Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I guess someone told Trump #SCOTUS is likely to void the tariffs, so he's turning up the heat. Treasury has been saying it is taking in $30B a month in all tariffs, disputed and not. Simply no way that adds to $3 trillion even if #SCOTUS waits til June to rule.

i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock
remembering the time a random catholic priest got mad at me about a hypothetical about the government restricting meat production on the other site

meat politics is going to be insane for the next Dem administration which takes climate change seriously, imo

…Aside from the fact the House has to reconvene & pass it anyway (which forces Johnson to be out of bs excuses re Grijalva), we’re gonna do this again in a few months, & the most vulnerable 2026 Senate Dem (Ossoff) voted no, regardless of this not being nothing & still being Republicans’ fault.

the numbers are all fake and I don't understand why we are all stuck pretending any of this makes sense?!?
so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement

my out of pocket cost: $473

what my insurance paid: $4258

what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692
I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

While I mostly loved Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (why in the world was the ending so rushed after so sumptuous a movie?) I was almost completely taken out of it when Paige from Degrassi showed up.

Advent is _in advance_ of Christmas, the 12 days of Christmas _start_ on Christmas and continue to Twelfth Night and Epiphany.
The 12 Days of Christmas “advent calendars” piss me off.

Advent marks the fourth Sunday before Christmas until, well, Christmas. Modern calendars go from Dec 1 to the 24th.

The twelve days refer to Dec 25 to Jan 6.

These are different timespans!

How does one get a compensation bump from $56 billion to $1 trillion? Like, hey boss, last year I made 50k, so this year I think it should be $1 million.

Please everyone do NOT trust “TrackAIPAC” that lumps them together and also randomly doesnt count JStreet when Jstreet funds their fave.

They do hate each other.
an occasional reminder that while JStreet and AIPAC are both lobbying groups for Israel they are not the same and in fact fucking hate each other

Not that it matters, but the “sue the government, collect $500k” provision effectively violates the 27th amendment
