I used to have a paycheck, a brain and a social life but now I'm spending my late 30s alone bankrupt and in worse mental health than ever so I'm having a hard time relating to any of this...

Now smiling, Hutz continues: "and, 'Nothing Matters'!"

These thoughts always send me down this uncomfortable philosophical spiral

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

it's not like I was hurting anybody...

Sometimes I wonder what happened to Sibe

... how many of the people exposed in those zoosadism leaks a few years ago are now in the US government...?

I wear an invisible collar My whole life I've been tugged around and choked I'm afraid of letting people close. I don't want them to touch it I can't take it off but I'm learning how to hold my own leash

Invisible collar.

Noita kicked my ass so many times I gave up but I'd give it another go if I had a pony mod

Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.

I'm gonna be sick. Paypal just closed my account. I've been doing business with them for over 15 years and my whole business is basically run through them.

idk what I'm going to do, that was so much of my livelihood.

A lot of people also don't realize that the only people making survival money off youtube are the the absolute most popular accounts at the very top. The vast, vast majority of people on youtube make -nothing- even with hundreds of thousands of views

“Some of the studies are testing new treatment regimens for drug- resistant tuberculosis,” I explained, hoping I could convey the very real danger in terms that would register with this audience. “Thousands of enrolled patients are at risk now that their lifesaving treatment is stopped. But that’s not the only danger. We only have limited options to treat drug- resistant TB. We’re using our antibiotics of last resort in these trials. Interrupting treatment midstream risks the development of new, even more drug-resistant strains that could be untreatable. For an airborne infectious disease, that is a serious national security risk.” Adam thought for a moment and then responded, noting that the political appointees at USAID were “not health people.” It would be hard, he surmised, for nonexperts to understand this issue. And so he suggested that we draft a simple, “Barney-style” set of slides to help the political leadership grasp the dangers, referring to the purple dinosaur of children’s television. He recommended that we use the term “Super TB” instead of “drug- resistant TB” to describe the mutations that can develop when treatment is interrupted, because it might be more likely to “catch their attention.”

A Trump guy who was part of the team dismantling USAID didn't think political appointees could grasp the concept of drug-resistant tuberculosis so he asked workers to explain it as "Super TB" in "Barney-style" slides.

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them

This is another very excellent point made on the site about why this is important.

Remember we are talking about the 2nd biggest tech company in the world valued at around 3.8 Trillion...

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

This conversation was about people being ordered back to work next to a dead body and whether they should have walked out instead. I don't recall it being suggested at any point that someone had an opportunity to prevent the death and didn't. Obviously if you can save their life you should do so.

Have you ever been in a position where a missed paycheck could mean death? If you haven't I wouldn't suggest judging the workers so harshly...

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.

For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.

One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
