Means-testing also makes programs cost more than they would under a universal model, because so much money gets wasted on verification, surveillance, and compliance.

The means-testing thing is so pernicious man. Designed in a lab to sow resentment, degrade the public good, shrink services and transfer costs away from government coffers and to individuals’ post-tax income

New theory proposes time has three dimensions, with space as a secondary effect
Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist.

Let’s Be Clear: The Rioting In LA Is By The Cops, Not The Protestors
I already wrote about the GOP’s bloodthirsty desire to use the military on Americans. They manufactured a nonsense “crisis” by over-aggressively sending in ICE agents to grab people off the streets, leading to protests, which were focused on provoking protestors into violence, which would then be used to justify an even more violent crackdown. Given that, it’s crucial to get actual reports from what’s actually happening on the street, rather than relying on questionable media framing by those not actually there.

So there I was, just minding my own business at the Wawa, pumping gas, biting my thumb, normal stuff, when this guy comes up and starts yelling about how I'm biting my thumb *at him*, and I'm like "no, bro, no. I'm biting my thumb, but I'm not biting my thumb at you, calm down"

I am pretty sure the newest black keys single is just a terribly veiled rework of their own song ‘wild child’ which is itself a somewhat better disguised remake of “mind eraser”. anyway this band kicked ass up through their “brothers album” and I’m sad they’re out of new ideas

A motivational poster style image with a picture of Monty Williams coaching Ausar Thompson and Cade Cunningham with the following modified Pauline epistle below it:

"However, as it is said: 'What no fan has seen, what no commentator has spoken of, and what no basketball enthusiast has imagined' - the victories the Pistons have prepared for those who support them."

@kofie.bsky.social While many people on this platform mock ChatGPT, I instead choose to use it to rewrite Pauline epistles to be about the Detroit Pistons: "For the tale of continuous defeats is folly to those who abandon hope, but to us who stand by the Pistons, it is the strength of resilience."

should retire. I think criticisms of that stance as “anti-feminist” are a farce. Her refusal to either retire or show up is causing great harm to the judiciary - precisely where repro rights are getting stripped. That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP-approved nominees
