I just started watching this again, the first season, and goddamn it’s such a wild show. The twists still hit hard after 65 years. Serling crafted such a wonderful surreal little world

75% of americans, wow
I haven't really honed this line of thought, but something I've thought about recently is how churches could be, for lack of a better word, co-opted here in the US to fight for left-wing causes. There's a church out in San Francisco called GLIDE that was a part of the Methodist Church (I think they broke off) that essentially operates as a neighborhood resource center. Daily soup kitchen (3 meals every single day, no limits), harm-reduction kit distribution, childcare, DV resource center, and a lot more.
I guess all I've been thinking is just that if more churches could be politicized in this way, they could be potential allies in local struggles, because they're already organized, meet regularly, have physical spaces that can be used, and know how to handle a budget.
Obviously of a different scale, but TBT to when Biden placed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and 50% on Chinese solar panels (especially egregious when China produces something like 80% of all solar panels on the earth).
If you're in the US, I recently learned that some states allow you to see a physical therapist directly, without a referral. In my state it's limited to a few sessions, but you can tell the therapist something like "I won't be coming back, give me the best at-home routine for my issues", and they should be able to help you out. I know this still is not accessible to everyone, but I wanted to make sure you were aware that it might be an option!
The beans I usually buy in bulk from a local roaster have gone up 25% in the last couple years for me. And I purposefully bought the cheaper ones. It sucks lmao
the power of poasting
"solving" an obviously wrong captcha as the mark of the beast. Step aside Jack Chick, I'm trying to cook here
