You know in Europe they riot about this kind of thing.
A new investigation has revealed that grocery delivery service Instacart is using a covert, AI-powered dynamic pricing scheme to charge customers different prices for the same items — potentially costing households over $1,000 more a year.
Instacart Reportedly Using Secret AI-Powered Dynamic Pricing to Jack Up Prices
In an experiment, investigators found that the same grocery basket at a Seattle store cost between $114 and $124.

287 kids died last flu season. not too late to get everyone their flu shots!
6/ Pediatric flu vaccination continues to fall, now at 35.8%, a 23% drop since 2019. Adult rates remain steady, but still below national goals of 70%. After a year of federal chaos, shifting CDC messaging, and low perceived risk, urgency has evaporated, which is unsurprising.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.
These are the people I'm remembering today.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.
This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

He is manifestly unwell and should resign, for that reason alone, though there are other good reasons to do so. I hope his family can get him to see reason again.
Sen. John Fetterman was hospitalized after falling near his Pennsylvania home and sustaining “minor injuries” to his face, the senator's spokesperson said.

99% of trans people I've met feel exactly this way
despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I guess I'm the crazy one for thinking that being extra careful around nazi symbols and those who wear them is a good idea. Totally paranoid.
It's not like there has been a massive resurgence of neo-fascism in this country... 🙄😮💨
