Super fucking cool that this hasn't changed since I got laid off (the first time) in 2001
Laid off in September as a direct result of tarrifs.

$960/mo to continue with Anthem PPO for 18 months on COBRA.

$1500/mo to move to ACA with a decent HMO, but nowhere close to the coverage of the Anthem PPO.

Welcome to the barrel, BBC.
‘The BBC don’t realise that these people want their destruction.’

Why are right-wing media outlets so 'exercised' by the editing of a Panorama documentary? James O’Brien has an idea.

MTG is banking on voters, saying, “sure, she’s a boorish oaf, but she’s talking about our problems in ways the GOP establishment doesn’t…plus, she’s super racist like me”

This is literally how Trump TROUNCED the Republican field in 2026. She is positioning herself as outside of “the swamp”

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

The difference between paying rent and paying on a 50-year mortgage is.... a shitload of maintenance costs and risk. But in both cases you have essentially no equity!

I’m no statistician, but if you buy your first house in your 30s on a 50-year mortgage, and life expectancy is low 80s, isn’t this just called — rent?

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask:
•Did men ruin safe workplaces?
•Did men ruin domestic safety?
•Did men ruin public safety?
•Did men ruin global peace?
Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

How does one invest in left-wing media without a far-right billionaire coming along in a few years, buying said media, and remodeling it in his own image?

That seems to be a recurring problem.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.

DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)

So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.
