Thank you @ossoff.bsky.social for caring. My family live a crisis away from disaster everyday. My son suffers from cystic fibrosis , I have stage four cancer. We know what it is like to struggle to pay for hospital bills. People need to look around them and find people who are struggling and care

This “long-term platform manipulation” explanation for Ella Langley feels more true to me than “you’re a stuck up liberal.” It also feeds into stuff I’ve written in the past about gaming the charts. www.garbageday.email/p/why-choosi...

the Hawks/Hawkeyes thing is really funny, but the fact that the brains of a sitting U.S. Senator *and his entire staff* are so thoroughly cooked that they thought this nonsense meant anything at all is going to make me go doomer if I think about it too much

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

My neighbor told me his AI company keep eating all his investors’ capital so I asked how much capital he has and he said he just goes to the market and gets more capital so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding institutional investors to AI then his CFO started crying.

What actually needs to happen is to ban vouchers nationwide, and return to the very normal and obvious policy of "No public funds for private or religious schools". Period. Turning that black and white line into a gray area has been an expensive disaster.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.
