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!
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
Yeah, it feels a lot like the Big Balls story. Supposedly he, too, only got jumped by 15-year-olds because he was helping a damsel in distress. That seems to the their favorite tale now to zhuzh an otherwise embarrassing story.
no matter your politics itās disrespectful to joke about someoneās death. donāt say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. donāt say stuff like that
Good read.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the āpathological irony of crisisā: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
Haha
Bet it had something to do with the NRA giving him tons of money š¤

Uhhhh sourdough is more normal bread than the sugary, over processed stuff youāre bemoaning. Which you can still buy in any store.
The voters who keep falling for the obvious grift disgust me more.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
What?? The NYT is normalizing fascism yet again? What a shocking thing, after theyāve done the same for nearly a decade now!
They're banking on the pendulum not swinging back. Oh, but it will.
So I think we should finally get to be president. And we should have at least 50% of all elected offices. Thatās just fair.
One thing that I have learned while living in Canada is that Canadians fucking LOVE booze. I bet Canada boycotting anyoneās liquor would be devastating.
Ukrainian drones have just hit another oil refinery in Krasnodar. #explodey

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

When even Neil is saying, āokay, this is super unusual and itās not, like, IMPOSSIBLE that itās an artificial object made by some other civilization,ā you know itās wild indeed.
Uhhhhhh I fuckin told you guys.

Ukraine has currently disrupted 17% of Russiaās oil refining production. If they can get the level to 30%, domestic demand would far exceed supply. Thatās when things start to fall apart. (Data by Rochan Consulting)
Awww, this video makes me miss my zookeeping days!
I told them, āJust because Iām good at existing in this system doesnāt mean I think itās a good system.ā Itās unethical and unsustainable. Time for it to go to hell where it came from.
Iāve been fortunate enough to make good money in my career, yet I think capitalism is evil and needs to be actively dismantled and replaced with a pro-human, pro-planet system. Once someone who knew the details of my private life freaked out at me when they learned Iām opposed to capitalismā¦
Do you have questions about the near-future and COVID vaccination access? (I do.) Fortunately for us, my colleague @meghanbartels.bsky.social has answers. I'm so grateful for the information she pulled together in this article. www.scientificamerican.com/article/who-...
Good. I have questions and the American people deserve answers.

No :(
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
So, a National Guard soldier is just walking around inside our office building...carrying arms...while just inspecting rooms. So, it's not just them walking around outside around DC. They're actually walking IN buildings, too. F*ck all y'all who buy into this s**t from outside the DC bubble.
Well isnāt this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I donāt care if theyāre staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.
I am redoing my homeās interior design and I have never had so much fun.
The most alarming thing about the internet is how it kills our capacity for delight. People spend hours scrolling glass-eyed through content that brings only crumbs of amusement. Real joy is found in the real world: in reading, in starlight, in birdsong, in service to others.
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Me too. The greed is revolting.
I will!!!
Butchart Gardens is incredible at every time of year! One of the worldās great gardens. Glad you visited my beautiful city! ā¤ļøš¤ā¤ļø

You can set your watch to it.
Yeah, I agree. It needs to happen. We need to get it done. Butā¦ how???? Itāll take someone way smarter than me to figure it out.
Nope. Weāre in for a rough ride for a few years. My husband and I are actually moving from the city back to our tiny cottage because it has a well, solar panels, and a garden where we can grow a significant amount of the fruit and veggies we need. Itās hunker down time, in whatever way folks can.
Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant šā” This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city š
Holy shit, I hadnāt seen that training video š
Arrgh what
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
Ed āBig Ballsā Coristineāwho worked tech ops for Elon Muskās DOGE projectāis under FBI investigation for data theft. This is the same 19-year-old who was linked to a cybercrime ring earlier this year.
Iāve eaten @ Cracker Barrel once, on a road trip that passed through KY. They said my entree came with choice of vegetable. No option was an actual vegetable. (Mac & cheese, biscuit, etc.) I chose āappleā because it was closest to a veg. Turned out to be just apple pie filling. š¤·āāļø dog shit food.

I still havenāt seen this movie. The very concept feels too real to me š¬
Yes, because wealth loses power under socialism. But too bad, so sad for them. There are way more of us than them.
Ugh, is pp still here??? How did he not wither up from sheer humiliation when his own riding rejected him?

Iām sorry you lost your friend.
Vanity Fair staffers threaten to walk out over a proposed Melania cover: āWe are not going to normalize this despot and his wifeā¦ if this happens, iām gone, and so is half my team.ā www.thedailybeast.com/i-will-walk-...
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Totally. Conservative culture is just constant pants-pissing and then posturing desperately to try to convince everyone you arenāt really a gigantic baby terrified of literally everything in this life.
So get your news from independent sources. :) I like The Guardian.
She had hoped to study here and get into an American university, but after that experience, she decided to go back to Thailand because America is too fucking insane and dangerous. No one in the family blamed her for that.
It has been over 10 years, but I have never forgotten the feeling when my young sister-in-law was in a high school shooting. She had listed Paul as one of her emergency contacts, so we were alerted and then were frantic to find out if she was ok. A horrible day.
This going to be. I called it. (Though I also think France and South Korea are strong contenders. But Canada has more land, fresh water, and rare earth mineralsā¦ all critical resources now.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
Jesus, another fucking shooting?
used to be you could get an indictment against a ham sandwich. now you can't even indict a guy who throws a ham sandwich. folks, www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

HAAAAA. Hope that racist fucker never recovers.
Every media outlet thatās owned by a billionaire will do the same. The billionaires want the Republicans because Republicans wonāt regulate them and tax them.
Disturbing. But this is why itās critical to know historyāso we donāt repeat it.
Also my organization @interruptcrim.bsky.social along with our partners Community Justice Exchange and Critical Resistance created a jury nullification toolkit that seems more topical than ever: beyondcourts.org/en/act/votin...
I was apparently the first person to say anything about Sandwich Guy on Tik Tok and all I did was lightly chuckle over the fact that it happened and that dumb video went viral and got like 700k views. š We all love Sandwich Guy.
Itās actually been about 7 hours and 15 days since that guy threw a sandwich at law enforcement.
we gotta put bitch boy sam altman in the enormous pressure machine such that he dies
Oh shit, is that a candy roaster squash? Those are the best.
I grew up Mormon, so yes š
Zero-self-respect move. Humiliating for them.
I donāt know about you all, but I feel thoroughly intimidated!
Iāve said it before but reading all the medieval history books Iāve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after theyāre gone.
Just more proof of what Iāve been saying all along: theyāre all incredibly stupid people.
šØ We flipped an Iowa State Senate seat in a special election tonight!!! šØ Congrats to Senator-elect Drey!!! šŗšø
Can we just talk about how itās kinda cute that the PM winds a string around his finger while heās thinking?
Itās always a good idea to keep your credit frozen, anyway, as a general safety precaution. But especially now!
Itās truly awful. I like putting a sprinkle of pumpkin spice into my unsweetened morning coffee (with cream.) but sweetening it? No. Especially not to the degree that Starbucks does it.
Those specials are not looking good for Republicans š No wonder the fash is scared.

Big bootlicker energy, plus this is comment # 666
I love coffee. I love that cinnamon-clove-ginger spice combination. I fucking HATE pumpkin spice lattes. Revoltingly sweet.
