🚨EXCLUSIVE: Auto industry interests funneled huge money to NY Gov. Kathy Hochul before her decision today to block congestion pricing.

One group fighting the initiative funneled $92,700 to her & is holding a $5k-$10k-a-person fundraiser for her next week.

being a very small but real business today is like people try to not pay bills to you but you still have to pay bills to others, very large corporations fuck you but you take the fall with your customers, also inflation really fucks you. this is the reality of not being powerful enough to defend yourself in “The Market”, oh yeah also health insurance and benefits ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂 — anyway i do my best and try to be thankful I at least control my own day which is the whole point of this

“what Hamas did is atrocious. Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, is a war criminal. He should be in jail… But what Johnson is doing is what right-wing people always do. Back in the day, if you stood up for civil rights or social justice, they called you a communist. If you are prepared to take on Netanyahu’s outrageous war against the Palestinian people, now they claim that you’re sympathetic to terrorism. It is a lie. And I really am not happy with what he is saying.”

my conservative neighbor refers to covid as “That Flu” as in “____ also went to the hospital with that same flu that took out ____”

my more progressive friends refer to covid generically. as in “yeah I’m sick again” or “my cold turned into a bad cough” or “I’m the only one in my house who isn’t sick with what’s going around right now”

not only did we scrap masks and tests we legit scrapped the word covid

4+ years into COVID and many still missing the nuances:

Often 6ft isn't enough, but increasing physical distance reduces risk

N95s are much better, but surgical masks do help

Outdoors is safer, but you can still catch it

Vaccines reduce transmission, but don't eliminate it

@luckytran

  • Infection can confer immunity but that immunity may not protect you for more than a few weeks or against new variants

  • multiple infections increase odds of long term health issues, which may also be true about other viruses

I hate running, but it's becoming abundantly clear that no amount of any variety of cycling will make me fit or help me lose weight. Upping my thyroid dose made my weight stable after five years of gaining 10lb/yr despite increasing activity and keeping the same eating habits. I read two books on menopause and they both basically said it's probably menopause but there's no scientific way to tell cuz nobody researches us. (When I ran, 15 mi/wk wasn't enough to keep the weight off either.) 🫤

@HayiWena since being forced into menopause by cancer treatment I’ve gained 15 lbs, after an entire lifetime of being the exact same weight. My diet and exercise haven’t changed — menopause is a bitch and it does what it does

@lightning you don’t think it matters that our own taxes funded a super shady firm to do super shady stuff that very well may have caused covid?

@lightning I see where you’re coming from and am sad that governments have memory holed covid prevention as a priority, but significant research and discussion about the virus’s origins will go on nonetheless. To me it matters that we do find out what happened, because otherwise weaponized unreality just swallows up another huge facet of our current human experience, and I do not want that particular future

@lightning yeah it’s just not an either or, we can agree to disagree on that maybe

Macklemore Gaza anthem ‘Hind’s Hall’ climbs US music charts

@aram @globalvoices but he didn’t, and wouldn’t. the performance wasn’t about Palestine or Israel, it was a costume party and he felt super bad and apologized that the get up he chose ended up appearing to some as antisemitic. Generally when people do blackface they are trying to look like Black people — so this really isn’t comparable at all

There’s a Guardian article from Fiona Harvey today, which links to https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/richest-1-account-for-more-carbon-emissions-than-poorest-66-report-says from November last year, citing that…

the richest 1% of people in the world are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the bottom 2/3rds.

So how much wealth does one need to be in the world’s richest 1%?

Knight Frank had some answers to that in 2021: https://www.knightfrank.com/research/article/2021-03-01-how-much-wealth-gets-you-into-the-global-top-1

In the UK, at the time, it was $3.3 million, which was about £2.4 million.

London’s average property price is ~£700k
