The indicators to wear a mask just continue to pile up. Comfort will soon cease to be comfort and become the vehicle through which people's lives change forever.

yeah it's a good thing Landon didn't publish any of this shit. the Times might have had to bump an article about trans people. bsky.app/profile/arid...

When the editorial is 🔥

You'd think wine would be the worst thing for your liver at Thanksgiving, but it's actually the MASH potatoes.

When I say everyone who participated and sheltered these people needs to be accountable, I i clude these people who knew and just kept it to themselves, too.

The holiday shenanigans begin...

Universe telling us it's ok to put up Xmas decorations now.

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

I got in an argument with someone so I sent them laxatives later as a peace offering. I wanted to sennoside our differences.

Calling your senators is all well and good, but this shows that current Dems will let the not-rich die for minor inconveniences to the rich. We need to advance the timeline for organizing a national strike. Electoral politics continues to fail. Time to show the power of labor.

This was shared in a Discord I'm in, and honestly, I think if this isn't enough to get people looking at self-hosted and decentralized alternatives to Youtube (like Peertube), I'm not sure what is.

What's a urologist's favorite part of Thanksgiving? Carving the TURPey

Happy owner of an original @kaseygifford.bsky.social. Sadly for me, it's gonna be a gift for someone else, but I'm keeping the stickers.

Arson is out today! The Stealing from Wizards Quadrilogy is complete! Binge some wholesome Canadian wizard school fantasy. Fall in love with the characters and the world. 💙📚

Which antiemetic sees a spike in prescriptions around Thanksgiving? Zocran

"Ella Halpern-Matthews has had half a lung removed and suffers from chronic chest infections." Protecting the vulnerable requires you to protect *everyone*. How are you going to tell who has chronic infections or missing parts of the lungs with your eyes? Please wear a mask, N95 or better. 1/

In reviewing the leftover candy from Halloween, the current generation of kids treats Twizzlers the same way older generations treated wax lips, Necco wafers, or those gross Mary Jane PB taffy candies.

While I dreamt in pre-dawn napping Suddenly there came some rapping Paired with beats and butt-cheeks clapping Stamping on the upstairs floor “’Who the heck,” I madly muttered, “Raps this loud at half-past four?" Quoth my neighbor, "MACKLEMORE"

George RR Martin, laughing as he types away in WordStar on a PC from the 80s that can't even connect to the internet.

I won't eat cottages. Too big, can never finish one on my own.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

Me: hello I need accommodations Them: what’s your dx? Me: well I don’t have one but I do need a reasona- Them: no dx no accommodations Me, later: I has dx! Them: ugh everyone getting labels so trendy Me: I can has accommodation? Them: no, you’re faking Them: labels hurt people Me: YOU hurt people

PCP’s A.I. scribe turns “degenerative disc disease at the L3-4 level” to “one of his lumbar discs is three-quarters damaged” This shit literally may make me leave the profession.

What kind of ghost do radiologists become when they die? Shades

I would normally find this kind of cheekiness extremely funny except I'm often the one who has to clean the goddamn things whenever some new employee tries to tube an MRSA swab to the lab.

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

What do you give a possessed person with a stomach ulcer? Spookcralfate

*some time in the future* "Aw, your kids are so adorable!" Thelma: "Yep! They're my lil' barbitchurates."

Tragic: One of the worst people you know actually needs protected from somehow even worse people

I feel like the LLM era is the perfect time for someone to relaunch the text-a-librarian reference service. It doesn't have to just be text, we can do email. But you can submit a question and a reference librarian working remotely will respond to it within an hour with verifiable resources.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

Still think it's just fear? If you won't do it for your friends, or for your co-workers, or yourself, then please mask for children at the very least. You don't know who has kids and who doesn't. You don't know if you're giving COVID to a parent who will pass it to their kid and fuck their life up

"There's fresh cookies being kept warm in the toaster oven."

Cybertruck drivers inconsolable that they can never hope to match the raw sexual energy of a Toyota Sienna.

I don’t think any world where birds still sing on telephone lines and breezes still drag dry leaves across sidewalks is beyond saving.
