  • Australian ban on fish-shaped plastic soy sauce dispensers a world first

  • No, you can't blame consumers for corporations bad behavior, consumers act in their own self interest, not a collective self interest. This is precisely why we have regulations.

  • I pay $15k a year health insurance for my family, it only kicks in after I spend $5k, and a doctor can say I require one thing and the insurance can reject it

  • My mom had a spinal fusion in the 90s which she got in debt for.

    About 15 years ago my lung spontaneously collapsed. Several surgeries later, the bill was $315,000. I was on Obamacare because of the mandate, thank god. I paid $19.

    My mom found out and told me I "deserved to go bankrupt" because people like her had struggled for so long with their medical bills.

    I don't speak to her anymore

  • '3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the time

  • One of the first things I did with my 3D printer was create wood screws - as in, screw made out of wood plastic. Fun pocket giveaway.

  • Angry constituents confront Congress on immigration, Medicaid cuts and Gaza

  • Corruption light and Corruption heavy. I have clear preferences if given the choice.

  • This is how I always was.

    Then I sat down in Vegas at a machine and pulled a few times, while my husband sat next to me.

    Every time he lost, I won.

    A half hour later, I'm up $80 and vowing never to do this again, cause it suddenly makes sense.

    Now I can't hear the "Kroger Top-of-the-Hour Conditioning" noise without getting a slight dopamine rush.

  • Three years of building no-code software for political organizations

    Jump

  • This is interesting. I've been setting up our non-profit's new grant-funded Azure VM, then Wordpress site, then CiviCRM, then hardening it all, and I'm hoping to offer this as a (volunteer) turnkey service to a few other nonprofits in town. And it's amazing to me how many hours this still takes, and how out of reach it is for the average nonprofit.

  • Dems gonna Dem

    Jump

  • The GOP spent 40 years building a Big Tent Coalition. Their message was simple - if you share some of our values, you're one of us.

    The Dems have spent the past 10 years building a Shrinking Tent. Their message is now simple - unless you share every single value, down to a specific level of support for each community, you're not one of us.

    And look who's winning.

  • I am the donor for a lesbian couple. I'm pretty involved in my son's life. I took him for his third haircut. Midway through, he was bored, and shooting me one of the angriest looks I've ever gotten from him. I took a pic and sent it to his mom.

    "Oh god look how mad he is, give him your phone!"

    What? He's being quiet and learning how to be patient while a haircut happens. Some parents think reality is a BAD substitute for devices, it seems.

    At least one night a week, he comes to my house and plays without any screens. We talk and explore the world.

  • After a Tesla driver plowed into a young Florida couple in 2019, Tesla executives said they had no data about the crash. Then a hacker found it.

  • Years ago it would have been, now it's an invitation to reshape the federal government

  • Newsom launches statewide task force to clear homeless encampments

  • What do you think Trump will do to poor people?

    This is every bit the Dems who refused to vote Kamala because of her Palestinian stance - a purity test that helped ensure Trump won, and we'd sit and do nothing as a genocide occurred. But we sure showed Kamala, huh

  • Newsom launches statewide task force to clear homeless encampments

    Jump

  • He's redistricting California which, now TWO red states are doing, but only one blue state has accomplished. Will any others?

  • Newsom launches statewide task force to clear homeless encampments

    Jump

  • Gavin has done what no one else is doing, punching back, speaking Trump's language. It's getting attention from all quarters. Meanwhile Dems are busy shutting him down preemptively because purity tests. It's another fascinating move from the "we don't want to govern" party.

  • Ding ding ding

    One day I looked at the Everytown for Gun Safety placard in my window and realized, this is the problem too, we need to yield some battles to not cede the war.

    But that was when there was still hope for that

  • OpenAI says it's scanning users' ChatGPT conversations and reporting content to the Police

  • Oh thank god I was afraid some more kids might not get talked into suicide by a fucking server

  • Dead reddit theory

    Jump

  • I wrote a very fiery letter that I'm sure a bot deleted about how it cheapened the phrase "violence" to have it be slung casually around at speech their shareholders don't love.

  • The entire US Social Security database was uploaded on a random cloud server, Whistle-Blower Says

  • The simple act of comparing signatures meant that it was very difficult to randomly target people. We don't have anything like that today, like a key/token pair.

  • LPT: Go get a shot, now.

  • You don't act like they do - just the money hoarding beyond belief, not to mention releasing products they know cause mental harm - if you want everyone to be OK.

  • RFK Jr. Vowed to Find the Environmental Causes of Autism. Then He Shut Down Research Trying to Do Just That.

  • Down to the head wound and everything, this is why I think simulation theory has weight. Revelations was written about contemporary politics of the day, yet we are now getting an odd accounting of it, reality itself seems to be acting different than it did a decade ago. This is the point in the game where they just add crazy shit to see what happens (he's a child rapist but that makes him more popular)
