Update: he’s still in-and-out, but the doctors say he’s stable. Woke up for a little bit & drank some water. We haven’t been able to communicate with him much, due to the pain meds. Letting him rest for now. The nurse just came back in, will follow up tmrw. Thanks for your prayers and kind words. ❤️

Missouri literally has a city named Versailles lol
You leave my smol bean empire alone
People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
they said most controversial
Rudy knew the truth

“Gamergate invented gender to ruin video games, so we had to become fascists to save America” There are enough people who believe exactly this to have probably swung the election
I got CS3 for free due to being on the high school newspaper team and kept that on my Mac for like 8 years until the machine finally died. Had everything you could need.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
Him dying would just have been a distraction from the Epstein Files anyway
This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.
I know this may seem like the perfect relationship, but beneath the happy exterior my tummy hurts.
When it turns out JD Vance is the only GOP politician actually against pedo organizations and he got into politics to take them out, Dexter style

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I have to remember to mention football.
Maybe if I duckface with a sling I made out of my own shirt, they’ll remember I’m still cool. It will be like I’m 20, again. The thundering footsteps of the fatal march of time won’t seem so close outside my door.
Furthermore, analysts are telling me that we should in no way attempt to go from stink to pink.
(At the board meeting, trying to sound like a CEO) We were in the pink first quarter, but have unfortunately dropped into the stink.
This is a marketing tactic designed to activate our ancestral instincts to chase down prey
If all of you think it’s funny to joke about another human being dying, then that guy must be a real asshole wow
Not convinced, I’ve seen a fancy goldfish in a hat.
When “algorithmic” is too hard to spell and it all seems like magic to you anyway

As things currently stand, I will resort to trying to convince at least one MAGA that the rumors are true and it’s now Gavin Newsom posting on Trump’s Truth Social
When Trump dies, the weirdest thing about it is going to be the 30% of voters who believe he’s still alive somewhere

Saw that new movie about the possessed Naruto runners. Really liked it.
The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer. This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
That’s terrible, I’m so sorry. Have been in a similar situation, it sucks.
Want to find the decaf that says it’s infused with the nothingness naturally found in me
I just got coffee that says it’s “infused with caffeine naturally found in coffee,” I’ll let you know how it goes.

Never do a good deed without inviting randos on bluesky to speculate how you might accidentally be helping the child of someone whose friend’s cousin works for the brother of a person who voted for Trump.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Perhaps I judged him too hastily
I did name him Apollo. Did not expect a plague upon my home library (this is the 2nd book he’s targeted)
He chose war.
Great @meredithshiner.com piece. newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Newsom: Trump better not send in the National Guard to attack California's homeless; that's my job!
sry I repost this every time I come across a goofy movie reference, it's a type of evangelism for me
"Fight fire with fire!" "So, use the expanded executive powers to reign in billionaires and special interests, and rebuild vital democratic institutions?" "No! Shitpost like Trump, but worse!"
Me, a radical: politicians should be viewed as public servants performing a specific job with very limited and clearly circumscribed powers. Cults of personality have no constructive place in a rational democracy facing complex issues. Folks online: okay MAGA
Basically, I'm saying that all the things we fundamentally care about involves steering us in the right direction and making transformational changes, and lining up behind Newsom simply for being willing to troll Trump does neither of those. This is Avenatti all over again (who is a legit criminal)
Btw, I don't think Newsom *is* the equivalent of Trump (there are many ways for a politician to suck), but winning accolades and political power for ironically acting like Trump, while supporting the kinds of policies that make poverty and discrimination worse, only digs us deeper into this hole
While Trump’s awfulness is in large part due to his policy positions, the general civic damage he’s doing is of a kind that would also be damaging, regardless of the policies behind it.
People apparently took “we need to fight fire with fire” to mean “we need our own Trump.” We definitely do not.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
But that’s just what they said you’d say
Or maybe in September he’s gonna announce a way to replace people’s mitochondria by injecting ivermectin, who knows
He’s reversing the direction of causality. Mitochondrial dysfunctions aren’t being misdiagnosed as ASD, ASD comprises a big umbrella that includes increased comorbidity with mitochondrial dysfunction. Although I’m giving him a benefit of the doubt here which he in no way deserves.

Still waiting on my check from Russia for all the divisive work I do encouraging people not let fear push them into throwing their fellow citizens under the bus.
If you disagree with that (cliche incoming) you are agreeing that the Republican party’s moral outlook is good, it just needs more personally palatable prey.
Engage with all this as though you believe politicians have agency, and that causing opportunistic harm is not a morally conscionable or justifiable way to win elections.
Bottom line is, if you see trans people not voting dem as an existential threat, that threat is coming from the Dems alienating trans people, and you should direct your complaints there.

I'm a real journalist, my job is to ask chatgpt its favorite color
It also shouldn't escape anyone's analysis that crying about the Cracker Barrel logo is the level of "comically unimportant problems" that the right has characterized racial and gender discrimination as.
They went more minimal with their logo like every other brand on Earth, but because the outrage is by a bunch of white people led by an erratic authoritarian who is working with/intimidating the media, suddenly CBS has to take it very seriously.
This is a wildly generous way to explain a right wing conniption fit over the fucking Cracker Barrel logo; especially at a time when incredible amounts of harm are being meted upon the public in the name of combating the "existential threat" of "overly sensitive elitism."
1925: in a hundred years, we’ll conquer disease, travel the stars, and all live in peace. 2025: Frankenstein discourse about a globe-burning term paper fabrication machine
an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening
Not only did they remove the old guy from the logo, I’m also finding out that wasn’t Uncle Kracker
Sort of, but in a more basic sense, the study's been misinterpreted to claim liberals don't care about their family (or their culture, country, etc.), and it's used alongside rhetoric about white replacement, foreign "invasion", and so on to show liberals/left/etc are complicit
Brave New World but the drug is tech bros filling their bank accounts
Self-described conservatives cared most about those in their inner circle (represented on the heat map as clustering around the center), left leaning people valued others far from the center (strangers, etc). I don’t remember the exact question asked, maybe someone else does, but that’s the gist
I haven’t looked at this in a long time, but it was something like a study showing how self-described left-learners versus right-leaners value people based on familial proximity.
We have one party existing on moral and political crises they made up whole cloth, and the only opposition is a party that believes discussing reality is unpopular so they have to Trojan Horse solutions in under the guise of the GOP’s mass delusion.

Sounds like the kind of job made up to serve as the protagonist’s driving motivation in Paul Blart Mall Cop 4. He always dreamed of being on the DC zoo swat team, etc
Yeah no I’ve met others, it’s real hit and miss
It's not even about self-respect, I just don't get why the people involved aren't embarrassed. They spent so much time screeching about feeling shamed by the left and yet seem completely content to wallow around as an open and proud bottom feeder for an aging, incoherent, and objectively goofy guy.
I genuinely don't understand the psychology of someone ambitious enough to work for this administration, but with a small enough ego to prostrate yourself so Trump can step on you on national TV.
