the thing that becomes more and more unbelievable every year when we watch National Lampoons Xmas Vacation is that there was a time when employees regularly received xmas bonuses

came here to say the same. 10k lumens, proven in studies to help with SAD. even if not depressed it helps you feel more awake (as someone who used it to stay awake to study in med school in the depths of michigan winter)

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Even if we survive and recover from this descent into fascism, I hope we do NOT regain the outsized power and influence we once had. I have more hope for a just world if USA is not in charge

I think this is probably for the best. America has been colonizing and pillaging the rest of the world for at least a century, and our becoming less central will likely help the world overall

Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution.

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

my (white, male) coworker spent 46+ hours trying to get AI to make our call schedule for 2026 but it had so many errors it’s unusable. doing by hand took ~8hr. this feels like a parable.

it does, but it unfortunately probably won’t include the medical care you actually need when you (inevitably) get sick

tis the season where i tell all medicare eligible people that literally no physician or medical provider i know would recommend a medicare advantage plan…only to be met with blank stares and the response “but it includes dental”

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

In anticipation of 🧠🪱’s b.s. “autism cure” announcement today (& the eugenics baked in it)

Remember: Autistic voices must be at the center of these convos

TLDR: Autism = human diversity, not a flaw to erase. We, autistic or not, all need support to thrive 🫶
