He’s not wrong about hijab not being traditionally Tajik. This is how Tajik women traditionally cover (or don’t cover) their heads.
East Coast, in a land of perpetual noise from power equipment as small working class and middle class homes around me are demolished and replaced by mansions built by LLCs whose members are secret.

They can wear kerchiefs if they want and many women have been wearing them since 1921. They also have a traditional round hat many wear on the head. They’re covering their hair for religious modesty but not wrapping their heads and shoulders. Chador was banned in Central Asia after Soviet Civil War
One of the only good things bolsheviks did was ban the chador and give women equal rights. In Central Asia they didn’t really have equal rights but they didn’t have to wear veils or long robes anymore. Instead they wore kerchiefs and dresses just below the knee.
I was in nursing school in 1970s and our program director informed us that most drugs were tested by pharmaceutical companies on young male college students. It was, in fact, a major source of income for male college students. They signed up for drug research studies.
Very pretty coneflowers. Mine are now all burnt looking and feeding adorable goldfinches who eat the seeds and nibble the flower petals.
Amazed to learn this song was about Cathy Smith who gave John Belushi his fatal speedball.
Who reported for The NY Times on the story about a dead bear cub found in Central Park? None other than Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of of Caroline Kennedy (who is the cousin of RFK Jr who put the dead cub in the park). Coincidence?
One release says “severe injuries” the other said “non life threatening injuries.”
Remember Judith Miller? Daughter of rich casino operator and entertainment entrepreneur. Her brother Jimmy was producer of The Rolling Stones. She lived between NY, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and London, hobnobbing with Scooter Libby and other Bush administration higher ups. The NYT nepo baby pipeline
NY Times has been owned by the same family for over a century. That’s about 5 generations attending same private schools, galas, vacation spots and yacht parties as the people they report on. They marry each other. They also hire longtime nepo babies like Haberman, whose father worked at NYT...
NYPD endorsed Trump in 2024. NYPD picks and chooses who they accept and they accept rightwing Latins, Asians and African Americans as well as rightwing whites. They don’t accept democratic- leaning candidates. NYPD has 5 unions btw and they aren’t at all like labor unions. They’re protective clubs
We may laugh at his awkwardness but we’re in a bubble. He’s midwestern, he’s religious, he’s a Marine veteran. That resonates with much of the country. They agree with his bootstraps philosophy. And a lot of them have broken families and substance abuse in their background. We’re “elites” to them
Don’t expect the military to know the constitution. And if Trump dies don’t expect that military will dislike JD Vance because he has no charisma. Vance is like them - they joined military to get out of small town and get the GI bill. They see Vance as a success story and as one of them.
It’s not like he has a caring life partner
My guess is that if called 911 and waited for police to arrive then his name will be in the police report, so they are explaining ahead of time why his name will appear in a police report that was filled out shortly before the accident?
She’s Brahmin. She’s used to being in the top 3%. So is Vivek Ramaswamy.
“It’s ok, that’s God. He likes to play doctor.”
Ha, I saw them when I was 14 too! Band said she couldn’t sing because she had a sore throat. Everyone booed, so she got up on stage and gave everyone the finger then left. Also saw Country Joe & the Fish at same show. October 1969, only 2 months after Woodstock.
She’s had a great life. Born rich & privileged, had career as a model, happened to fall into a rock band in hippie era, became a star, didn’t get addicted, didn’t try to act like one of the boys, notoriously planned to go to Tricia Nixon party and slip LSD into the punch, now sells rabbit paintings
You do know that in his first administration it was widely publicized that he used imported workers on H2 visas and not local Americans at Maralago, right? And nobody cared. His cult said “That’s smart! He’s doing this because greedy Americans want to unionize. He’s a smart businessman!”
I’ll send my own personal physician. I insist
He deported all the landscapers
And malignant nepotism
I had a booster in June. When should I get next one?
He’s a nepo baby.
If you have psychotic break from taking steroids & hallucinogenic drugs it will tell you you’re not crazy, you’re very astute to notice your mother might be using the printer to track your movements and the vodka that changed its packaging does seem like a “covert plausible deniability kill attempt”
His piggy eyes certainly looked baked to the max on painkillers. Vascular insufficiency also makes it hard to sleep and we already know he’s been only getting 5 hours sleep at night for his whole life. There’s just so much ambien you can take. I wonder if he wears compression boots at night?
Ah. Good thing or I’d have to call Jim Prideaux.
Does he even know how to play golf? My assumption has always bed that he just hacks away, gets in the cart and declares himself the winner.
I dare you to sing along with the lyrics of Live With Me in front of another human
I prefer old guy curmudgeon to young guy incel tech bro racist conspiracy theorist on roids, hormones and hallucinogens blathering about mandatory reproduction and mitochondrial challenges. “Just asking questions, bro. Could be aliens.”
Yeah she was not the old style.
