Marketing mind by trade, guerrilla artist at heart. Seeker of dopamine, fire-lit nights, and all things weirdly wonderful.
Today’s unsolicted opinion: there are no decent covers of Erasure’s “Oh, L’Amour.” Andy Bell may be the only human ever capable of conveying that amount of soul stirring yearning, longing, betrayal, & wanting to be seen as worthy by your heart’s desire, while compelling you to dance the night away.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.
Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

Here is a good suggestion for folks.
Just me, sending my health insurance network a letter asking how they are going to pro-actively protect our medical records in the event that the government makes moves to seize them, given the past and current events that indicate that the elimination of HIPAA protections is imminent, including:

My favorite deeply nerdy thread of the day.
In traditional European heraldry, there are colors and metals (silver/white, gold/yellow). The rule is you never put a metal on a metal, or a color on a color.
It's a rule for readability reasons - you want contrast. You want to be able to read it clearly on a battlefield. That said, it's a rule.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.
1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

I mean Facebook did ban onions in 2020 for being to suggestive.
First, I must free the onions from their fishnets, which they wear because onions are among the sexiest of veggies, altho phallic produce propaganda would try to convince us otherwise.
