Opioids are a “my body, my choice” issue. No other reason needed “They might kill you!!!” Don’t care. If you’re worried about that, don’t take them. “You might get addicted!” Again, dgaf. Lots of legal things are addictive. “They don’t work!” For you. For me, they do.

Great piece from @robinsreport on an underrated epidemic in modern America: understaffing. From nursing homes to retail, railroads to air traffic control, nobody hires enough people for the job anymore. prospect.org/2026/03/19/und…

1/ As I reported my book, I noticed something that has completely changed American life: widespread chronic under-staffing. It leads to, among other things, deadly medication errors at pharmacies, flight delays, messy stores, and the crime wave. From me today @TheProspect

It’s one thing to work for a very low wage, but it’s another to pay to work. People aren’t going to want to do DD as a charity service. I think a lot of drivers will drop off, especially if they were doing it in an SUV or another low-gas mileage vehicle

Not sure if DoorDash as a company can survive this impending fuel crisis. The margins were already extremely tight for drivers even before the War. The only option is going to be raising prices for customers, but idk how many will be willing to pay more.

A it stands DoorDash pays $2 for most food orders and the rest of the money comes from tips. If people can’t afford to tip, the math just isn’t going to make sense for drivers.

@jorleigh1 @mags_mclaugh Yes. That is it. They are not bumbling idiots. Look up how much money Trump has made for himself by being president just this term. And the only life they value is their own. @sarahkendzior has a lot of great writing about all this.

@ItsCrystalSue @mags_mclaugh Killing a bunch of people unnecessarily and enriching themselves? Like that’s the only strategy I can see here.

Arguably today, with the hits to LNG sites in both Iran and Qatar, was the day where Trump can no longer stop this. This is it, and it’s going to be very, very bad.
spoiler free enthusiast@GuestName10

@mags_mclaugh Everyone is hoping Trump stops himself somehow but he's in for at least a month more thinking he is in charge.

@snackvampire I felt it way back in April 2024. And even back then, there was nothing that could be done to stop it. Kamala was also clearly saying she wanted war with Iran. x.com/itscrystalsue/…
Crystal@ItsCrystalSue

I hope I’m wrong, but between Israel striking Iran tonight & the way Columbia arrested peaceful student protesters today? I have the same level of dread that I did the night the NBA season was suspended bc of COVID in 2020. Very bad things seem to be coming.

@jorleigh1 @mags_mclaugh They are actually all handling all of this super successfully. They just have goals that have nothing to do with our quality of life or even the longevity of the country. But they are definitely meeting their own goals and they know exactly what they are doing.

@ItsCrystalSue @mags_mclaugh That’s a very valid point. Although tbh I have very little faith in the competence or the intelligence of the people surrounding him in this administration which was what prompted my frustrated response. Like someone with legit subject matter expertise needs to be in the room.

@MorePerfectUS @starrystarryn_t We had a world class postal service with a 97% delivery rate to every address in the country. In less than five years Republicans have crippled the service to the point of failure.

The Postmaster General says USPS might be forced to stop deliveries in 2027 if current trends continue. Postmaster David Steiner says the postal service "will be out of cash in less than 12 months." Steiner has has also been on the board of directors of FedEx since 2009.

I know this is not the time, but I do read this as: Current spot prices for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel on the West Coast appear unhinged at $147/Brazilian Butt Lift; $162-$170/Brazilian Butt Lift; and $186/Brazilian Butt Lift
Tom Kloza@TomKloza

Current spot prices for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel on the West Coast appear unhinged at $147/bbl; $162-$170/bbl; and $186/bbl until one considers that refiners in China, India, Japan and South Korea face physical crude costs that top $150-$155/bbl.

@Opethism @ripplebrain I’m really hoping it speeds up passenger rail service expansion in the U.S. but I know that’s just wishful thinking.

@ripplebrain Would be something if Trump and his zio buddies inadvertently speed up the adoption of renewables through oil demand destruction and delay climate armageddon by a few decades

Friends and Viking fans, I’m asking for some help, we are going to help a horrible hoarding situation near Hinckley. Owner passed away, his disabled brother is at the house, there are at least 30 kitties and kittens living in the house. I talked with his brother, the kitties have no food and he doesn’t have food for himself either. We are going to get all the kitties safe this week and we will help him with food, clean the house and whatever else they need. Viking fans are a great family and I’m hoping we can all do as much as we can. If any of you could help donate, I would really appreciate it. There’s going to be a lot of costs for Vet care and everything else that goes along with these cases. If you donate $150.00 or more, I will send you one of my signed jerseys or our new throwback hoodie. Comment here if you donate $150.00 or more and I will get your address to send Jersey or Hoodie too. Thank you and please share.

@JaneDashley Good points, but also I do think they are just using Ozempic-style drugs to push past the plateaus that they had hit with every other tool they used. This is the thin that they have always longed for. “Never too rich or too thin” and all that.

And if I said the already thin women making themselves thinner right now are just resource-guarding thinness bc they view it as protection in an increasingly violent patriarchal culture? Gotta move the needle on what thin is if others can get in on it via Ozempic
antifa🔻girlfriend@lllliatttt

every already-always-thin famous woman’s shoulders suddenly have decorative finials sticking out but if you say anything about it you’re doing Body Policing and Health Moralizing and Remember, You Never Know What Someone Is Going Through
