Yesterday a couple Congressmen introduced a bill that would cap utility CEO bonuses if they raise utility rates higher than inflation and, at least as designed, makes some other information available about the ratio of CEO to median worker pay.

She looked out. The profile of a demon lord decorated the city's skyline.
She sighed; did the pose. The goddess lifted her, transformed her into a magical girl.
She beat the demon into a pulp, then faced the harder battle: to return to her seventy-year old body, with aching knees and knuckles.

Reminder for the winter disease season: DO NOT PUT TAP OR EVEN BOTTLED WATER UP YOUR NOSE
You need to use distilled water or thoroughly boiled water in a neti pot or sinus cleaner. You do not want to give yourself brain-eating amoebas

This is unironcially one of my favorite scenes in that book. 😂 When I read it after Donna wrote it I laughed and I laugh every time. 6 people with guns pointed at each other and that crazy fucker is eating apples like he's attending the theater.
There's a bit in Deal with the Devil where everyone is pointing a gun at everyone else, and Gray is just standing there, eating some freeze-dried apples and casually observing the incipient violence.
That is how you know Gray is the scariest one.

The term “unskilled worker” was invented to make it seem normal that people working 40+ hours a week are still living paycheck to paycheck.
It’s not normal AND it’s not acceptable.

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth.
According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines.

Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.
Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

The place I work for has a private health insurance plan with no network. Theoretically I can see any doctor. In practice many are confused about it and I have to convince them they'll get paid. Some still refuse to take me. The idea that people could shop around for the cheapest care is laughable.
