Nobody wants this. Nobody. Not a single person asked for it. No value is added by doing it. It is unambiguously a strict negative to do it on every single axis you could measure it. You don't need the contrarian "bUt whAt iF iT wErE gOoD tHo" bullshit takes. It is not. It is bad.
This week’s British Bake-off has the single best contestant intro ever IMHO.
This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.
Amazing! Congrats to the dashing groom and lovely bride!
About to make some emergency oatmeal cookies.
The new ARROW Blu Ray of Long Kiss Goodnight is amazing
Long Kiss Goodnight
Hell yeah. Haven’t seen that in ages.
A politic grounded in disability justice prepares you for all of this and more. Ableism & its manifestations (eugenics, racism, necropolitics, transphobia, &c) are the root of all the evils we face. There’s no preparing, resisting, or liberation without disability justice & disabled people.
Reek
The War Department oversaw only the Army, so when it was merged with the Department of the Navy they went with "Defense" not out of wokeness, but to avoid claims of bias toward either of the two established services, and to include the newly-created Air Force. Oh, maybe looking evenhanded is woke
I’ve had migraines more tolerable than this man’s stream of nonsense.
Jambalaya with some extra hot sauce and a beer for an early dinner.
He sounds so vapid, so stupid. Like our service men and women are not sacrificing daily to keep America productive and safe.
The Tax and Trade Bureau will stop issuing paper checks for disbursements, including tax refunds, to comply with a Trump executive order. Other federal agencies, including IRS, are moving in that direction.
Every single Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the goddamn economy. Trump’s the first to do it twice.
Trump has stripped, or moved to strip, Temporary Protected Status from over: - 605,000 Venezuelans - 330,700 Haitians - 51,200 Hondurans, - 8,100 Afghans - 7,100 Nepalese - 4,900 Cameroonians - 2,900 Nicaraguans These figures don't even count the hundreds of thousands of parole terminations.
Great time for the U.S. to raid a battery plant construction site in Georgia and arrest 450 people, including executives of the company building the plant!

Trump is ending a Biden administration plan to require airlines to compensate passengers for long flight delays. He also wants to end Biden’s policy requiring airlines to disclose hidden fees.
Rep. Thomas Massie tells me: "They're already running $2 million in ads against me. It's three billionaires, two hedge fund managers, one of them is in Epstein's black book," citing John Paulson, Paul Singer, and Miriam Adelson. "Those are max donors to the Speaker…NRCC…RNC…Trump's campaign."
What pill can make me feel like I'm always having a really good idea
We have so much gorgeous sci-fi on TV right now, I’m feeling spoiled. ALIEN: EARTH is a blast. I love ST: SNW very much. What else is current? Is INVASION good? The reviews are so mixed and my time is so limited.
It goes “snikt”. The action is tight* but I’ve used it more than any of my higher end knives for whatever reason. *not a euphemism
This is my wee EDC. I like the blunt shape and it’s super-light and thin, and affordable as I go through knives pretty fast.
Reading through some of my grandpa's writing about his deployment to Vietnam, 25 years into his military career in the Army. These are just some observations he made as he was preparing to leave, in July of 1969:
Maybe expertise is dead, but this is a truly bizarre claim, given 11 people were blown to bits on 47’s say-so for merely fitting a narrative.
Come for the labored ALIEN reference, stay for the chance to turn in to one by eating imported shrimp!

So glad Bennet mentioned podcast-brain, which is among some of RFK Jr's endless-seeming cognitive challenges.
fwiw this is entirely consistent with other reporting over the years about his behavior at the time but also, caveat, this is after experiencing a major and public trauma
Been watching a lot more RFK interviews than I have in the past lately and it’s striking how reactionary and privileged his ideology is. It’s all very much here’s this mundane thing that happened to my rich friend and how I misunderstood it and how it radicalized me.
surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity
I recall seeing this in theaters, just shy of 10 years old, and my legs literally shook during the finale.
Would things be any different if we weren’t mainlining the news about assholes all day, everyday?
It's not just VFC. Private insurance takes their cues from the ACIP regarding which vaccines are reimbursed.

Looks ideal.

