Pretty wild that Kalshi's legal theory is basically "women be shopping."

Women be purchasing federally-regulated event contracts on derivative exchanges.

Why would we stop counting the number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities right before massive Medicaid cuts? So we can't easily quantify the number of disabled people who die as a direct result of H.B. 1.

As CDC redesigns annual health survey, it removes questions about disabilities www.statnews.com/2026/10/01/c...

Oh, yeah? Well, I think it's unprofessional for corporate blowhards to project their insecurities onto an iced coffee.

The order of succession of the Director of the FBI suddenly makes complete sense.

I may not produce my own basal tears, but my emotional tears can easily overpower 15mg of Lexapro.

Why is my health insurance company's customer service representative asking ME if my medical supplies are covered as a medical benefit or a pharmacy benefit?

Why should abortion be legal and accessible at any point in pregnancy? Lots of reasons! Here's one: Homicide is the leading cause of death in pregnant and postpartum folks.

Even though I've called Pennie multiple times to update my address since I moved in 2024, they have not updated it! Despite putting my new address on my applications at the end of 2024 and 2025, they did not acknowledge my new address.

Specifically interested in talking to people who worked on Summer Lee's 2022 campaign.

Explosive diarrhea is going around and suddenly everyone remembers what an incubation period is and how we arrive at averages. Interesting.

Not loving the Nathan For You revival.

You know what's dumb as hell? The fact that ambulances won't transport a motorized wheelchair when transporting a wheelchair user to/from the hospital.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) had 5 of their conference attendees ejected for distributing an editorial that was critical of the Trump administration? This can't be the ADA that I know! *Checks the ADA that I know*

We commend Steven Kahn, MBChB, Aaron Kelly, PhD, Desmond Schatz, MD, Justin Ryder, PhD, and Irl Hirsch, MD for Standing Up for Science at the ADA meeting. They were forcibly removed by police for handing out the following editorial. diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

You know that feeling when your blood glucose has been hovering around 400mg/dL for about 3 hours? It's bad.

Days ago, I didn't know that Ken Wh*tman existed. And now he's my enemy. Only true haters understand this kind of satisfaction.

I hope that all of the designers and publishers who were unfortunate enough to be featured on the 4PG "archive" are keeping detailed notes about the impact on their lives and businesses (earnings, time, emotional distress, etc.).

A(n) I(ncredible) Business Plan: 1. Alienate everybody in your industry through unauthorized commercial appropriation. 2. ???? 3. Profit.

Policy nerd here. Public figures have this thing called the right of publicity. It varies a bit, state-by-state, but this basically means that a public figure's name and likeness cannot be used for the commercial gain of another without express permission from the public figure.

Marketing professional here. Don’t do this. You’re asking to be sued for misappropriation of someone’s likeness for false promotion. Very clear this staff has no PR or legal team.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think "fair use principles" apply to a webstore attempting to commercially profit off of fabricated, nonconsensual association with legitimate designers and publishers.

Mike Waltz invited a reporter to the "Houthi PC small group" chat so Andrew Hugg could be mesmerized by the eyes of an undercover reporter.

Today, I encountered a document on the CMS website that provides guidance to Medicaid LTSS providers, clarifying the differences between institutional and home/community-based settings. The document is called "settings that isolate" and that phrase is still haunting me.

After passing the largest #Medicaid cut in history, the GOP is now trying to pass the most restrictive voter ID law, which would specifically disenfranchise people living in skilled nursing facilities (about 70% of whom rely on Medicaid to fund their care).

Senator Ted Cruz just used an ableist slur on the Senate floor—twice—while arguing for the #SAVEAmericaAct, which will specifically disenfranchise many #disabled voters.

You ever have a migraine so bad, you strain a muscle in your neck that you can feel in your face?

My partner's cat is pretty young, so every now and again we realize he hasn't experienced something, which results in lots of playful speculation and light scheming to make it happen.

Somebody tell Pete Hegseth that mewing doesn't actually work.

My cat is an artist. Unfortunately, her work is heavily influenced by Andy Warhol's oxidation paintings.
