Remember in Matilda when her dad gets furious that she can read and amuse herself with books, simply because he can’t stand education and his smart daughter highlights his lack of moral character and intelligence?

Brian Boston is setting the stage to end the insurance scam that is our healthcare system. If she had spoken those words to a normal person, they would have been lucky to get a restraining order.

If you're confused about Mr. Mac 10 Musolini receiving Time magazine's man of the year award just look at the history of the "Man of the year." It's been given to some of your favorite war criminals of the past, Time is a reporter of the status quo and should give you insite into the next four years

With the recent calls to terminate the IRS’s new free tax filing service, aka Direct File, I figured I would share the lobbying dollars spent by Turbo Tax's parent, Intuit. The letter making the request is attached. adriansmith.house.gov/sites/evo-s...

i do find it interesting in a bleak way that silicon valley is basically recapitulating 1920s-style american reactionary politics.
The tech bro fascination with eugenics is so on brand. The idea that you could make accurate, actionable predictions from individual genotypes (with all their complex, non-linear interactions) from averaged, linearly modeled population-level genomic statistics is just another big data fantasy

Going into 2025, I’m going need footnotes and at least three primary sources to believe anything posted on the internet.

Who looks at this and decides to give CEOs and corporations more tax breaks while threatening the safety net and labor unions?
This is not how you "fix" an economy—it's how you rig it.

In the Age of Misinformation, let's remember these headlines after the Titanic sank.
During wireless chatter, someone asked: "Are the Titanic passengers safe?” An answer came: "The ship is being towed to Halifax and everyone is ok." That 2nd transmission didnt refer to the Titanic, hence the error.

"Fascism requires allegiance to the state, which Trump lacks. The biggest threat to the US is not fascism but mafia state autocracy. Not 20th-century style dictatorship, but controlled demolition by a billionaire criminal network, abetted by complicit actors within the US government."-Sarah Kendzior
