Ah, FB memories serving up some winners. This is what an itemized $1,330,000 NICU hospital bill looks like (only 96 days to get there). The apple is there for scale. Here’s why I share it. Too many ppl don’t know abt lifetime caps and pre-existing bans. Bc the STILL-VULNERABLE ACA banned them.

ABNB was fun when it was new, before creeps, slumlords, and wealthy landlords all ruined it. I stayed in some cool places and met some awesome hosts. Now it's garbage and the founders don't care about anything beyond being yacht bois

I think one major factor in the exhaustion/disappointment around the Biden campaign is the same as what happened with the Clinton campaign in '16, namely that both candidates should be absolutely murdering Trump, stunting on him 24/7 for being a stupid asshole who hates everyone, and they're not

Want to hear something bonkers? English has an inviolable rule wrt order of adjectives: OSASCOMP. Adjectives have to be presented in the following order: opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose. Every fluent English speaker knows this intuitively but few can articulate it

Half of that gold apartment was paid for by his inheritance, the other half by the contractors he ripped off. The guy even stole from his own charity. Don’t let his Reality TV marketing fool you. This is about running a country for all of us, not driving ratings and ad revenue for a billionaire.

If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

no. roberts wrote the immunity opinion because he is a movement conservative and always has been. he seems "moderate" to dimwits because his method is to operate slowly, doing his damage with paper cuts and false humility while embedding the next step in each ruling.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and I’ll bet you haven’t seen a news article—much less a catastrophizing op-ed—about it.

Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.
