it’s so funny how everyone is always sick and always talking about getting sick and if i couch my mask wearing as a covid thing they shut down immediately but if i tell them I haven’t gotten sick since 2019 you can kinda see something clunk into place in their heads

If the most significant driving force behind inflation is landlords continually hiking rents, you can't fight inflation without rent control. It's been years of this nonsense and it's driving me nuts.

Governments have no problem sending militarized police to crack the skulls of students but have no idea how to deal with price gouging and the petroleum industry.

This is the letter 12 US senators have sent to ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan.
