Hi. HELLO. About that BOI filing that some of you are starting to receive notices about - double check that letter/email/phone call for details because it could be a scam.
To be clear, filing a BOI is a legit thing that some businesses will need to do, but the FILING IS FREE

Just started this weeks @99pi.org episode and Roman Mars describing his first experience with THAT tunnel in O'Hare is making me so nostalgic. My first experience with THAT tunnel was on a flight heading back to college, delirious after a red eye, and feeling like I was hallucinating. It was magic.

Yes. If you ever think banks should be allowed to cut off financial services for "morality" reasons, just note that neither Epstein's pedophilia, nor Miller's Nazism, nor RFK Jr's eugenics, nor Musk's destruction of USAID caused banks any "moral" concerns whatsoever.
We cannot allow financial institutions which regularly cross the line from amoral to explicitly immoral to hold a dehumanizing line against people who do sex work.
I don't believe for a moment that this debanking effort is because of Ana's sex work rather than her reporting, but also even if that was the reason it shouldn't be allowed.
None of the content Ana has ever made is illegal. There is no justification to cut her off from the banking system.

Nestlé is still adding sugar to most baby cereals sold across Africa, according to an investigation by campaigners who have accused the company of “putting the health of African babies at risk for profit”.
The food firm was accused of “double standards” over the researchers’ findings, which come at a time when rates of childhood obesity are rising on the continent, prompting calls for Nestlé to remove all added sugar from baby-food products. Continue reading...
