AMA and other groups to join together to create a system to review vaccine safety and effectiveness in response to problems at CDC due to RFK Jr. (gift article) #Medsky wapo.st/4tr8lid

The church in my old neighborhood in Hamtramck is having another one of their very good curbside Polish dinners! This one is on Valentine’s Day! ❤️🤍

Oh damn Kuzzo’s is closing!

In retrospect I sometimes wish we had named the cat McNichols, which was two blocks from the liquor store where he was found. It would have been an incredible bit to put McNichols on all his paperwork and only ever refer to him as Six Mile

Putting it out there that I'm going to put up some of my original Power Lines Drawings for sale in a few weeks. Not sure yet which ones, so if you've been interested in one, please reach out to me. Prices will vary but I'll post the drawings shown here for $200 marcusjmerritt.com/power-lines-...

Update: did it

As someone who lived in the first Muslim majority city in the US until very recently, Sharia law is not a thing in this country. These people just want to be racist against Muslims.

@motzenballer.com Ellsworth tried the jalapeño hummus from Anita’s when I dropped some on the floor (he is fast). He finishes most things he manages to get but this he tasted and then just kind of looked at skeptically. Lucky for him it wasn’t very hot today

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

the public health response to this has to be “close the camps and free them all” and nothing less

He looks like a guy that hangs out at the marina digging through the ashtray for some good butts

Damn. RIP

Maybe I should mail my valentines from the mailbox by Marvin Gaye’s house. I feel like that would grant them some extra power

Oh my godddd buddy the bridge is built. It’s built! The extent to which it was built more by Canada is because our side couldn’t get our shit together, so they took charge and made it happen. Please stop being a jackass to our neighbors oh my god

Hey all- with the latest rounds of testing and cancer stuff, I’m falling behind big time after last year’s round of cancer stuff. The most important thing right now is I can’t afford my medications or two bills that hospital won’t add onto payments I’m making for last year. paypal.me/RustBeltRebel

Yes. For those covering Springfield Ohio and team Trump’s obsessions with terrorizing it these days, DHS is being tied up in court, but if you’re checking in with your people there today, you’ll see the climate of fear and confusion is already having an effect on residents, Haitian and otherwise

FEMA is only now starting to reimburse the city of St. Louis for spending on tornado relief, 8 months after the tornado. But funding for a police boat for St. Louis County got a greenlight in mere weeks. @ryankrull.bsky.social has the scoop www.stlmag.com/news/fema-po...

Remembering the Flint Sit-down Strike, from a booklet about the @uaw.org’s 1955 program for GM workers. Less than 20 years in the rear view mirror, it was clear the sit-down strike was a transformative moment for American workers. From the UAW archives at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.

Wild to think that anyone was offended by the calls for love and acceptance and western hemisphere solidarity in Bad Bunny’s performance after watching Kendrick Lamar murder a Canadian man last year.

There are “less terrible than ring” options if people do cameras. We went with blink cameras when we had neighbors from hell. Cops can’t automatically get the footage. There’s supposed to be some way you give them a temporary password but we couldn’t get that to work so we just showed them vids IRL

We are not usually camera or cop people but this was a very extreme situation. Shoutout to a friend with a similar “well I have to film my house for safety now, uhhh what is not Ring” predicament for sharing their research.

i just saw someone say "Kid Rock makes music for the people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody" and hol up i need a minute

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El Apagón it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

We still have agents going to the same places everyday. This is ongoing. I like Amanda’s work but she is wrong on this. The have only removed the roving caravans that existed to create riots. Nothing else different

Did not realize until today that DTMF uhh also stands for Debí Tirar Más Fotos

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

@andrewathias.bsky.social posted on twt that he was one of the grass people. He said the requirements were “Be between 5'7 and 6'0, have an athletic build, and be able to wear a 50 lb costume for 5+ hours”

If “any time someone speaks another language around me, they must be gossiping about me” was a TV network

Very very this!!

After the sign that said “CONEJO.” The presence of the child can be multivalent!!

go wet birds

It’s Jiji!

This is a thing these days, the “pay to take my class about how I make money!” MLM. There’s another one I kept running across on TikTok about buying a class on a way people supposedly make money writing letters (they mostly don’t).

Yeah I’ve seen “progressives” in other cities saying the blockades are a step too far… ICE agents drive like they’re in GTA. Even beyond the kidnapping and the murder, they‘re speeding and crashing their cars everywhere. With zero consequences.

I’m surprised Significantly Worse Halftime isn’t taking off for some reason?? No one’s excited to watch Untalented Random Racists Halftime?

Loot that drops for defeating me: -an overdue library book (fines transfer to you) -partially destroyed cat fishing pole -hot pink stationery -USPS Forever Stamps in designs u didn’t know existed Your phone starts pinging w doctor appt reminders. Suddenly yr nails r longer & painted VERY glittery

An 18 month old was *sent back to prison*.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Ellsworth is begging for the charge cable I bought. Delicious charger cable

Lads I have some small buttons to share and want to send a few to my penpals. Do we think putting them between slim pieces of cardboard inside a regular greeting card would work in the mail? Hoping to have this be a “things I already have, no specially bought envelopes” type production

I mean everyone I know is constantly wondering why they are so tired and there are collective realities that are exhausting and draining us.

There was this old Sweet Juniper essay about walking down the Dequindre Cut back when it was abandoned and overgrown railroad tracks, and running into a naked man playing a trumpet and kinda going “oh shit… well he obviously doesn’t have a weapon, this is fine actually”

Oh nice, the full range of Slavic emotions

Sometimes I think about the guy who wrote about being deprogrammed from this bullshit by reluctantly getting drinks with his coworkers after work one day and seeing that they didn’t talk about any of the stuff that incel internet said was so important, and you can just make friends if you want to

Every time the drone gets in the shot in a luge run, it looks like they are desperately trying to escape an angry giant bug
