TikTok FYP remains on point
trying to find a new case for my iPhone 9 which is a lot like trying to find someone to shoe my beloved elderly carriage horse
Saying they disgraced themselves is such an understatement. They effectively trashed whatever reputation they have among serious scientific colleagues. Beyond the absurdity of what they were saying, they explicitly lied about what multiple studies found.
(The more positive analogy I use is it’s like being the goalie of the team, the final check before something slips past everyone)
I don’t mean this in a negative way, I mean this in a self-deprecating way as someone who is VERY suited to this
“hey I noticed your patient’s blood pressure/last bowel movement/potassium level/recent TSH/serum creatinine and I was wondering if you were thinking about…”

and like I just T-parked behind him and boxed him in and filled up my tire but what the hell???? we live in a SOCIETY
today I went to Costco to top off my leaky tire and watched some MAN park dead center in front of the two air pumps (entirely blocking the area), get OUT of his car, and WALK INSIDE
In many states, AFAB folks can already be easily prosecuted for doing "risky" things during pregnancies. What tear gas at a protest effectively does to reproductive-age AFAB is put them in a position where we are at not only special health risk, but special legal risk.
When ICE floods a neighborhood with tear gas, it is flooding that neighborhood with a known abortifacient. In a just world, that sort of behavior would be a ticket to the Hague.
[watching a product line-up comparison for a niche category] me, at the start of the video: idk why i'd care about this but maybe it'd be useful me, at the end of the video: you'd have to be a fucking MORON to use brand #3 holy shit how are they even allowed on SHELVES!?
It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack
I’m cracking up at the concept of someone who sincerely needed copy for this
okay so I’d been meaning to buy a wedge pillow FOR SLEEP PURPOSES and Bellesa had one of their promotions and I was like “oh I could totally meet the minimum purchase if I got a wedge pillow,” anyways, it arrived today and included a little instructional insert with the following pictures:
Saying "everyone" has vaccination or infection when the discussion is about infants makes no sense
"smoker" is on the CDC list and basically impossible to disprove
just found out about this new thing called “flagging,”
update:
I adore the implication I was going to be all *surprised pikachu* over the Google search results though, this is the same woman who got very confused by a story about a collar because she could only think of a reverend’s collar
do you think he brought them home after work and there was an awkward silence before they decided what to do with them or
Google was unhelpful but apparently Brennan purchased some uhhhh realistic silicone tentacles with suction cup bases as a prop for his DnD map
Kya: “Have the Dimension 20 dildos made it across your TikTok page?” Me: “…the what???” *opens up Google* Kya: “oh my god do NOT Google that!!” Me: “…I can google whatever I want???” *turns Safe Search off*
CDC expanding five second rule to five minutes
one of the less-discussed harms of the housing affordability crisis is how it makes escaping from abusive living situations borderline impossible. i'm not even just talking about teens, i mean folks well into their 20s and 30s who came of age into an impossible job market and can't afford to leave
yeaaah. the posts going around that say you MUST rsvp to protests or you are failing to show true revolutionary mettle are v weird without this context. i am simply an immigrant who wants you to remember that immigrants are subject to different laws, and will be judged on our declared affiliations.
If you pronounce Likert correctly (lick-urt) people will often think you don't know what you are talking about because the incorrect pronunciation (lie-kurt) is so common. Are there other good examples of this kind of thing?
As RFKJ‘s ACIP meets again today, know that Covid vaccines protect children from severe disease and death. Without vaccines, kids face devastating risks. For example, “between August 2021 and July 2022, Covid-19 killed 821 children ages 0–19, making it the leading cause of death in this age group.”
My friend Ghost is a disabled trans man in Utah who has been needing some help getting food and medical supplies bsky.app/profile/carv...
In case you’re wondering, it’s barely fall & our children’s hospital is already almost always full with kids boarding in the ER. And the pediatric workforce is stretched thin. Our system does not have the capacity to care for the influx of vaccine preventable diseases that is coming.
“The literature already exists. We don’t need to talk about ME/CFS and long COVID as though they are these mysterious illnesses. We also don’t need to talk about them as though they are contested as to whether they are biological or not. These are biological illnesses.”
I AM, in fairness, pretty good at reading the room for when people are in a laid back and chatty mood rather than busy
the other day at the end of mini cases somehow I got on a tangent about how historically in most cultures the average age of marriage has been early to mid 20s and the idea that teen marriage is normal is due to the outsize impact of a few incredibly niche situations on cultural memory
Heads up to my professor friends — saw a disabled college student point out her screen reader automatically read the white on white text some of y’all are putting in your assignments to catch students using AI, so depending on how those are worded, you might get false positives for screen reader use
Canada places 200% tariff on little Canadian flags Americans wear while travelling
everyone working Neuro/Ortho pharmacy today got treated to a mini lecture about how victory gardens in WWII were never going to meaningfully scale up domestic food production, they were mainly for supplementing rations with enough fresh produce to not ~feel too deprived about it
Hey, I don't have much energy and I'm in a lot of pain (I just saw a home health provider for a headache cocktail) but I still don't have many funds and can't work. Pls help. 🥺 venmo.com/code?user_id... cash.app/$CAugustMcMu... PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
I’m also okay where chapter 1 starts with an anecdote but after the anecdote is over there’s like a double space or something and then it’s like “in this chapter I will argue” because again, if I’m in a rush, I can get right to it
That way if I want to just get to the argument I can skip the prologue
Anecdotes are for prologues and epilogues
Meissner is dead wrong about this. This ACIP is illegitimate. It does not warrant the attendance of professional medical societies to indulge its conspiratorial, uninformed ramblings. Every single professional society should be doing what AAP is doing.
the microbiology lab here has a “staph only” sign on the door
The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.
This is such important news that media must report on while covering any changes from ACIP — it’s important folks know that they can still access vaccines even if the committee makes changes to the schedule. I worry in all the confusion, many will think they can’t get them anymore.
Former CDC official says RFK Jr.’s handpicked vaccine advisory committee will vote to delay vaccine for hepatitis B, one of two vaccines that prevent cancer. Read my story about how babies could be harmed if they don’t get this shot on time. www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-...
Watching Ricky Gervais go dead silent about the right of a comedian to offend anyone they want now that it means more than pissing off college students is gonna be the first funny thing he’s done since The Office ended.
mom can you come pick me up, I’m glad Karl Rove wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal
I can’t even make myself make the Legolas and Gimli meme, wdym Karl Rove and the fucking NRA are on my side???????
American media: the alleged shooter is said to have engaged in “transportation” when he drove back to St. George
american media: charlie kirk’s alleged killer is said to have made a “transaction” after buying something with his credit card
One of my Mormon-ish friends said “this is someone who has the entire screenplay to The Princess Bride memorized” and i was like “yeah” bsky.app/profile/jbla...
This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point. However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened
A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."
Honestly, this is pretty strong. What's striking about it, to me, is that he specifically describes what Kirk's ideas were. That may be a low bar, but an awful lot of people have failed to clear it.
Nothing to add.
you think they’re out here screaming RICO for shits and giggles? No they’re planning to use that more … it was already used against the Cop City protestors in Atlanta and made people’s lives a living hell for a couple of years why would you volunteer to make it easier to charge you like this Lol
it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
(it has been twelve years since I’ve spoken to him, just for the record)
he believed Utah would be exempt from the civil war but they had this plan instead of the “move to Utah” plan and I was like, you know what, I’d be as opposed to moving to Utah as the next guy AND YET
he believed civil war would break out before Jesus came back and his family had a large gun collection and a detailed home defense plan that involved him on the roof as a sniper taking out anyone who crossed the property line, no questions asked
when I was 19 I was in a situationship* with a Mormon guy who texted like that (*I said we were just friends about once a week and he said of course, I’ve had a vision of my future wife and you’re not her, and then we’d chastely cuddle in a hammock and watch bad movies until 3 am)
the problem is the way a 20-year-old Mormon from St. George would text his trans girlfriend is indistinguishable from the way a 60-year-old FBI agent would write fake texts to a trans girlfriend
update: they are in the ICU and the pediatric anesthesiologist is switching him to propofol and continuing the ultrarapid withdrawal plan and is excited because it’s a new procedure and nobody is listening to Kerry Weaver going “what the absolute fucking fuck”
update: they were, in fact, discovered because the baby did, in fact, not remain stable under those conditions
they’re doing a ketamine drip on an intubated baby for deep sedation in secret
while Dr. Del Amico’s ex-professor/boyfriend who had a SUD is in the ER conducting a feasibility study on making Doug’s job permanent
nobody has said “have you considered clonidine instead of cyanide poisoning,” probably because he is doing it in secret while pretending to treat the baby for pneumonia
on this episode of ER, Doug Ross is using nitroprusside as his first-line agent for managing hypertension in an infant withdrawing from methadone
time for me to man up and fill this out

