Y’all I just found this app One Sec and might be the first thing that’s going to actually help break some screen addiction stuff. It’s. So. Helpful. Does this lil doodle every time I open Instagram. Slows me down enough to be intentional. Brilliant.

Or @Lowes @HomeDepot @HomeDepotFound @Walmart feel like making some donations? You all have stores within 20 minutes of major disaster zones in Vermont right now.

We're a week into the floods in Vermont and people's basements are JUST starting to get dry enough for dehumidifiers and fans to be in high demand. Any brands want to step up and donate some to the worst natural disaster in 100 years!?

BREAKING: New analysis finds that 465 billionaires had pumped $881,000,000 into the 2022 federal midterm elections by October.

That's 27x more than they contributed before Citizens United was decided.

By the time this cycle is over, their donations could climb to $1 billion.

One of the quickest paths
to an open heart
is to recognize how
much courage it takes
to live a life. Any life.

To choose to see
that courage in others.
And to choose
to see it in ourselves.

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

Incredibly unserious that anyone is still talking about inflation like we’re not just being price-gouged to hell

Alaska's snow crab season has been canceled for the first time in the state's history. An estimated 1 billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared, which is a 90% drop in their population. This is a major blow to America's seafood industry and could cost the economy $200 million.

Overdraft fees were created in 1990.

Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks

They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume

Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed

Here’s examples of just how good they were

Queue is such a great word. The actual important letter, and then four more silently waiting behind it in a line.
