That last sentence of the first paragraph is… interesting.

The nominee for DHHS sounds like he’s been gargling with acid-covered gravel for the last 50 years. I like watching the confirmation hearings but this one is definitely on mute.

Is there a way to track average grocery item prices, preferably by state?

JD Vance’s internal monologue is the noise a microwave makes. He’s just on the defrost cycle and every time it beeps it’s Thiel telling him what to do.

For those tracking politics longer than I have - when did you notice polarization and politicization of “routine” government processes? I recall the rise of the Tea Party movement, but was there some other political identify in the early 2000s? Or D/R, extreme polarization prior to Obama?

#SissySpaceX isn’t that creative - he butchered a quote of the great Lex Grossman youtu.be/UQbhaJU3hBo?...

At the very end there seems to be a *sliver* of cognition of how bonkers she sounds

A real 💎

YES! I fondly (kind of) remember a night when all my roommates when home for the holidays - some Black Seal rum and this song on repeat

I must have missed the part in the Constitution where, prior to inauguration, a *President-elect* is given power over Congress. Yet here we are.

Best take I’ve seen so far.

How is he getting that message to the impacted people? Look at the social media platforms where SS recipients are active. Where they get their news. X is not their primary source. And given that we’re all exposed to the fear tactic, he needs to deliver that message in real terms, where people are.

RFK Jr’s problem is that vaccines are injected into muscles. He purportedly only has experience with injecting substances into his own veins. I mean, plus that whole longitudinal, peer-reviewed study aspect of vaccines. But I digress.

💯 accurate take

Nancy was a master at counting the votes. When she was Speaker, nothing came to the floor unless she had every Dem in line. She was an expert at playing the game, 2010 Tea Party to Jan 2021 MAGA. Just perhaps - octogenarians aren’t the best voice for Dems.

Not many people that cosplay as idiot savants can publicly garner this much gov’t financial support and, thereby, access. Elon would be the kid in the dark corner messing with a fidget spinner if he hadn’t had the money he claims to not have inherited.

Vivek knows how to dupe investors and run away with profits before the stock, as expected, tanks. Elon knows how to buy someone else’s idea, pretend it was his, and use his market share to generate monopolies and manipulate markets. They’re not entrepreneurs, they’re viruses.

Great take - and I’m sure the thinnest-skinned “adult” ever will take it well 🫠 Let’s all do our part to make sure TFG sees it

Ohhh - that’ll touch a nerve.

They’re not only lies - they’re totally incoherent. We’re so used to the sane-washing of his “statements” - read the transcripts, they’re astonishing

When I was in college (and broke), I took out $20 from an ATM. Overdrafted by $0.17. Bank let me withdraw the cash and then charged $30 in overdraft fees. MF, if I don’t have $20 in my account, what makes you think I have $30 to pay for fees? Why didn’t they just block the transaction?? A-holes.

In these trying times, there’s nothing like re-listening to #MDWAP eps 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Made appt to get my IUD replaced a little early. Scheduler said appt requests were non-stop, and that they were booking out new patient appts to February.

🚨🚨🚨Something to keep in mind for any third-party DNA testing - how long before your genetic predisposition to adverse health conditions is sold to an insurer? That + repeal of ACA = slippery slope from “pre-existing” to “predisposed”🚨🚨🚨

YAY! Welcome, Niall!

Coming from the guy who’s disowned by one kid and used Wingdings to name another

I worked with hospital procurement teams during COVID. Some were in tears because they couldn’t even get bleach. Meanwhile, calls to Poison Control skyrocketed because his bonkers followers were injecting/ingesting it. #SMDH
