When shopping, if I see a young person working there looking miserable I'll remember their name then write to the store and give them a completely manufactured glowing review. I remember what it was like doing jobs like that and it makes me feel good all evening.

When does a joke become a dad joke? When it’s fully groan.

"That's too much money it's GOPPING!" So here's an idea: if there's a poverty line that says you've not got enough, why shouldn't there be a line that says you've got too much? We agree and we think it's time to draw an Extreme Wealth Line. 🎤 @adambrichto.bsky.social

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.
