Hey whatever-financial-firm you were: your AI-generated "15 people to not take financial advice from" ad should have had 16 examples.

I think y'all can figure out the missing 16th.

This seems like an issue on a level approaching that of the price of groceries and unavailability of housing stock.

It is simply too expensive for many, many people to live the kind of life we’ve set this country up to, essentially, require.

Something has to change.

Not sure if that’s what you were looking for, but it’s a decent, quick summary.

Intentional absurdism in the face of fascism as protest.

Also, it forces news media to show dancing blow up costumes, which runs as a hard counter to the “these places are crime-infested war zones” narrative being pushed.

I’m sure there are other reasons, too.

The Cardinals started 2-0. Then, they hosted a memorial at their stadium. They are 0-4 since.

Aaron Lerner @aaronclerner.bsky.social · 2d

The Cardinals still haven’t won a game since hosting that memorial at their stadium.

It’s fitting that this crap NFL game between the Broncos and Jets is being played at the Tottenham Hotspur Toilet Bowl.

What do we think of Tottenham?

I watch the NFL almost exclusively on RedZone or by using DVR to skip commercials.

I’m watching Broncos-Jets live, and man, there are so many commercials! The game feels so broken up.

Not enough people at this beer festival appreciate the live go-go music that is absolutely KILLING it.

DC. Magnificent city.

I’m wearing my “Everyone watches women’s sports” shirt and I have to say it attracts the absolute best people and exactly the type that I want to interact with.

Just saw a Michael Essen Ghana kit at the beer festival and you know what, I respect that.

It’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers.

An image of several gourds on a table. The gourd gourds are sitting on an orange and green plaid table runner. The gourds are several different colors, patterns sizes, and shapes, including orange, green, and yellow.

Our government is currently shutdown. Last night, I watched video of military families lined up at a food pantry because they’re missing a paycheck.

But we’re sending $20B to Argentina because some rich fucks made bad investing bets.

If you’ve bet on that, just know the truck is already on the way for your disgusting trashy ass.

some tranche of money that could go towards rebuilding all the shit they broke will instead go towards (deserved) restitution for things that could have and should have been avoided in the first place.

Aaron Lerner @aaronclerner.bsky.social · 5d

one of the things that is really pissing me off about everything (in addition to, yanno, everything generally) is how fucking expensive this is all going to be when all these people inevitably win the misconduct, discrimination, whatever lawsuits.
