Hard not to see "MAHA", destabilization of FDA approval processes, and the push for HSAs that cover everything but proven, effective healthcare goods & services as a massive wealth transfer to grifters

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

It actually totally makes sense that out of the crucible of reactionary social life in the United States in 2025, Ludology vs. Narratology would find itself reemerging. US academia has maybe never been more reactionary, except maybe when it was explicitly trying to root out communists.

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

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.
