And stop calling it the Beautiful Bill - it is the MEAN and NASTY Bill - when did America stop speaking English and start speaking NewSpeak (hint November 3, 2024)

This post is unavailable.

FFS stop calling it a Beautiful Bill - it is a MEAN and NASTY Bill - they tried it in Australia in 2014 and the Prime Minister was gone in a few weeks. Has the Ministry of Truth ruled that it will henceforth remain 1984 in America, and only NewSpeak is permitted.

“Penn Wharton, Trump's alma mater, finds that most households earning less than $51,000 will immediately see their after-tax income drop. Meanwhile, the bill boosts incomes of members of the top 1% by nearly $70,000 in the first year alone…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Compared to Singapore NZ or Australians an extra 800,000 Americans died unnecessarily because in the words of America’s sweetheart Joni Ernst - honey, “we are all going to die” - in other words everyone for themselves.

I know we all like to forget COVID, but imo it’s bonkers that politicians talk so much about increasing defence spending, yet we’ve apparently forgotten to spend any time or money guarding against a future pandemic

Nothing beautiful about it - it is One Big MEAN AND NASTY Bill Act

"California Republican Reps. David Valadao and Young Kim's districts are among the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. In an April 14 letter, both said they were against the bill if it included Medicaid cuts — but then they voted for the bill anyway..." www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Europeans know how to make raw milk products safely and they are not so stupid as to promote the drinking of raw milk like RFK.

Raw Milk Listeria@pittisit.bsky.social

Listeria from raw milk is going to be BOOMING under Trump. You know? Because freedom from regulation. Gotta get the word out. #Merica 😂

The good people of Iowa elected 2 Republican senators - as Menken said - may they get their hearts desire …. In spades.

Finally watched the Joni Ernst videos and… I mean, I…. It’s just infuriating how much they think they can get away with. They truly believe the the voters are so beaten down and so disengaged and so hopeless that they can do That to you, and still draw a salary from your money

Good point there Arron the order of 1.5 million asteroids in the main asteroid belt. To quote John Prine Poor old planet Pluto now He never stood a chance no how ……. ……Once a mighty planet there Now just an ordinary star Hanging out in Hollywood In some old funky sushi bar

I am surprised RFK didn’t recommend washing them in raw milk.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The FDA has updated an ongoing recall of tomatoes distributed in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina to its most severe warning, saying there is a higher probability that potential salmonella contamination could lead to “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

When you compare the USA to NZ Singapore or Australia you find an extra 800,000 Americans died needlessly and senselessly from Covid PS the virus really doesn’t care how stupid you are.

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

#Apple Now easy to accidentally erase all your data - Updated to macOS #macos_15_sequoia today & saw that when right clicking on a connected hard drive on the desktop, it shows the option to erase it under the eject option. This is VERY dangerous. ChatGPT must have designed the contextual menu

HOW IT HAPPENED: James Andrew Malone, the mayor of a town of 5,000, ran on education, abortion rights, and opposing Elon Musk—in a district that had *never* voted Democratic. Until tonight. Our complete write-through of his astonishing special election win in Lancaster County →

I recommend the Bolinda audiobook narrated by Kevin R Free - Kevin was born to read Murderbot (or if you prefer merderbit).

Liz Faber@lizwfab.bsky.social

Reading a book with speech-to-text, and the app pronounces “Murderbot” as “mer-DER-bit.” I will never recover from laughing this hard.

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

Oh no I am finding out that if on here you mention a certain kind of currency that is made of bits then it draws out people (or bots who knows) who are enthusiasts and will get mad at you for not being enthusiastic. I just kinda assumed that would be a Twitter exclusive thing idk.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

It would be great if someone could come forward to start defending good government, good governance, strong regulations and equitable taxation. You know, liberal democracy. Whenever you’re ready.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

It would be nice to think that all of them voted for Trump

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

We value what we can measure and use it to run our society and people’s lives and livelihoods - what we can’t measure looks on sadly and thinks we are f*ckwits.

Just got the dreaded email. University of Iowa is halting all NIH grant submissions. Losing a generation of scientists here will send the state backwards. What a travesty.
