Everyone make sure to call the office of Virginia Foxx to tell her that you're happy she had a restful vacation, and that you hope she'll be able to resume her vacation again after being rudely interrupted by work.

The problem with saying that "it's not helpful" when people go "I told you so" about shit like the TGAs is that the people who go "it's not helpful" then... don't listen the next time they're told, either. Or the time after that. Or ever. And then they're shocked and amazed that they've been fucked.

We live in the richest country in the history of the world, and we’re the only wealthy nation that doesn’t guarantee health care. Now we’re arguing over whether people deserve food. Explain it to me like I’m five because I don’t get it.

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.

Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

The more you charge, the less you sell, and then the business owners bitch and moan about the lack of customers.
The restaurant where I order my poke bowl changed their ingredients and upped the price. So I get less fresh food, more ultra processed crap, AND I have to pay more for that 🙄

So fine, I bought everything I need to make them now because fuck that shit

Like $25 for a rice bowl like come on

After being laid off I rely solely on ACA marketplace plans to help cover my medications and some of my doctors.

If I can't afford my medication, I will die.
This is not an exaggeration.
Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

The one single thing twitter still has going for it - if you post on it about how much Elon Musk sucks, there's a really good chance he'll see it and it'll hurt his feelings.
Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

I love how these weak Dems are praising that they voted to get federal workers who were fired, re-hired with back pay, and that SNAP will be funded.

As winter approaches, a reminder that if you're a conservative, you should keep your stupid fucking mouth shut about energy prices and how cold you are when a blizzard knocks out your power.

My family by and large has never understood this idea that you'd go spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a brand new set of uncomfortable clothing for a funeral.

Do it if you want, but it's already a shit time, why would you make it even worse?

Sporting is universally corrupt, I don't know how this is surprising to anyone.
In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.

Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.

Or it’s creating it.

Either answer is terrible for sports.

It'd be great to see all the local businesses in all these people's districts permanently bar them from entry, but unfortunately most of the local businesses are run by people who are just as dogshit as the national businesses.
