I need more ppl to be scared. As I've been bitching, I just lost my job & being replaced w/Ai. That's not the scary part. My job incl handling sensitive, private, medical info plus all your personal info up to SSN. It's all being fed to Ai & Ai is not covered under HIPAA. It's really fucking scary.

What was the rate before he started the war? Just curious.

Cars are so much better. They're so much more durable, they get vastly better gas mileage, and most of all, they are SO MUCH SAFER.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.

"Night Taxi" - my oil painting

Fresh Air had a reminder that the first Black Miss America had to surrender her crown after nude photos were published. First "lady" of the "party of family values" gets to live high on taxpayer dime after the whole world saw her nekkid. (Russian TV constantly shows the pix.)

sure, antidepressants are great, but have you ever watched two silly dogs chase flies around a back yard on a truly glorious summer day

Many struggling Americans now find their difficulties compounded by President Trump's cuts in food stamps and health care. On a 1,000 mile road trip, I met people like Trinity Goodman, who survives by selling blood plasma, has $3.78 in her bank account. A gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/o...

Millions of Americans struggle in sometimes unimaginable ways, and Trump’s cuts in food stamps and other benefits are now making life even more precarious.

Genius to send the former mayor of nyc to convince midwesterners that data centers are great

Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d ago

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

We are cooked.

Dear Tim Hortons- I heart your dark roast, but EFF YOU.

Nothing says justice like hunting one, single woman who was taking care of her own, personal business, while letting the biggest crimes of the century committed by of course, men, get sucked into a black hole.

What I love about this book is that it feels like a guy from a much grittier fantasy series (I have joked to @adamstemple.bsky.social it's a guy from one of his books) wakes up and finds himself in a comedic romance (albeit one with a much higher body count than you'd expect in a romance).

Look at the bright side. But wait, there IS no bright side, at least until the people who oversaw this breakdown in American society's safety net are behind bars where they can no longer do any harm.
