Musk's Efficiency Department is highly inefficient. And it’s probably asking too much of cowboy CEOs to know that the government already has an agency to cut waste or that it clawed back $74 billion in fiscal 2023 alone. Via @keds-economist.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I had a long and stressful day. I fear the first of many. But being here has actually made me feel BETTER. Thanks to everyone who makes this a good place.

I have been purchasing health insurance under the ACA since its inception in 2014. I cannot stress enough what a relief this has been for me. Today I scheduled everything I could think of over the next couple of months in the event that I lose my coverage.

So one of my favorite things about being on here so far is there are lots of posts about libraries in my feed. Heavenly.
You might not know this but your local library probably has an app where you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks, for free! Some have apps that let you borrow digital comics too.
My library subscribes to Borrowbox and it's great, I constantly have 2-3 audiobooks on loan.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.
