I know 5 people with my birthday. Including one of my high school besties and my god mother. It’s lovely.
Let me ask y’all something. How do you feel about having the same birthday as someone you know?

A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay.
Nope.
Nope.

Has anyone called you a "merchant of eel skin" lately? If so, you should take offense.
In premodern England, that was an insult. It meant you were a fraud: making promises you can't keep. Like a vendor trying to sell an eel but not having the meat. A living weasel word! 1/7

The last year was very hard as my father was dying. It became that much harder when I discovered that AI played a role in amplifying his physical pain, and perhaps hastening the end of his life. It wasn’t easy to write about what happened, but I’ve tried.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

"7 years?? jfc I'LL DO IT." - these beavers
2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments.
One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million
After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”

Some users I just avoid because they make great points but they always lean on sanism & I’m like how can I support you when you’re hurting my feelings because everything’s psychotic & everyone’s insane as a colorful descriptor for you?
