I've been waiting for the anti-dog crusade currently gripping New York for YEARS. Let's keep this going we need to start throwing tomatoes at owners who bring their dogs to restaurants

@blgtylr If you have ethical concerns with Spotify, it doesn't really make sense to move to Apple Music of all platforms

@chrisota Woah it's so eerie now. How did you get in?

If you will rightfully call violence against embassy workers in unacceptable but will not call violence against Palestinian toddlers unacceptable, you don't believe violence is unacceptable, you believe that certain lives matter and others don't

Indians don't view America as a home but as a resource to be exploited.

Agreed.

Last week, I went to my local bodega for a Philly cheese steak sandwich. To my shock, Pablo, my absolute boy and sandwich maker extraordinaire, told me:

"No hay más Philly cheese steak, Señor Jack."

When I asked why, he started crying, and whispered, "big sandwich," pointing at the TV.

Sure enough, Roark Capital executives were on CNBC, gloating about how they would put every bodega in New York out of business by monopolizing the sandwich market.

Small business owners would no longer be able to compete, as hungry consumers would certainly flock from miles to Subway and Jimmy Johns for their higher quality food, kinder employees, and better restaurant ambience.

I imagine that prioritizing FTC resources must be tough.

Sure, Microsoft is choking the emerging AI industry with its land-grab OpenAI investment. And, yes, Apple holds Google at gunpoint, charging insane fees to include Chrome on iPhones. And, okay, fine, Amazon might actually be jeopardizing thousands of small businesses with their anti-competitive pricing practices.

But I applaud Elizabeth Warren for taking a stand against big sandwich. Being a senator is a thankless job, but I stand with you, Lizzy.

In January I was diagnosed with a weird form of lacrimal cancer & while the US healthcare system being bad isn’t exactly a revelation, I want to give a glimpse at how that system actually functions from a patient & policy standpoint, along with legislative origins & options
