FUXXXXIT—TradCrone Edition

Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M." Government: "Totally reasonable." You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival." Government: "You owe taxes on $60K." You: "That's not—" Government: "File by May 15."

There is no justification for this whatsoever. And it certainly isn’t ’antisemitic’ to call out the atrocities inflicted on Palestinians. And it’s been going on for decades.

BREAKING: Nebraska becomes first state to enact work requirements for Medicaid recipients. MAGAs claim this will "cut waste, fraud, and abuse." This is the "Big Beautiful Bill" to cut Medicaid afford giving billionaires $2.1T in tax cuts. Every study & implementation of work requirements ever done shows it saves no money and instead leads to immense harm and death. The Urban Institute estimates 10M people losing Medicaid by 2028. This will kill people. The term for this is Structural Eugenics.

Put a log in your yard, and you've started a 10-year project that needs nothing from you. Year 1: The log still mostly looks like a log, but underneath, fungi are getting to work. The wood gets a little softer and slightly damper. Beetles find it within weeks. Year 2: Wood-boring beetles tunnel through the now-softer log, opening pathways for fungi to penetrate deeper. Spaces appear between the wood and bark. Springtails, mites, and millipedes colonize the seams. Year 3: The log is visibly decaying. Soft, fibrous, easy to push your finger into. Salamanders move in if there's any moisture nearby. So do toads, ground beetles, and centipedes. Year 4: The log is most of the way through what ecologists call the intermediate decay stage. Fungi reach peak diversity. The bark is mostly gone. Native bees may nest in beetle tunnels. Year 5: The log is functionally collapsing. Nurse plants (ferns, mosses, even tree seedlings) take root in the rich, decaying material. You now have a real habitat. Year 10: The log is heavily degraded or totally gone. What's left is rich, dark, fertile soil that holds water and supports plant communities the surrounding lawn never could. Every nutrient that was locked in the wood is now feeding the next generation of life in your yard. And it's time for a new log.

@yvessirae If it helps, I wrote a book about this topic:

@VeryBadLlama “Satan’s Fistula.” 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: a lot of white Americans are not having the conversations they need to be having with each other. In Black communities, these conversations are constant. They are not optional. They are passed down. They’re how we survive. If you want to help, start by listening to Black voices on this issue and amplifying them. And especially if you’re white, use your voice too. Join us. Call it what it is: racism. 🧵

wow..nicely played sir

🇺🇸BREAKING: Oil dropped below $100 the moment Trump announced the US would guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Someone placed a $760 million short on oil before his last announcement too. The strait has opened and closed four times in two weeks. Each announcement moves markets worth billions. Never stop connecting the dots.

This is the question worth asking every time a story like this comes out: if there’s no money for your health care, your kids’ schools, or the programs your family depends on, where is it going?      The Trump Administration just paid $17.4 million to fix two decorative fountains outside the White House. Three years ago, the same job was estimated at $3.3 million.       And guess what? The construction company that got the contract is the same one building Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom, and they got it without any competitive bidding whatsoever. The contract wasn’t even posted publicly, as required by federal law.      So how do you get from $3.3 million to $17.4 million? They added 27% for inflation. Then they added another 24% for inflation again. Then they tacked on additional charges that federal contracting experts said they had never seen before in their careers.      And the justification for bypassing the normal bidding process entirely? The fountains needed to be ready for America’s 250th anniversary. It’s worth noting that these fountains haven’t worked for nearly a decade. If the repairs were truly that urgent, why are they only fixing them now, and why are taxpayers footing a surcharge for the rush?      You are paying for this.   nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

@hearinladotcom What the FUCK??

who ya got?

BREAKING: Glyphosate is being sprayed over millions of acres of U.S. forests, and most people are unaware it’s happening.

🚨 The LARGEST "hyperscale" data center in the world is being proposed in Box Elder County, Utah. It's approx. 40,000 acres/62 square miles, backed by Canadian millionaire Kevin O’Leary. Fast-tracked by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority, backed by Gov. Spencer Cox, with the public locked out of the decision process. Utah, say hello to a 50% increase in CO₂ emissions, polluted water, and 24/7 noise and light pollution.

You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything anymore. Everything is a subscription. Adobe, Notion, Spotify. You don't just buy things once, you keep paying every month. You literally have to pay for everything forever. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?

@covie_93 @Strandjunker And gave everyone behind him the middle finder while doing it.

Clarence Thomas walked through every open door created for him because of his race then shut them all behind him so no one else can get the same opportunities he did.

@JoJoFromJerz Birds of a feather…

Why are so many of Donald Trump’s pals pedophiles?

It sucks fuel costs from Trump's war caused a loss of 13,000 jobs at Spirit Airlines, but I would also like to point out Amazon, Google and Microsoft are each laying off more than that every other week while they don't pay taxes and get loads of Government contracts and hand outs

@CREWcrew “Fair selection process.” 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 How about ZERO selection process?

Trump selecting his own resort in Doral to host the G20 summit not only benefits his resort, but means other cities have materially lost out. No evidence that there was a fair selection process. Clear presidential profiteering. Don't let this go. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

My opponent’s mom is spending $2.5 million to take me down, your independent City Controller who’s accountable to YOU, the people. Their attack ads make no sense and show that my opponent is not qualified to be the City’s accountant and auditor! Remember to vote by June 2!
