Means testing and sussing out freeloaders tends to cost just as much as if we'd just let it go, honor system style! So exasperating.

I never knew this is *actually* where the term Luddite came from/meant
An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

I’m being that headass cat person and going to get my little beans matching Christmas pajamas. I was convinced I’d need to get XXS because they’re still just kittens but I think they’ll be big enough for XS by then 🥹

Oowee this thread is very relevant to a conversation I had yesterday
A cool thing about the Dems being absolutely useless institution-fuckers is that if they did gain control again, they'll look at the mutilated, broken remnants of the FDA and NSF and such as sacred and reject out of hand any suggestion they need to be changed.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Another reminder to get my doctor to run the deeper blood and iron tests on me, because it might all be more connected than I thought
TIL that blood platelets have serotonin receptors, which is why anemia can mimic depression symptoms and that is absolutely fucking fascinating.
