Most of the dudes I know that were/are in the military have at least one dumb tattoo, probably half of those got while drunk with buddies. Exactly zero of them are Nazi tattoos.

The Louvre has been robbed the same week the new pope has talked about shutting down Opus Dei. Have the police interviewed Dan Brown yet? 🤔

if we're doing spicy obamacare takes, mine is that the part everyone likes (insurers can't drop you for preexisting conditions or impose lifetime pay caps) is directly related to the part everyone hates (insurance premiums have been going up faster than inflation for 15 years)

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

He was 16ish when the ACA passed. He has no idea about the pra-ACA world except some articles he dug up.

Doesn't Silwa hate Cuomo? Feels like he would stay in out of spite.

IIRC you can block a ton of people by subscribing to a blocklist but if you stop subscribing to it everyone that was on it is still blocked and you would have to manually unblock them.

I really believe generative AI is a cognitohazard to an entire column of humanity. I don't know, there's a something it fucking does to people that displaces their own entirely-capable cognition and independence, further they seemingly cannot perceive the deficits of. This is not a moral argument.

People hate this take, but the reason why you can’t afford housing isn’t because of corporations or billionaires, but because of mom 🧑 dad 👨 grandma 👵 grandpa 👴

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
