Agreed. Over at X, I’d block and block and spend most of my time blocking. Then my feed suddenly had MORE of the nazis and the raw poop so why bother. Musk drives the algorithm and prefers his own bots (and his own vomit posts) over actual discourse. Fuck that.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Also, calling up Roman Anthony might have had a teeny bit to do with it.
Their season flipped when they shipped the disgruntled Devers to SF. Imagine how America's "season" would flip if we could ship Trump into exile?
Mine is free with Medicare @mcuban.bsky.social , but.... 1. My monthly Medicare payment is MORE than I used to pay CPD out of pocket (insurance didn't recognize CPD. 2. Medicare pays Express Scripts TWICE what I used to pay CPD.
I tell everyone about Cost Plus Drugs. I was at a doctor’s appt. and cost of meds came up. I told him and he said it would be great for his wife who is on some expensive drugs. My sister’s med was taken off insurance and it went form several hundred to less than 20 per month on Cost Plus!
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
That’s the issue. This is Medicare and it sends you to the big insurance companies to fill in the gaps for coverage. The point being that getting from where we are to where we want to be , where everyone has the right to care they can afford, is not going to a s straight line. It will be hard.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
@mcuban.bsky.social I was paying less for my meds when I was buying directly from Cost+, with NO insurance, than my premium from Medicare Part D, AND Medicare is paying Express Scripts about twice as much!
NGC 7822, an emission nebula about 3000 years away in Cepheus. It's a star-forming region like the Eagle Nebula with the famous Pillars of Creation. The zoomed image shows the "pillars" in a section of this image (the Teddy Bear Nebula). I used a Hubble HOS palette to enhance different features.🧪
I went to CVS to pick up generic Zofran. 10 8mg pills, $38. Cost plus, under $11. These docs also ask you right off the bat what pharmacy they should send the prescriptions to. @mcuban.bsky.social that’s where the change needs to happen.
My Cardiologist turned me on to your pharmacy and I can get all my meds less expensive there without insurance than I can at one of the preferred pharmacies with insurance. Can’t wait until you offer Eliquis.
True story 🤣
From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?
Hey if people who love cracker barrel like it because of the mom and pop feel how about checking out real mom and pop places in their state that serve actual home cooked meals. help small businesses not a giant corporation

Surprisingly large Norwegian community nearby as well.
It is, but she still knows better than that. Especially if she's already under a microscope.
Obviously that number is false, but pretending it's true, it basically would mean, if the murder rate was roughly the same as 2024, that there were 2 murders in 9 days instead of 3. Even pretending 9 days is a sample size of any value, touting that number is absurd to the point of parody.
NEW: Two members of the Fulton County, Georgia Board of Commissioners defy a court order and block the appointment of two election deniers to the county board of elections. Before voting, one of the members said she would risk charges or jail to defend democracy. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social
Been skipping over all the exhortations to read this post, but this one pushed me over the edge. Damn white whale!
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)
Grateful Putin didn't have them assassinated en masse.
I’ve lost track now - is this the 126th MAGA boycott of the NFL or 127th? How will they survive this?
Fans of Franklin Pierce are feeling pretty good right now.
Thanks for writing in, Katie. SmartBuy Illinois has allowed her and others to be able to afford owning a home here in our state, all while helping pay off their student loan debt. We're bridging the financial gap and lowering costs for thousands of families.

Certain demographics have ALWAYS referred to it as the War of Northern Aggression.
At this juncture, it's not particularly clear.

