I really dislike those shirts that say stuff like "My therapist/antidepressant has four legs and a wet nose" because yeah dogs and cats are nice but they aren't replacements for those things!

I'm listening to The Dark Tower by Stephen King years after I read it as a teenager and I have a few observations: 1. Wow I should not have been allowed to read this as a teenager

Actual thing I said today: Goddamn Cybertruck, wish I had an egg to throw at it... That reminds me, gotta get eggs.

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

When a patient shows signs of sepsis, minutes matter. But treating every case the same can lead to overtreatment or deadly delays. #StanDOM's Purvesh Khatri & team have developed a rapid blood test that helps clinicians make faster, more precise calls. https://stanford.io/47pbk1J

Something like those caravans of refugees that would begin deep in Central America and then crawl along for weeks toward our southern border as Fox News spits out fearful jeremiads. Except this will be a stream of BMWs and Benzes on car carriers on I-95 to Florida. And who gives a listless fuck.

On my way into work I did a double take at a truck that was passing me because it was called Mr Beast Roofing and then I got a closer look at the logo.

This is complete hogwash

This you, @jamieloftus.bsky.social?

I keep forgetting which one Cuomo is. I thought he was the Bridgegate guy but that was Chris Christie. Cuomo is the sexual misconduct guy.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

A ballistic vest meant to stop a bullet “is definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich thrown at you," Sean Dunn's defense attorney argued.

This is the "felony footlong" patch that the defense displayed in closing arguments in the sandwich guy trial, but it was never introduced in evidence, so jurors were told to disregard.

I'm still laughing thinking about a "paleo" blog that promoted the use of maple syrup in place of and-I-quote processed sugar. Look I grew up in maple syrup country, my neighbors made it, and in terms of raw time maple syrup is probably *the* most time intensive variety of sugar to produce.

It’s funny how right wing blowhards will take a picture of themselves puffing on a cigar to look tough and cool when it makes them look like the type of dingus Bugs Bunny taunts for 5 to 8 minutes before murdering them with dynamite

A discussion about the idea of famous #vampires getting into a battle royale resulted in me imagining #Strahd getting double teamed by Count Chocula and The Count from Sesame Street. "One! One little bitch! Ah-ah-ah!"

there’s an election for Cat Mayor currently happening in Somerville, Mass. and every cat deserves to win

I was reading about war pigeons the other day and found this guy. I couldn't get the image out of my head of my poor great-grandfather Frank in a field hospital outside Meuse-Argonne after he got shot there, looking over and seeing a one legged pigeon in the bed next to him.

Found myself quoting a guy I worked with as an EMT who is jow a nurse: "Sometimes you have a day when you're like 'at least the last patient had pants on.'" Meanwhile I am afflicted with Sleepy Bitch Disease today.

#TheWalkingDead crew is filming in #Brockton so a fire photographer I know has some photos of that. You might see Neegan around the area. He has some hilarious photos of people in zombie makeup hanging out between takes. Cue jokes that no one even noticed because Brockton. (C. Dave Stewart)

I know this story via a member of the Quincy Massachusetts police department so I am pretty sure it's true. While cleaning the USS Salem (CA-139) which is docked as a museum ship, someone accidentally turned on the radar which hadn't been turned on since 1959 when the ship was decommissioned...

My dad has a joke that with self driving cars becoming a thing soon enough we'll have a country song where a guy's girl, dog and truck all leave him.

A couple cool things about this arc coming up in my #Darkon game: I adapted it from the original Bleak House module which is massive so I pared it down considerably. Some of the text I read aloud is directly from the original but a lot is me.

Hate it. I believe the spirit of Qin Shi Huang should have the right to haunt this architect.

Did I ever mention why Strahd in our original #CurseOfStrahd game was straight instead of bi like he is in canon?

Fucking YouTube. Watching my horse girl show and I hear Noem's voice "If you're an illegal alien..." FUCK OFF ICE BARBIE

All right, baby's first 4 intubations complete! Feel like a real medic now.

Realizing my paramedic program kinda sucked even without COVID completely fucking us over. I don't think I could recommend it to anyone in good faith realizing how much they didn't teach us that is supposed to be standard.

I was listening to an interview with someone who was in that Twin Flames Universe cult. And would have been *so* vulnerable to that had I stumbled on it at the right time in my life.

I know the premise sounds silly but #Umamusume: Cinderella Grey is genuinely a really good show. The animation is top notch and the opening is a banger.

Oh yeah, it's all coming together. The story here is guy was taking his drunk buddy home in a wheelbarrow, didn't pay attention to the sign so buddy lost his arm. #Halloween

This came on Tidal and I was like "WTF this is awesome" #Gaupa youtu.be/4UrsItCpVkY?...

It's ##selfpromosaturday again, so what are folks in the #TTRPG space up to? Drop your links below!

I'm still laughing at Mare, a PC in my #Darkon game, who, for the second time in the course of about 24 hours, tripped and fell down the stairs because she realized she was talking to The capital T capital M Mists.

My work partner told me something really funny yesterday, which is that being around me is the experience of hearing me go from the "pleasant customer service voice" to the "shut the fuck up" medic voice in the space of a breath.

IMO, #ttrpg criminals should be complex. Some can be outright evil, others should make players question if they have a point and yet others should be genuinely good people that your players want to help. Makes the game more dynamic And the players think about how they affect the world💙

I was just at a senior health fair this morning and Doterra had an entire booth there. I could barely hide my disgust since I was in uniform and on duty and didn't want to anger the organizer by voicing what I thought of this.

It's extremely funny to me that van Richten keeps proving through his rolls that he's the most competent person in the game. And hilariously that is the first time the command spell has ever actually worked when I've used it.

The person was okay, for the record, besides getting some booster shots. But that is actually an exposure to take very seriously.

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS #nutmegsky www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Nice try, Strahd.

It's now October, and that means #SpookySeason! Two of my seasonal #DMsGuild titles for #DnD5e are now on sale! Pick up both Samhain Eve: The Masquerade and Embarr’s Haunted Harvest Maze for $1.99 until October 31st!

ER wait times are going to be much longer when 13.7 million Americans lose their Medicaid coverage over the next decade due to this administration’s billionaire tax cuts, not to mention the higher premiums from expiring ACA subsidies, the thousands of jobs being lost every month, & massive inflation

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

let the gourd times roll

On the board in our ER someone is in for "bat exposure" and yes I know their immune systems are ten kinds of fucked up and they carry a lot but I still laughed. Welcome to October!
