- Private lending is near unregulated and it's where the hedge funds are sending their flash boys their latest scheme is to missell unsuitable 500% leveraged investment products to steal people's retirement funds archive.is/cU3s7
- I've read other articles like this, and entire books (When Genius Failed is the latest), where my gut tells me that this stuff is either a "gambling system" or creating money out of thin air. YAGRQS: yet another get rich quick scheme. But not for the mark.
- the 90s were a wild time. if i told you how many magazines there were you wouldnt even believe me
- Let's see if I can remember everything we got in the 1960s: Popular Science Popular Mechanics Mechanix Illustrated National Geographic Scientific American Astounding/Analog Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Ellery Queen Mystery Readers' Digest Redbook Chatelaine Outdoor Life
- PM Mark Carney signs order to prioritize middle-class tax cut, after first meeting with new cabinet #Canada #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
- I do not now, nor have I ever needed a tax break. Not when I was at the bottom and definitely not when I was at the top. The only thing I've ever needed was for my government to stop stealing my services to satisfy some business person's or rich fucker's warped economic ideology.
- Rolling back more than 50 years of progress.
- From repealing the Endangered Species Act and lifting requirements for environmental assessments, to creating zones where no provincial laws apply, here’s what you need to know about Doug Ford’s omnibus Bill 5 before public commenting closes on May 17 #ONpoli thenarwhal.ca/ontario-bill...
- oooo so lucky! i can't believe you got a visit from the nap fairy!
- I have them on retainer. All of my naps are guilt free.
- I have some *thoughts* on Dems like @schumer.senate.gov & @blumenthal.senate.gov sponsoring KOSA *now* even as a quick glance around shows that Trump is implementing Project 2025 and Heritage Foundation has said clearly that KOSA is part of its strategy to censor LGBTQ & abortion info. Like WT?
- A Democratic Party led by Schumer is a Democratic Party that will never again regain national power. The party either needs to go big, bold, extreme anti-MAGA and swing for the fences or give up
- If the Republicans are like the Conservatives of Canada, they are very good at "you say white, I say black" knee-jerk contrarianism. If your Democrats and our Liberals would make the same play, we each at least have real alternatives in the voting booth.
- Wayne Long, newly-minted secretary of state for Canada Revenue Agency, tells reporters in Ottawa today: "I think we're going to see our government run like a corporation, which I think is long overdue."
- So, an authoritarian organization that cares not a whit for expertise or consequences or that never looks beyond the next quarterly report? No thanks, I want my government to keep organizations like that from destroying society, not emulate them.
- What is carburetor sludge anyway
- The bane of my existence. Not helpful, I know. I always assumed it was chlorophyll or something from the grass. Maybe it's just my personal experience, but I only see the green stuff in lawn equipment. Snowblowers and chainsaws seem to be immune.
- I remember dial-up internet days where it took minutes to download a single image. Now we're doing nearly two terabytes a month.
- Yikes! Out here in the wastelands, our lousy cell internet is closer to dial-up than what you have. 15 GB plan and slow, unreliable service via a booster. (I miss Starlink!)

Originally from the trans-femme chaotic good/evil d&d characters I played in the 1980s. walloftext s/b self-evident and now a domain name. My current display name was bestowed on me by a friend and s/b also self-evident.
