Reading @zitron.bsky.social’s latest newsletter, I have had to put on my ALL THE SKA playlist to counteract all the anger remembering Jack Welch has done/inspired. I had *totally* forgotten that miserable pigfucker was responsible for stack ranking. www.wheresyoured.at/tss/

"If the top 1 percent of income earners in America just paid all the federal income taxes they owed, we could raise an additional $175 billion a year. That’s 38 times what it would cost to provide a bed to every person experiencing unsheltered homelessness in America."

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you

the fact that we can look at most major problems with our lives and guess "this is the fault of private equity" - and have that actually be correct a shockingly large percentage of the time - is an excellent reason to regulate the industry into the ground

As both a professional archaeologist of 10 years and a political activist, this is fucking dumb, but if this is the thing you're mad about just know that if the A303 judicial review fails this year we're going to dig a 2 mile long tunnel through the site and get it stripped of World Heritage status.

Chiro is quackery. They're not back specialists. At most all they do is endorphins that relax you short term. At worst, ridiculously dangerous. But it's not based in science. Stop treating chiroquacktors like it is. And FFS don't do it on babies!

New report: More than 200 symptoms tied to long COVID.

"While there is evidence that many people with Long COVID symptoms have improved by 12 months, data beyond that time frame is limited but suggestive that recovery might plateau or progress at a slower rate"

Economist: “The Government has clearly signalled its values with this Budget. Short-term benefits for some in the form of tax cuts will come at the cost of long-term borrowing, rising child poverty, and increasing insecurity from challenges such as climate change and rising unemployment.” #NZpol
