I happen to take protonix, and have for years. On Medicare I pay $12.72 for a three month supply. On TrumpRX I would pay $600.30. This doesn't strike me a much of a deal.

Honestly, I taught 3rd graders last year and even the one struggling with math would have calculated this better.

As promised...

this guy was a methlete not a mathlete

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

Holy f*cking sh*t. 🙄

What are your thoughts on this?

tRump's illegal tariffs jacked up prices on everything — and you paid the bill at checkout.
Then the Supreme Court struck them down, so corporations are lining up for $166 BILLION in refunds from the government.

The world is at this madman’s mercy His ego got him in and it prevents him from leaving.

WARREN: So those massive discounts--

RFK Jr: Massive. 600 percent

WARREN: 600 percent! They can pay hundreds of dollars on TrumpRx or they can get it for $12 as Costco

The war was lost when the objective became: "Let's go back to how things were pre-war."

The source for the news became: "Trust me bro".

And the entire plan is now: "Let's see what happens."

“a legal question to be decided by a court, not a "fact" question to be decided by experts”
“a legal question to be decided by a court, not a "fact" question to be decided by experts”

I do think we’re heading back toward a splintered, self-governed internet of smaller communities, but, man, getting there is gonna be a ride.

The Internet started to deteriorate the moment big business realized they could funnel everyone into the same room so they could scrape data and advertise to them at the expense of small, splintered, self-governed communities gathered around like experiences and motivated only by shared interests.

When I was like 8 or 9 years old my top visited website (besides neopets) was the Katamari on the Web forums. I miss that

I Was Redistricted Twice. I Still Stood With Virginia. Texas broke the rules. Virginia answered. Everything else is noise.

Yes, I was redistricted twice. Yes, I hate it. And yes, I cut commercials for Virginia's redistricting effort and I'm proud of it. Here's why the GOP meltdown today is pure hypocrisy:

How natural hydrogen, hiding deep in the Earth, could serve as a new energy source Hydrogen demand around the world is projected to grow significantly by 2050. Some of that supply could come from nature itself.

Unlike hydrogen from industrial processes, natural hydrogen forms thru geological reactions that occur normally within the Earth’s crust. Using it for energy doesn't emit any CO2 or other human‑caused pollutants.

How protecting wilderness could mean purposefully tending it, not just leaving it alone For decades, wilderness lands have been left largely unaltered by human activity. But those places are still changing, and keeping them wild and special may require action, not inaction.

>110m acres of land across the US are protected as wilderness areas.These places have been left alone for decades, in keeping w/ the 1964 Wilderness Act’s directive that they be “untrammeled by man.”

But protecting these places needs action, not inaction.

Why forest conservation is also public health   In a lowland forest in southeastern Madagascar, what was missing proved as telling as what was found. Researchers trapping small mammals in the Manombo Special Reserve caught tuft-tailed rats in the intact interior forest. In the nearby littoral forest, despite repeated efforts, they found none. The traps held black rats instead. The observation appears […]

Efforts to reduce disease risk often focus on surveillance or treatment. Yet if ecological conditions favor reservoir species, these measures address only part of the problem. Bringing ecological data into public-health work offers a way to consider underlying drivers.

flailing flailboy Preznit Fuckwit continues to flail as he searches for a magic bullet with which to end his unwinnable don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-clusterfuck-of-a-war on Iran. weak, stupid and cognitively impaired, Donny changes his strategy at least as often as he changes his diaper — but not even one of his fuckbrained schemes has come even close to working. and now he’s been reduced to just making shit up as he goes along, throwing every goddamned thing at the wall, hoping against hope that something finally sticks. spoiler alert: nothing is sticking — and Iran is eating Donny’s lunch.

Preznit Fuckwit blundered into an unwinnable war and has been outplayed by Iran. they refuse to negotiate, they won't open the Strait, they laugh at his threats, and they're ignoring his blockade. Iran is farting in his general direction. I mock it all in today's post. link is here: bit.ly/4cD4eIb

Does anyone else find it odd that amid the Ghislaine Maxwell battle to have her conviction vacated, the DOJ released multiple documents damaging to Trump from the Maxwell discovery, and Melania gave a weird press conference saying people tying her to Epstein are liars?

FAFO-