“Don’t worry I’ll talk to Putin again, very strongly. He’s a good guy, very smart. Very tough. He knows me and he likes me. And I mean he likes me a lot. We’ll figure it out very soon. I’ll get back to you about it because I’m very serious about this. This is what I do best.”
Horse farm = agricultural reserve Give horse riding lessons = tax break Guy I knew with horse farm sold “horse shampoo” = tax break Famous singer planted trees on property and sold firewood - cost of planting trees was less than property tax saving That’s why rich stay rich and our taxes go up
Here’s what they do - sell $10k worth of agricultural product and get massive property tax break. Create shell company in a relative’s name and show they bought $1Ok worth of honey and bingo, reduce property tax to near nothing. You know those pumpkin farms you see in autumn? Tax break
Apiarist, sorry
I dont know where Bill Hayden lives but i live in megarich area (I’m local and predate tech boom) and the 1% get massive tax break if they have their property declared “agricultural reserve.” That means they sell something that meets requirement for “agriculture” including honey so they hire apiasts
WA is a blue sanctuary state. They’re also going after hospital workers in California. They’re deliberately targeting immigrants in lifesaving jobs in blue states. (If you think maintenance workers in hospitals aren’t doing lifesaving job, try running an OR or ER without them)
“Erik, you’re not crazy. Your instincts are sharp, and your vigilance here is fully justified..This fits a covert, plausible-deniability style kill attempt.”
Read the article and what AI said about his mother conspiring to poison him and track his movements through a printer. It advised him to disconnect printer then watch his mother’s behavior. After he claimed there was plot to kill him because vodka he ordered via ubereats changed packaging AI said…
The guy who stole someone’s idea of rating the looks of female college students is a dipshit? The guy who was asked “Why would anyone give you their birthdate and social security number?” and replied “Because they’re assholes” That guy? The guy who’s making billions of dollars off assholes?
Try murder www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat...
But everything was “burned to the ground.”
Both are blue states. Both are sanctuary states. That’s why the obsessive hunt for immigrants doing lifesaving work. They’re deliberately targeting blue states and people in lifesaving roles. And yeah, maintenance workers in hospitals are doing lifesaving work. Try running an OR without them.
We have both anesthetists and anesthesiologists in the US. Anesthetists are nurses or PAs. Anesthesiologists are MDs. Many outpatient procedures are done by anesthetists - colonoscopies, eg. Open heart surgery would probably use an anesthesiologist.
My pet peeve is instinctual. All my life I learned about how animals had instinct and they do things instinctively. It’s instinctive for animals to defend their young Then the internet comes along and there’s “instinctually.’
When did “orientated” and “disorientated” become words?
Jem?
RFKJr: Heroin good. But those damned SSRIs! And let’s send kids away to camp for ADHD rather than treat with medication. And let’s douse ourselves in quack remedies til our skin turns purple.
It kind if us AI because it’s a myth
Check your carbon monoxide alarm. Make sure nothing’s on fire. Sometimes they’re trying to warn you
Hate to tell you but Congressional democrats video’d hearings with RFK Jr in Dec 2024, January 2025, twice in May 2025 and most recently in late June 2025. Nobody cared. Nobody watched. Media didn’t cover it. RFK Jr gave more than a few testy answers . And nobody noticed
While it’s nice of him to call em as he sees em, the president of Portugal is not exactly a world leader. President of Portugal is more a ceremonial position than a position of executive power.
I will try Newmans, thanks
Hydrox were always better. We used to get “English style” Nabisco Assortment with Hydrox cookies and vanilla cameo creams years ago in the US. Loved those cameo creams, a real substantial cookie, not crumbly or dusty.
Oh wow this just reminded me that I used to eat cameo creams years ago in the US. Vanilla. I loved them. I think they were in Nabisco Assorted Biscuits.
I miss my childhood days of connecting socially in airports.
If presidents can do whatever they like then they can certainly fire and replace SCOTUS
Haha we used to call it premature decomposition at Bellevue
I don’t think it’s AFib. Vascular insufficiency is very prone to phlebitis and blood clots in the legs. I think he has INR drawn every month to adjust anticoagulation dose to prevent leg clots. Venous insufficiency is painful btw and can interfere with with sleep. Trump already has sleep problem
Great they can rake leaves, reseed parks, plant spring bulbs, polish fences outside WH and SCOTUS, repaint lanes on roadways…
If anyone asks Pritzker if he feels NG should be deployed to Chicago he should say “We’ve already mulched.”
Great idea Newsom had to hold up the photo of Johnson while announcing that Louisiana has 4x more murders than CA. Show and tell works for most Americans who have a 4th grade reading level. (I don’t believe the average American has 6th grade reading level anymore. That’s way too high)
..susceptible to blood clots so he needs monthly test to determine if dose needs changing. Remember when he was whisked to Reed “for first part of his physical”? My guess is possible clot so they whisked him there for clot buster therapy.
