In much of the world you can buy a Chinese EV that is just fine for you for under $20k. Without extreme protectionism all US car companies would be instantly bankrupt finance.yahoo.com/economy/arti...

Car payments just hit a record $787 a month—and 1 in 4 new-car buyers is now signing a 7-year loan
New-car payments, loan sizes and lifetime interest all set records last quarter, even with rates flat at 7%. Six-figure households are still buying. Everyone else is getting squeezed.

Has anyone figured out a good way to get your family vaccinated for flu and COVID at the same time? We're on year 6 and this is STILL a painful process of, "Who has pediatric vaccine?" "Where can I get 5 appointments?" It's so annoying.

"What Trump is doing now is next level. He’s not just attacking Somali residents. Rather, he’s calling for Minnesotans to attack them as well. And of course, it’s all based on absolute lies." — @snipy.bsky.social

Trump wants a race war. Minnesotans won’t take the bait.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW
