because I cared about them and about the Very Good Dog.

Early this week, the leaders of Afghanistan declared that women could not attend university. Now there are fears the any education for girls is in jeopardy as some female teachers are sent home. https://t.co/75Nn0mSdef

Oh, I have to hear that Elon Twitter spaces Tesla shareholders, meeting audio.

A teenager in the Bronx was accused of stealing a backpack. The police arrested him.

Couldn't make bail. Would spend 2 years on Riker's island awaiting a trial.

--only for the charges to be dropped. Many were appalled, they set it up for him to go to community college. That's where I met him once-- Came to electronics club. He made an LED Christmas tree-- he seemed... so so so sad.

He took his own life later that year.

Anyways. Uh, Sam Bankman-Fried to be released on $250 million bail.

One interesting difference between #Zelensky and the GOPers who refused to stand and applaud for him is that someday heroic statues will be erected of Zelensky worldwide, while generations of Americans make pilgrimages to the graves of Gaetz and Boebert with gallons of Ex-Lax. #politics

If you're commenting on Zelenskyy's clothing-

You've got nothing else.
The man is a hero.

#Republicans want the same thing the #Russians do: to be an authoritarian minority ruling with violent impunity over all the free peoples around them.

New preprint study suggests that #autistic people share resources more readily and are more generous to strangers than #neurotypicals. #autism https://psyarxiv.com/n2mt5/

Will your hospital help with your bill — or sue you?

A KHN investigation of collection policies at more than 500 U.S. hospitals found that many will aggressively pursue those who cannot pay their bills.

Ex-FIFA executive Jack Warner financed work by Cambridge Analytica parent SCL on a voter-suppression campaign in Trinidad.

Warner is fighting US extradition on charges he accepted $5 million in bribes to vote for Russia to be awarded 2018 world cup.

Warner financed the 2010 “Do So!” campaign which discouraged voters in Trinidad and was led by Cambridge Analytica parent SCL.

It's very important to understand, fascists don't just see hypocrisy as a necessary evil or an unintended side-effect.

It's the purpose. The ability to enjoy yourself the thing you're able to deny others, because you dominate, is the whole point.
For fascists, hypocrisy is a great virtue—the greatest.

A reminder because I feel like many have forgotten about this.

Nancy New—who Brett Favre texted to confirm media wouldn’t find out he’s getting $5M in Mississippi welfare funds—has pled guilty to welfare fraud. She's likely going to prison.

John Davis—the former MS welfare director—has pled guilty to welfare fraud. He's likely going to prison.

So here's my question: Why isn’t Brett Favre—who was the beneficiary of that MS welfare fraud—arrested yet?

DOJ: Charge Favre & demand accountability.
