adhd literally isn’t our fault it’s fucking genetic
I see Hadley Freeman is back on her horse about ADHD/autism. Only this time she is obviously far more aware of the reality than...checks notes, the actual expert. Does she ever get bored of just churning out the same old ignorant attacks on different groups?

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

The boys, for the unaware, are two teens whom I functionally adopted when their grandmother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Their mom is great, and loves that they have a fairy geekmother who understands their weird shit and is willing to enable them finding it.

Just got my first perfect DDR score of the season! I'm still sticking to "easy" songs with minimal air: sometimes I tell my body to jump and it just says "no." But given that my knee is just recently recovered, this is for the best! No overtraining injuries!

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

Really struggling to determine which awful Trump administration policy will kill more people
The illicit war brewing with Venezuela, the RFK anti-vaccination CDC panel (which just recommended against Hepatitis B shots for newborns) or stripping away healthcare insurance from millions of Americans

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with.
It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.
