Wheeze!

E-coli outbreak. McD's Quarter Pounders. 🤣

New approach to book burning and banning from the NeoPuritans (never forget that TWO countries sent those narrowminded jackasses on their way) - just reclassify history you don't like as fiction. And make it so you can't be appealed.

Texas, y'all are deeply fucked up.

How do you keep Canadian bacon from curling?

Take away its broom.

I'm so sorry. This struck me as hysterical for some reason. 😂🤣😂🥌

Two concrete consumer protections from the Biden-Harris administration, the FTC, and Lina Khan - "Click to Cancel" and now...

Fake reviews.

This is government actually working.

You can stop donating to the big campaigns. They have more money than time to spend it.

Donate to the local and state campaigns. They are far more likely to be running short or worrying about overextending.

Read the article. Talk this up.

It's a huge issue for pretty much everyone and explains a lot of what is wrong with pharmacies, drug prices, etc.

Also, Mark Cuban is all over this. We Support the local independent pharmacy, but would go costplusdrugs in a heartbeat if they closed.

This is the single most important issue of the election, affecting more people, rural and urban, than any other.

The Powerful Companies Driving Local Drugstores Out of Business https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/19/business/drugstores-closing-pbm-pharmacy.html

My data should not change ownership when a company is sold or under new leadership. It's my data.

Sure, you can change the TOS going forward, but retroactive? Nope. Still, that's what is happening.

Buy enough data points and you can micro target me for ads, investigations, harassment, stalking, any number of things.

And long cookie acceptance lists? Still puts the burden on the user. Go read the changes to our privacy policy or TOS, same thing.

What I really want protected - my privacy and my rights.

The second would require ratification of the ERA and would also codify the majority of LGBTQ rights with respect to adoption, marriage, etc.

The first isn't what you think, but it does include many healthcare concerns - we need to establish a Constitutional right to data privacy. Not to be bought, sold, and analyzed without consent or affirmative legislation.

Use of data should be the exception, not the default.

So, there I was, in the locker room of the Masters in Augusta...

I'm thinking folks going for Elon's cash for votes scheme.

I get it now - Palmer is the Cocktober surprise.

I'll show myself out.

Nope. Arnold Palmer's dick. Not on the bingo card.

A strain of flu... poof.

Wisconsin Senate candidate and 70s porn fan, Eric Hovde hasn't read up on... the farm bill. Wisconsin. 😱

NC breaking voting records. Party voting is about even, but the important votes are the Unaffiliated.

In NC, Unaffiliated means you can choose in which primary you want to vote. It's most commonly used to be able to vote in local primaries where the primary winner IS the winner as all candidates are from a single party.

IOW, red counties. 😃

Not quite as funny as the "fan" who suggested David Simon watch The Wire, but still pretty darned 🤭
