Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I'd rather dress up to go to the dining car on a high speed train.

Being able to repair, replace, and maintain your mode of transportation is vital to your mobility independence.

Compared to the costs associated with automotive tools and specialty equipment, working on your bicycle is relatively inexpensive.

i reluctantly tried Free Tax USA after a long time of using TurboTax bc it was so easy... turns out Free Tax USA was basically just as easy and doesn't spend a ton of money lobbying for shitty tax systems!
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

When you leave in a car you’re thinking “what’s the fastest way to get there?”

When I leave on my bike I’m thinking “what’s the safest way to get there?”

We are not the same
