Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

thread about homelessness and the experience of being homeless
This thread is fucking wild
My stance on euthanasia is really one of those things that I’ve started questioning a lot over the past few years. Grew up with it sort of being liberal common sense (which, well, says a lot) but you read how it’s actually being deployed and damn..

So apparently childish Gambino didn't pay the woman who's on the cover of Awaken my love her residuals.

Feel like I can share my story about BetterHelp. During a particularly dark time and being affected by Israeli lobbyist attacks on me and my livelihood, feeling paralysed, lost, I signed up to trial online therapy.

Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at $1,390 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce.
That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

I commented on her video to say we had done the first undercover investigation into factories supplying clothes to Shein which provided video evidence of laws being broken - they aren't just rumours. She has since deleted all of the comments and moved the video to her reels... https://t.co/ZmvE9oZfLc— Ιman Amrani | ايمان (@ImaniAmrani) June 26, 2023

to save some nickels Hertz mindlessly reported 1000s of cars stolen a year and got dozens of people arrested and jailed.
