The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

This thread - documenting the rapid growth of a new fire into Spokane, WA today - is terrifying. We’re used to wildfires in the Northwest but what’s happening right now in eastern Washington is not normal.

Holy crap. Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division. Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.

I wrote them to complain about the Claude ad this morning, and this evening someone from corporate called me ON THE PHONE to thank me for the feedback and say they are PULLING THE AD, effective tomorrow. Keep up the pressure, folks! Find your voice! (Thanks Landmark, love u)

Landmark cinemas hitting us with a Claude ad right before The Odyssey started, like “here, have some cortisol for the opening credits”

ANYWAY Ginny is a FREEDOM CAT this fine cold morning and she was very pleased to come out of the crate and explore. Tom was desperate to sniff her and was very polite - she was 0% bothered. Grumps hissed once and left the scene.

Ginny, a ginger cat, tail up, blurry and headed for the communal food bowls on the floor. Grumps, a grey cat is looking at her and about to hiss. Tom, a ticked tabby cat, intently trying to smell Ginny's (a ginger cats) butt. Her tail is up and she isn't bothered.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
