A valuable service for all.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Musk's DOGE has metastasized into govt agencies.
"DOGE exists to help the extraction class disguise corruption, cronyism,& the brutal dismantling of consumer protection, labor rights, & the social safety net as as "innovative efficiency reforms" @karlbode.com 1/4/25

DOGE is gone, leaving behind 300,000 fired federal workers, 600,000 USAID deaths, and more
Here's everything DOGE did that affected the LGBTQ+ community at home and abroad.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

This postcard from Picasso is up for auction. I don't really care too much about Picasso but the squiggly Lee Miller signature in the corner makes me swoon!

Our government is choosing to side with corporate profit over our collective health (AGAIN).

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

Deleted my account in January, I commend removing yourself from the hate machine
Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.

'Logan's Rock, St Levan,' (c1916) perfectly demonstrates the height of Laura Knight’s development in Cornwall, this work is part of a series of paintings she composed between 1915 and 1919 all sharing an elevated viewpoint, dramatic diagonal composition and vibrant colour.

They really are going with "you and your neighbor both paid $10,000 for health insurance last year and that mooch got a heart transplant while you got bupkiss! Is that fair?".
I wonder if we're far enough past the uninsured / preexisting condition days that voters will fall for it?

Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.
