The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle

“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The President’s threats don’t hold legal water.

The Maine Human Rights Act already makes it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity—including in education.

As the Governor put it: We’ll see him in court.

Until that day, Maine will continue to uphold federal and state law. (6/6)

I saw retro. was trending today. It’s a photo app that is private and only shared among friends. I downloaded it but it asked for my contact list to find friends, which felt intrusive so I didn’t do it. Then that’s as far as I got.

Hello Flashes! Trying this out for the first time. I still wish it could be a private account. Sharing photos with strangers makes me uncomfortable. But Meta and Zuckerberg can fuck right off. Anyway, here’s a picture of me enjoying hot pot with my face obscured!

I know I saw this movie, but I can’t remember anything about it. Also, have you seen Out of Bounds, starring Anthony Michael Hall? Siouxsie Sioux is in it, but that is all I remember about it.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024.

The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth.

When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
