Trump is using crime as a pretext for military occupations of cities as part of his plot to become a dictator. Which means we ought to be talking less about crime and more about his plot to become a dictator.

You have 76.6K followers, and you constantly say things that invite negative feedback, most likely because you like attention. That doesn't equate to 'an abuse problem that's destroying the user base', but you know that, you're just trying to garner attention. Well done. Whining works. Congrats!

These are the coolest things! Friends send them home with me in a road trip care package (which was full of delicious sandwiches and other snacks). Onigiri: this one is salmon and mayo in rice, wrapped in dried seaweed. The package keeps the seaweed and rice separated until you open it so stays dry.

I expect a lot of people who wind up joining Nazi groups do so because they're already vulnerable, isolated, and susceptible to the gaslighting of those movements who give them something to belong to and someone to blame. Those groups need to be made unattractive again and those affiliations unsafe.

Sen. Patty Murray is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired." "I hope my Republican colleagues who have come to regret their vote to confirm RFK Jr. will join me."

Thanks. My own fault, was rushing, and it could have been worse, but I’m about to crush up Tylenol and Advil and do them as lines.

Was loading a 20’ cube van last night, lost my footing at the top of the ramp and went into the asphalt shoulder first. Didn’t break anything, I managed to roll through it and distribute the impact, but holy hell is my entire body ever stiffening up this morning and just one big ache. Be careful!

If you’re concerned about security, make sure nobody on your conference calls and video meetings is running an automated transcription app unless you’re absolutely sure that capture is secure and everyone is aware and opts in. It’s not “off the record” if it’s said out loud while being recorded.

So incompetent, uniformed, reckless, and putting her people in harm’s way, and in charge. Cool!

This is a hell of a letter. “The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines…will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer….Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated…”
