The US medical device/pharmaceutical industries are gold standard and putting them in the hands of these unqualified hacks is unforgivable. God just humiliation on humiliation.

Yeah, this happened.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

These marshmallows are terrible. Not even sticky

At the foot of Taylor Glacier, in Taylor Valley, Antarctica, is a "Blood Falls", an ominous and disturbing natural phenomenon. First observed by a 1911 expedition led by geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor (for whom the valley & glacier are named), it was originally thought to be red algae, but...

Free advice: if you find Quentin Tarantino bashing you in the press… repeat after me. “I was unaware that Harvey Weinstein’s best friend was so critical of me and my work.”

This hit me straight in the feels

Did ... Did I also jinx Ilia? With my fantasy skating? I don't like this power #GrandPrixFinal

Misha I am so sorry, I jinxed you by putting you on my fantasy skating team. #GrandPrixFinal

Adam changed his costume! Thank God! #FigureSkating #GrandPrixFinal

Watching as much of the #GrandPrixFinal as I can after a long day. I see Luka is still pioneering new and exciting ways to give the audience a heart attack.

Spending 41 minutes deliberating and then deciding to kill two men clinging to the debris of their boat is nothing more or less than premeditated murder. There is no rationale that justifies this. There is no magic sequence of words or arguments that excuses it. It was cold-blooded murder.

Now more than ever we need to internalize the true message of 'A Christmas Carol', which is that you have a moral obligation to not make your past traumas everyone else's problem

Stuff like this makes me dearly hope there is a Hell for these people to burn in.

Listen, me and my cat with anxiety did not come here to be insulted like this.

Trump's white nationalist aides are churning out vile videos glorifying migrant suffering. But Trump-MAGA are *losing* the online culture wars over deportations, because the humane side is info-warring better. Check out @paulwaldman.bsky.social and me on this: newrepublic.com/article/2038...

Is the ISU YouTube not streaming the Junior Grand Prix Final this year? Usually the events would already show up as an upcoming stream by now, and a speed skating event on the 6th does, but none of the figure skating. Peacock doesn't have them, so that will be a bummer. #GrandPrixFinal #GPF

This genuinely has me in tears.

I've had a rough day, and I think I've earned this. GOAT PAJAMA PARTY. Goats are from @sunflowerfarm.bsky.social in Cumberland, Maine (via their YT). Bless their chaotic little hearts and tiny pink noses.

Bonus points to the author of the article for the use of "splooted," which feels especially appropriate for drunk raccoons.

the number of subsistence-level fishermen living in desperate fear right now because Kegseth and co have to make snuff videos for twitter is just...you get very angry if you think about all this too long

Some darlings are great; if we killed them all, Shakespeare would be awfully bland. But some darlings don't belong in the story you wrote. Better to determine what needs to go during the editing phase. Don't bother during the first draft phase. That's the official Darlings Recess. They get to play.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Is it an excused absence to call out of work because I couldn't sleep because my neighbors were having loud sex all night? #ApartmentLiving

If I saw someone drinking a beer I wouldn't even comment on it. If I saw someone eating the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk I'd feel obliged to say "Mr Kennedy, nobody is making you do this."

Sometimes you just have to make Christmas happen, and let the joy follow later. (Kittens in Christmas ornaments are pretty great though)

"Silent Night" for Christian and "All I Want for Christmas" for secular (no amount of overplay will ever dim it for me)

The time he saw a big fly

this is quite the detail

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

I saw a headline that led me to discovering the Korean Olympic Qualifying Events are going on now and I have full body anxiety. So much so I considered lighting a candle for Chaeyeon and Jia but the nearest Catholic church is closed. (I am not Catholic.)

I love this, and am also curious about the throws under them

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack. The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

I had to read this screenshot five times to understand the second film recommended was not "Santa's slave." I was like ... oh they're getting freaky in the Hot Santa fandom.

I haven't been live posting since I'm so far behind but damn, Lia and Trent selflessly sacrificed their luck to help their compatriots in every other discipline at the #FinlandiaTrophy and that is what I will choose to believe until my dying day.

omg they made Jeffrey Epstein Inbox Simulator '25 jmail.world

Putin is so cunning that we mere mortals cannot comprehend his brilliant strategy of wiping out Russia’s military and wealth

I checked: There's no rule in hockey that a dinosaur can't drive a Zamboni. Let's talk about Frank Zamboni's marvelous invention. Frank was born in 1901 to Italian immigrant parents & raised on a farm in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho (ironically?).

Clean Roman SP?! The Canadian men have been bolstered by the Jays! #FinlandiaTrophy

I'll put my thoughts on the men's short program for #FinlandiaTrophy here. Listen, I love a good spooky program, but Mikhail Selevko, what _are_ you wearing?

The YouTube algorithm, very confused about why I love figure skating content and KPop Demon Hunters content and have watched the video of Jacob Sanchez skating to "Your Idol" fifty times, but keep asking it not to recommend me videos of Haein Lee skating to KPDH songs.

Finally staring #FinlandiaTrophy. I'll put my pairs thoughts here.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

Breaking: Administration officials working overtime to find turkeys with sexual assault and crypto scam convictions so the President can pardon them

I took today off and thank God I did because due to weather delays I ended up not getting back home until after midnight. I am filling the day with the last two competitions of #SkateAmerica, the last forty minutes of Stranger Things S4, and as much of #FinlandiaTrophy as I can watch after that.