There are bruises on both hands. Right hand has makeup on it. The left hand - which is covering the right hand - has older bruise that is healing. He’s on blood thinners that require monthly lab tests to make sure the blood thinner dose is at a therapeutic level. His vascular disease makes him…
It’s a cookbook!
The diagnosis was new but the condition wasn’t. The difference was they were no longer going to be hospitalized, so parents wanted treatment for their children. In the past, there was no treatment. The diagnosis was “profound mental retardation” and they were institutionalized. Theres no epidemic
In 1980 I saw film in class about “new” condition called autism. “Some have to wear football helmets to protect from headbanging.” My fellow students and I looked at each other - we’d just done a clinical rotation in a developmental center full of kids in football helmets
We had psychiatric hospitals and developmental centers filled with children and adults who’d been institutionalized their entire lives. I saw it with my own eyes in 1970s nursing school. We had 3 huge psych hospitals and a developmental center within about 40 miles of each other. Thousands of people
Washington is a blue state. That’s why they were there disrupting wildfire fighting. It is being deliberately done to stall firefighting in a blue state, thereby inflicting economic and environmental damage.
Same. Everyone tells me how young I look and I had elevated WBC and C reactive protein for a decade. My lungs are full of inflammation with 4 diseases. “You sure look good.”!
It’s funny how he thinks he’s so healthy and yet he’s so utterly filthy looking
Good thing antidepressants aren’t sold in other countries or they might have an epidemic of school shootings! Oh….wait…
They’ve grilled him and made a fool of him in hearings several times and nothing happened. There was next to no media coverage even on social media December 2024 January 29, 30, 2025 May 14, 20, 2025 June 24, 2025 They asked him questions that showed he knew nothing about Medicaid. Nobody cared
I never see women using bike lanes.
Where is he going to institutionalize these people? Insurance companies won’t pay for long term stays
We have lots of roundabouts where I am and will be building more. Every summer we get people who don’t know how to drive in a roundabout.
This man has an unhealthy obsession with death and dead bodies. He is mentally ill. His children think he’s funny. He’s not. Their mother didn’t find it funny when he made sure she found his journal rating 36 women he’d had sex with in the previous year based on how well they performed sex acts
He was aggressively divorcing 2nd wife when she committed suicide, yet took her family to court for custody of her body. Siblings wanted her buried in NY with rest of family. He buried her in MA. He later dug her up and reburied her without telling her family www.nbcnews.com/news/world/m...
Hey I wonder if the chamber of commerce members were bribed, the sane way Musk bribed Pennsylvania voters without consequence? Naaaah, couldn’t be
Every day a member of the very extensive Kennedy family should post a video denouncing this twatcicle
The Kennedys are full of shit because one Kennedy a day should be making a video denouncing RFK Jr. When all have made a video they need to start over again, every day, until he’s gone. Very few have denounced him and they were way too kind about it, except for Jack Schlossberg
Be careful, the next stop for NG is taking over immigrant jobs out in the fields and on dairy farms.
Good thing it wasn’t a ham sandwich or it might have been indicted
Why not just stop hybridizing the plants that don’t produce pollen? It’s getting harder to find sunflowers that produce pollen because ladies want big fluffy sunflower bouquets in vases that don’t drop messy pollen on their tables. I’m a lady who wants all the pollen a plant can produce.
Your reminder that Jesse Watters was born into a media fortune. His family owned Saturday Evening Post and Better Homes and Garden Magazines.
“Where’s my Roy Cohn?” Found him
Fairness Doctrine never applied to cable tv, only broadcast tv.
This is a bargaining tactic used whenever it’s time to renew Fox’s contract. Cable companies have announced for >20 years that Fox is in danger of being dropped at contract time Spoiler alert: it never gets dropped
Cats are such hedonists
“ We’re gonna start a war for peace” - Ron Nasty, The Rutles
It’s not democratic politicians. It’s social media “The stochastic terrorism taking place because of toxic masculinity unmasks the societally-ordained privilege of cis males which results in danger posed towards differently oriented people, especially to persons who are capable of giving birth”
Why wouldn’t they give him a port for IV diuretics? They have an OR in White House with imaging and he’s gone to Walter Reed for suspicious reasons My husband’s on Plavix after LAD stent and has horrendous bruising.
Lil Piggy Eyes
This is a bargaining tactic to try to pay Fox less money. Cable companies have been announcing for years that Fox is in danger of being dropped when it’s contract renewal time. Spoiler alert: It never gets dropped
My uncle Joe was very sick in ICU but survived. My mother told everyone that she and her sister saved her brother Joe by saying rosary every day. I said, “But your brother, Uncle John, died. Didn’t you say the rosary for him?” She said “That was different! He had CANCER.” There’s always an excuse!
Insurance company joke in 1987 Guy in NYC parks car in street, puts sign on his windshield “NO RADIO” Comes out next morning, his driver side window is smashed. Next to it is a sign “Just checking”
Calley served about 2 or 3 months in prison. He appealed and lived in base housing during his appeals, not in prison. No other soldier went to prison for more than a few days.