Like others, RFK Jr. was the appointee I was most scared about and holy fucking shit has that proven to be perhaps my most legit fear on record.
WOW. These goons are insufferable. I recall similar folks telling me I should apply "bee sting therapy" to my disabled child.
right, no place is a *good* place to abandon modern medicine, but a densely populated tropical swamp is an unusually bad place to do so
Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky Roberts: "If you vote no, your stance will be clear. You will be choosing to stand on the side of the rich and powerful, allowing money to buy your way out of the consequence."
And when those previously eliminated diseases rampage through the US, other countries will curtail the ability of Americans to freely travel.
DeSantis and his quack surgeon general intend to eliminate all vaccine mandates for students to attend school. This empty political pandering will kill children and endanger all of us as unvaccinated people increasingly expose other residents and tourists to disease.
I was in a rush to get out the door to work and drove the 30 minutes here and realized I’d arrived wearing my house slippers. Hahahaha.
48 weeks seems appropriate tbh
Ok everyone agrees I get at least 48 hours to be obnoxious about this
All bangers, but if you’ve not seen ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, you really should. Not only is it funny it’s surprisingly brutal.
If you can track the boat on camera to slaughter everyone aboard then you can track the boat on camera to intercept the boat and arrest them
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
how are you even supposed to take spy movies seriously when laura loomer is making intelligence decisions oh, there’s an elaborate plot to steal the nation’s secrets? the ones being emailed to the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building? how dare they ruin one of the best genres
I think first episode had some
Re: Alien: Earth I’ve been saying since the first episode that the eyeball squid thing is gonna be a “good guy”. I don’t know if that’ll prove true, but I find myself rooting for her, lol.

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

September is suicide awareness month here in the US. This is idiotic:
Somehow, after half a century, I've found the "word of the day" list I've been looking for the whole time.
Looks great! Excellent shot
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. The word "beings" in this context, translates as "a spirit or human being of transcendental power." The

I can’t even believe I got this photo. I wasn’t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasn’t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx
Nobody under 55 watches cable news. Whatever your frustrations with non-retired voters are, they’re not getting their information from cable news.
Whatever the case may be, the well is poisoned.
I mentioned to a coworker I wasn’t on Facebook much anymore and he asked sincerely “where do you get your news then?”
Seems unlikely given the totality of MSM is no longer blaring stories on it 24/7 for months
The daily AI phone call I get offering me an unsecured loan has upped the offer every few weeks. It started out at $32k, and currently sits at $62K. I get the call every day between 4 and 6pm, sometimes twice a day, and by all accounts, my number is not part of a hack.
It remains staggering to me that, in the absence of meaningful penalties for the people at fault, this has simply become a part of ordinary modern life.
Wait till you hear about Nancy Reagan.
HAD NO IDEA. All I could think watching it last night was WOW that Dinklage charisma really shines through the makeup! I was wrong and now feel so confused. What a *stellar* physical performance.
WHY DO WE COMMUTE TO AN OFFICE IF ALL OUR MEETINGS ARE VIA TEAMS ANYWAY? MAKE IT STOP.

Record heat now outnumbers record cold by more than 3 to 1 in the US. In a normal climate, they’d be equal. After billions of years of natural hot & cold cycles, human forcing has now overtaken nature as the longterm driving force of our present & future climate.

there's a lot of Personalities on the internet whose entire thing is "intentional fear mongering" and while its a viable business plan, let it get to you and it will destroy you. Please, please log off every now and then and go meet a weird pigeon in your neighbourhood or whatever.
The new episode of the YouTube show I host just dropped, and it's a huge bummer! But important for people who don't already know all about this stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QUG...
Uh.....guys?
Whomever shot this episode knows how vital good lighting is to highlight Essie Davis’s incredible expressive face. Makes you realize how flat so many of our shows are.
It was great to see her character have something to do in the latest episode of Alien: Earth.
Essie Davis. Incandescent. “Ms. Fischer’s Murder Mysteries” is fantastic. Can believe we waited this long to watch it. Fischer is one of the best characters I’ve seen in television.
Will Kim has been in America since he was 5 and is researching a vaccine for Lyme disease.* He's detained indefinitely over a 2011 misdemeanor marijuana possession charge. Outrageous. * Years ago, Lyme gave me a high fever and Bell's palsy right before a TV interview. 0/5 stars, did not enjoy.
Texas made ivermectin available over the counter… Russia don’t need to do anything else
Wait, there was another shooting the day before the school shooting, this time in front of a Catholic High School? www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Delano CA was expected to peak at 105° this day as this farm worker worked in the almond orchards. He works 12 -16 hours a day for minimum wage sweeping up the fallen almonds so they can continue their processing. #WeFeedYou #calor
Seeing Depeche Mode in a rehearsal show, 2017, with about 30 other people. They played about 5 feet from me, like the basement punk shows of yore. Got to shake hands with Martin Gore.
Can we "send"* him? Perhaps to the front lines in Ukraine? Would he like that? *re: his patch
Hannity's idea doesn't make practical sense, and his suggestion we don't want to stop school shootings is vile. newrepublic.com/post/199739/...
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
