Let’s call the very average salary $66K a year. That’s what they say it is.
On that salary. It would take you 15 million years to earn $1 trillion dollars.

The most disgusting part of this pathetic display from jello-spine democrats is that a "deal" this weak could've been agreed to in under a week. So why even bother with the 40 days of pain? PRIMARY THEM NOW. CHUCK SCHUMER RESIGN.

There is no quicker way to lose faith in the future of society than paying for things in cash.
The stares. The fear of making change. The crisis of having to interpret the monetary value of a dime.

Whether you get SNAP shouldn't depend on your state, but hey, I'm glad to see it, Oregon.
NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts.

I hesitate to feel any hope relative to politics with the way the world seems to work of late, but man, as one of The Olds who vividly remembers the 2000s, it is incredible to see a progressive Muslim man as mayor of NYC.
Well done, NYC, and good luck, Mayor Mamdani.

The bagel shop in my town gives a free bagel and coffee to anyone who needs it every morning. It's a lovely community service.
Here I am thinking how I should give the bagel shop some money since SNAP benefits are about to run out and those bagels will be essential agents of mutual aid.

I've been a bit speechless on Bsky lately. The world continues to turn, outrageous and unacceptable things continue to happen, meanwhile my personal life continues to serve as a startling contrast of joy and potential.
Such is the state of things here in my surreal late 2025 world.

Spend an hour and a half working on my WIP, cleaning up a couple things in a previously-written chapter. Feeling accomplished after a couple weeks away from the page.

Someone needs to take the big red "war" button away from fascist grandpa.
Trump questioned perception of Portland before approving military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Good guy Bernie Sanders standing up for physicians in training. 💙
The resident physicians at Howard University Hospital make history by carrying on Howard's vital legacy.
They should not have to work second jobs and be paid the lowest wages of residents in the District of Columbia.
I call on Howard to reach a fair contract.

President Trump and his deputies tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, presented a cancer drug as a possible treatment, and said the FDA would change labeling to reflect both claims. Ther...

Important topic. I have thoughts. First, even if we call it "AI Delusional Disorder," delusions are a feature of psychosis, and delusional disorder is a psychotic disorder, so I would indeed categorize it as a psychosis. (1/5)

AI Psychosis Is Rarely Psychosis at All
A wave of AI users presenting in states of psychological distress gave birth to an unofficial diagnostic label. Experts say it’s neither accurate nor needed, but concede that it’s likely to stay.

Experiencing satisfying story craft is one of life's great pleasures. Dexter: Resurrection Episode 9 was *the stuff,* y'all. Not perfect. Ridiculous and unrealistic, sure. And yet...so delicious.
