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

Forbes 30 under 30 gets another

I can't stop watching this. Help.

CHUDs trying to ruin your dinner order.

PTO. So it begins.

Dear Martha, The enemy lines draw closer but my regiment still stands. M brought in flowers and tomatoes from the garden while I walked to the corner falafel shop. He gave me some baklava to thank me for my service. I will trade it for brandied cherries at the troop's cocktail hour.

There it is!

Tylenol causes autism? Okay, then ibuprofen makes you gay and Aleve makes you poly. Since we're just making up pharmacology now, might as well lean into it.

FUN FACT: Autism was first diagnosed at least 40 years before Tylenol was created.

The fact that the backlash was, literally, from Karen tells you about the outrage.

In case anyone was wondering, even though cabin crews aren't allowed to wear masks on flights anymore (remember Trump I?), the off-duty crews can. And most did during my flight home on Friday.

Huh. I remember when NCOs were PISSED THE FUCK OFF when regs changed and they had to shave their beards. No, seriously! Someone realized gas masks didn't work with beards and these guys were like, "who tf cares! I want my luxurious man-fur!"

Listen, Bill Essayli, your government has already made me stand with Jimmy Kimmel. If you make me stand with Gavin Newsom, I will NEVER forgive you.

According to Snopes, this is actually 100% fact.

Fuck. Never in my life would I have said, "I stand with Jimmy Kimmel," but here we are.

The vehicular arms race has forced people into paying up in order to survive. It's no longer about quality or luxury, it's about being the family that's heavier, larger, and less likely to die in the eventual crash. This is predatory capitalism at its finest.

Holy shit, friends. You know what I'm talking about.

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

So I have to go to MSP this week for work and all the hotels are sold out. Why? Apparently they're having concerts of my playlist: Daisy the Great Rilo Kiley Viagra Boys The Damned

Folks. Vibe coding is a great way to help you in the sandbox: Get some code working. Figure out how it works. Clean up the wonky stuff. Send to Dev and QA, where you'll test, doc, and review. Push to Prod. Coding straight to Prod with beta software from a startup gets predictable results, too.

It’s disturbing that the President is hellbent on sending troops onto America’s streets. Using those who serve in uniform as political props is insulting. None of this is normal.

Whelp. Looks like it's time to fire up the ole' time machine, go back to 1982, and arrest Matthew Modine. Can't go to 1996 for Ryan Reynolds until I get that extradition warrant.

Hearing rumors that the shooter's bullets had La Dottrina del Fascismo engraved on them.

Huh. I wonder where they'll find a rando skinny White guy in Utah?

Unfortunately, the Cubs' Curse is the Ricketts.

Kirk lamented that Pelosi’s husband survived. He said women And girls must be raped for the species to survive He said school kids must be shot in order to have the right to own guns Fuck him I’m not celebrating, But I don’t give a fuck

"It's worth (it) to have the cost of some few deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment." - Charlie Kirk We didn't exactly see eye to eye on gun ownership, but he certainly made his point.

Hey folks, please don't use @iceblock.app until the developer fixes it WITH AN UPDATE THAT LITERALLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS. More here: micahflee.com/iceblock-han...

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP

Whelp. Looks like @muteki.bsky.social and I are in horny jail. Again.

Wait. "We're now realizing that AI isn't going to be the panacea promised, but if we admit it, the markets will take a huge hit, so just keep perpetuating the lie." Really? What happens after that $3 trillion is spent and wasted? Maybe realize the fucking truth now and mitigate the damage?

It sucks when cyclists who understand that the "scofflaws! dangerous! entitled!" stuff aimed at us is anti-cycling nonsense then turn around and use the exact same rhetoric against other groups of cyclists (usually ebikers or "lycra" cyclists.)

Timeline cleanse

You're having a dinner party with characters from Star Trek. What four are you inviting?

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

Friends, I'm super-late posting this, but if Silver's in your neighborhood and you have the time, I highly suggest checking a show. I'm not only a friend, but had the pleasure of working with Steve at one of the shittiest nightclubs in Chicago. HMU for my "Steve Silver" story....

"death panels" huh?

PLEASE @linkedin.com, I will actually use your platform if you give us "this guy is an idiot" and "what the actual fuck" emoji.

One of my favorite things about Frankenstein's monster that movies refused to get right is that the "monster" was beautiful and flawed. Shelly was aware of "uncanny valley" before it was even a concept. It was Frankenstein and society that were the real monsters. As it was and is.

Military vehicles in Chicago? Only on the commercial streets. Otherwise the weight limit is 8k# unless they get a special license. The lightest MRAP is 28k#. That license? It'll probably take 90 days and an inspection. That inspection? Doesn't look right. Gonna need to double-check it.

What. The. Absolute. Fuck.

Might I present: the cheesiest pickup line I’ve ever seen.

For $1B, I'll pack your corpse in salt and you'll be cured. Definitely not alive, but cured.

My contribution to Cybersecurity Awareness Month has been to prevent my company from using the BAD ACRONYM internally and with customers. Follow this for the inevitable fail post.

After 25 years of corporate politics: - If you claim unearned credit, for any reason, you are a shitheel - If someone is quiet, ask for their input - Amplify the work of your team - Use "we", "us", and "our" in public - Backchannel with your team to get context - No Friday push to prod

Remember the myth of the Welfare Queen? The idea that social support is an urban problem? Thanks to the GOP, it appears that 9 rural hospitals will close, cutting off support for over 10% of the state, all rural areas. 2500 jobs. That means even a larger burden on social services.
