Gee, Universal Basic Income recoups more than it costs AND the recipients are happier and healthier.
Hmmm. Where have I seen those results before? Oh yes, in every other goddam pilot study of UBI for more than a decade. Ireland joins Finland in at least making a start.

This. Don't yell at staff members who have no say in the decision-making coming out of corporate, yell at corporate and make it clear to them working with transphobes is BAD for their their bottom line.
Also, if you are appalled by the potential of HP Magic or D&D, your best bet isn't to demand answers from random designers on social media—who can be fired for commenting—it's to send PHYSICAL LETTERS and make actual PHONE CALLS to Hasbro's corporate headquarters, denouncing the entire partnership.

The flu and pneumonia kill over 45,000 people a year. Moderna developed a new mRNA flu vaccine for people 50 and older--who are most at risk. Prasad, unilaterally, against the recommendation of experts within the agency, denied Moderna's appplication. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...
Prasad overruled FDA staff to reject Moderna's flu vaccine application
The rejection is the latest instance of Vinay Prasad overruling career FDA scientists to place vaccines under harsher scrutiny.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.
