Mom is super mad at me. Her thing lately is running water in the sink and walking away from it. Twice it's been hot water when I've been in the tub and like, I was like "HEY!" but telling her she did something wrong sets her off and like, now she won't put her hearing aids in.

Remember kids, when you're a total fucking loser, being part of the master race is much more appealing than actually working on yourself.

So, all the Republican "Youth" guys in that leaked chat are in their late 20s to mid 30s.

Dismissing them as "dumb kids" illustrates a fundamental truth that white male supremacy fundamentally infantilizes men. All those dudes are stuck in a permanent state of immature chudhood.

"Business realities" - The wealth class will never give a damn about us. This is the framing I saw go by on the LinkedIn newsfeed yesterday.

"Surprises" - as if it isn't terrifying to have the rug pulled out from under you at the end of a long life. Fuck all these guys.

Medicare's 2026 enrollment period begins Wednesday and covered seniors should expect surprises, experts say. Many out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Advantage will have higher caps, and more than a million enrollees could see their current plans eliminated entirely. Industry experts suggest seniors check if their preferred doctors remain accessible, since many are leaving Medicare Advantage networks. What's behind the changes? Pure "business realities," says The Wall Street Journal: Insurers are looking to salvage profits they've lost due to regulatory changes and higher medical spending.

FFS. Never sell your soul.