It’s so rude that you can be like “yesssss, I wrote 1000 words,” and then it’s just four paragraphs
I'm not sure about the curiosity part.
CEO: AI has made your job obsolete me: oh no, is your job is safe? CEO: yes i make hard decisions that optimize the company’s productivity and profit me: like firing me? CEO: well, AI decided that me: for free? CEO: hm
In my school in the late ’60s, girls were allowed to wear jeans before boys! I can’t remember whether that lasted weeks or months (certainly <1year) but it transpired in that order.
And competent and cost-effective.
If statues were history, we'd have statues of Benedict Arnold at Richmond, VA (which he sacked while fighting for the British). No, statues are praise. Confederates were slavers, traitors, and losers. No statues for them.
I am not sure what people think tigers generally eat but it's not tofu :)
if you're following TX redistricting news and you saw republicans won't let democrats who left the state get paid through direct deposit and you saw jokes that they barely get paid anyway and you're wondering why, it's because TX is set up so only well-off people can afford to be state lawmakers
It's my understanding that he is NOT your ex-husband, so he must be practically perfect in all other ways, as that is one deep hole to dig out of.
And NOW, they're approving all that PURCHASED care for an entire year at a time instead of checking in sooner to see whether the Veteran is actually getting good health outcomes. This is WILDLY expensive, wait times will be longer, and health outcomes will be worse. 11/
This is a blatant transfer of wealth from our taxpayer coffers to the pockets of massive private corporate healthcare conglomerates and lobbyists, all on the backs of our Veterans. END/
bigger than TWO
No need to exaggerate-bigger than most Japanese business hotel rooms. Maybe bigger TWO Japanese business hotel rooms.
Love the corporate meeting icebreaker exercise "Two truths and a lie." Which company will be the first to try out "Six lies and a truth?" Paramount?
One of the new leaders of the Democrat party. The old guard- thank you for your service; please step aside.
Why censor the number? Why censor the harasser’s name? This person made a phone call and gave it out freely. What protection does this violent, fascist goon deserve?
“Frog,” said Toad, “I can’t see anything. I will not be able to wear your beautiful present. This is a sad birthday for me.”
“DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars… Not billion. Half a trillion, $500 billion… In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending.” @joshtpm.bsky.social
Peaky Blinders
🐥 Drop a ❤️ if u miss Obama
This is the truth the rich don't want to hear! 👇🏼💙💙
Re-watching Peaky Blinders S1-5 in preparation for (finally!) S6 and upcoming movie. Beginning to suspect any of them not shot or garroted or otherwise put away die of cirrhosis or lung cancer or both.
The Cygnus Loop with the West Veil ("Witches Broom") Nebula and the East Veil Nebula. About 3 hours image collection on 7/28/2025 with a William Optics Redcat 71 WIFD telescope and ZWO AM2600MC camera. Not sure if Bluesky will show the entire image -- the thumbnail looks clipped. 🧪
US taxpayers just paid $10M for Trump’s trip to Scotland so he could cut a ribbon on his new golf course, but we “can’t afford” pediatric cancer research.
Hello, I'm an analytical chemist in film. Someone hands me a bag: in five minutes, I tell them what it is, where it came from, and who applied it. My colleague, an organic chemist in film, always has a small flask of bubbling liquid in the background. Sometimes it explodes; sometimes someone dies.
I live in the ‘Sneaux Belt’ because I love the cold. 90f+ all this week is physically nauseating. I wish to register a complaint with the management.
Democrats: What do we need to do to win back disillusioned voters? Voters: Stand up to Trump and fight him like our lives depend on it. Democrats: Alienate our base while we chase bros who will never vote for us. Got it. Voters: That's not- Democrats: Can you give us five dollars right now?
My favorite thing about social media is that it can tell what you like and then show it to you so much that you start to fucking hate it
Alleged/arrested Michigan Walmart stabbing suspect identified as Bradford James Gille. From nypost.com/2025/07/27/u...: Two possible self-published books by Gille and available on Amazon reveal him as a born-again Christian.

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.
Pretty much everyone had it on their 2025 bingo card.
The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check. That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year. If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.
Get better! Hope to see you and stay a night in Diderot come harvest.
TBF, from hersheyarchives.org/encyclopedia..., "during the 1950s.. To respond to the dramatically changing prices for the raw ingredients, Hershey changed the weight of its candy bars, decreasing bar weight when cocoa bean prices soared and increasing the weight when bean prices declined.
this is one of the worst crimes in human history and the entire global north and all of us in it share the responsibility

We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.
This is scammer @brightwayisiiko.bsky.social. Claims to run an orphanage charity. Even has kids posing with registration certificates yet can't provide a Charity Commission number and only takes Western Union to a PERSONAL ACCOUNT! These bastards disgust me!
My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.
A judge in DC has ruled that the Trump administration has to stop violating public disclosure laws. This is about the administration's efforts to take over Congress' power of the purse & altho the opinion is 60 pages, what the judge has to say is worth your time. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
"Senator Murkowski could have saved many millions of Americans from losing their health care and food assistance and local hospitals, but she pushed in all her chips on a deal that was reneged by Trump almost immediately after the vote was finalized."
Where are the big veterans organizations and why aren’t they raising hell over veterans being kidnapped?? Yeah, I’m looking at you @vfw.org @americanlegion.org amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/...

One thing that makes me laugh is that if we get out of all of this we’ll go “well thank goodness THAT won’t happen again” and go back to doing the same dumb shit
My god Trump really pocketed one of the championship medals meant for the players …FFS 😲🤬
