I'm not here to be followed, I'm here to keep in touch with what people I want to hear are saying, and maybe say some stuff myself. Set your expectations accordingly.

It shouldn't be possible to fucking waterboard this out of them, but they'll just admit it.
🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.
If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

Kaine says he thinks Johnson will have no choice but to take up the subsidies if it passes through the Senate. "And if it comes out of here bipartisan, he cannot not take it up without having November 2026 make November 2025 look like a picnic."

"We must win." So, why exactly did you allow a fucking surrender to the foe, a surrender that will kill people who might otherwise have been able to vote for you? Fucking resign if this is your level. If you won't fight when you're winning, get out of the fucking way.
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

Call me a killjoy, but I don't think "carefully engineering the thing to abuse a loophole" is a thing that the fucking FAA should have to tolerate.
How A Loophole Lets You Fly This Electric VTOL Without A Pilot's License - Jalopnik
The FAA has a loophole that allows pilots to fly ultralight aircraft without a license. The planes must meet specific weight and speed requirements to qualify.

TIL that blood platelets have serotonin receptors, which is why anemia can mimic depression symptoms and that is absolutely fucking fascinating.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Having one of those "reevaluate everything" moments from this. Oof. Does a lot of explaining.
still fleshing out this theory (pun intended, I guess?) but there is so much magical and symbolic thinking going on when people talk about "nutrition"
people seem to food as a source of not just potential biological contagion, but social, and, even weirder, symbolic contagion via sympathetic magic