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.
The fix is in. Get your COVID vax THIS WEEK, friends. Do not wait if you can avoid it.

hello 911? yea its me again…uh huh thats right, theyre still posting his exact quotes

like you don’t do this unless you’re actively hoping for a way to blame transgender people goes right along with “praying the shooter wouldn’t be one of us”
but now he’s like “I’ve decided to destroy one of my constituent’s lives for no reason other than that he had the misfortune to be roommates with a murderer and also used a feminine TikTok filter one (1) time which means I’m ready to incite a trans pogrom against him” and that’s Much Worse
he used to be like “guyyyyys stop trying to make me be mean to trans people! seriously you guyyyyys stooooop I really mean it this time! you guuuuuuyyyyyys it makes me so sad to sign this :///“ and that wasn’t Good or anything
I was never one of those progmos who was like “omg he’s just like me except the republican governor for some reason” but jfc talk about selling your soul

“what is the True Nature of the thing” and “what does the thing do in context” are OFTEN contradictory categories actually and that’s fine if you’re not a little baby about it

“how can you be transmasc and a lesbian” look a palm tree is technically a type of herb, categories are weird as shit
@kyamae.bsky.social bad news they’re gonna have to reattach the dongle
don’t worry though, our brightest minds have conclusively proved the roommate is cis and pure of heart
yeah I’m aware of what Cox said, as far as I can tell the sole basis for this is “once the roommate used a TikTok filter that looked like a girl anime character” and “the other roommate said they were talking about a doctor appointment” (no information about what kind of doctor appointment) sooooooo
okay I know there’s no real evidence for the femboy boyfriend but a femboy boyfriend actually strengthens the groyper profile if anything
This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions
ooooh I forgot about this lol
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.
One of our clients just had her funding fall through, and her abortion appointment is scheduled for Monday. Without immediate support, she won’t be able to access the care she needs.
The lost tribe stuff and also verifying that nobody had unknown black ancestry (after a few instances of men getting ordained to the priesthood and then later discovering their grandfather was mixed race or whatever)
