it is currently -14°C (7°F) and snowing, and on Thursday it is supposed to be 17°C (63°F)

a few weeks ago I had a patient perfectly articulate the concept of debility to me from first principles and I haven't stopped thinking about it since

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

okay so apparently August's PCA has been using an UNGODLY amount of laundry detergent with each load and now he's out early 🙃🙃🙃

a group of people were like "i found a way to live my life as a truer version of myself" and instead of being like "that's beautiful, how can i help" people were like "i don't think schools should have books in them anymore"

Carney eyes Bloc MP to complete his collection

got assigned to sit with a patient who had a history of fainting with vaccines and after a few minutes of small talk he mentioned Lord of the Rings, and that's the story of how the pharmacist had to come looking for me 20 minutes later to check the patient hadn't passed out after all

Good news for a change

Hey friends, just a reminder that I'm disabled without income and in pain. I need help paying down some debt and buying meals. venmo.com/code?user_id... cash.app/$CAugustMcMu... PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen

"and other than that, Mr. Hegseth, how is the Strait?"

“At some point, in ideal conditions, maybe I would be able to cobble together some feelings about Donald Glover playing a digital dinosaur, but right now I’m tired—very, very tired,” said Wisconsin resident Gina Logan

"He's high on codeine." "No, that's how firefighters talk about the job." "What?" "Yeah, they really do love their job and what they do." "They like running into burning buildings?" "Yup." "That's fucking weird."

I love the "could this be a solution" post because it's a perfect example of Founder brain. You have to be a special kind of stupid to imagine that you are the first person to come up with the idea of driving around the Strait of Hormuz. It's being so dumb that you think everyone else is even dumber

> prescribes birth control to control a patient's period symptoms > prescribes the kind with the lowest rate of amenorrhea and doesn't do continuous cycling

Every candidate in NDP leadership race comes in third

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

most people in love with the frission of transgression just played Cards Against Humanity until they grew up a little, idk

okay listen I was NOT unprofessional I was BUILDING RAPPORT by MIRRORING THE PATIENT'S LANGUAGE and using LAY TERMS -- me after a patient said "it's really fuckin *mumbles*" and I said "it's really fuckin what?"

in fairness to Qin Zheng imagine being put into an induced coma "for a few weeks" and when you wake up it's 200 years later and you are accidentally engaged to an 18-year-old sociopath who impulsively did a military coup with absolutely no plan for the aftermath

WOW you're telling me that trans woman set us back ten years and she didn't even warn us about the 2016 election??? smdh

new word alert: SLOPPELGÄNGER an ai “clone” of a person (derogatory)

This is where the real humiliation kink comes in. He asked. They lied out of vanity and we get to see how pathetic they all are.

This has been pointed out many times (including by Evan!), but it bears repeating that this is the same playbook used to sow suspicion on vaccinations and the existence of climate change.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Watching Casey Means' testimony to be Surgeon General and she's being unbelievably squirrely about vaccines. This exchange w/ Senator Kaine in which she tries to worm out of saying whether or not she believes flu vaccines are beneficial is appalling. (At 1:48:42, but it should be cued up.)

My parents were going to name me Michael Blaine if I were a boy. Then they had my brother and named him something else. Then they had two more girls they were going to name Michael Blaine if they'd been boys. I figure it got saved for me.

i don't understand why -- if condemning the war in Iran is too hard -- the line hasn't just been "Well, over the past year we've gotten pretty mixed signals about whether the US considers us allies or not, let me know when they've decided"

Trump could nominate Mary freaking Poppins for NSA director and I would refuse to confirm her at this point. What are we doing here.

Randall Boggs 🤝 Li Shimin being incredibly nearsighted

I do NOT need the transgender Timex. I have lots and lots of watches. It is OUT OF MY BUDGET. timex.ca/products/mar...

currently at the exact stage of being nonbinary where my mom's home weight set maxes out too low and my dad's home weight set starts out too high

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

“Spring in Canada is so beautiful” says woman about to experience months of grimy dirt snow on the side of roads

"Wrecking Ball in the style of Linkin Park" is inspired ngl

ever since moving to Calgary all my ads are about "midge tolerant wheat stewardship"

People think that teens don't care what their family thinks as much as their peers, but that's not true at all. Teens understand that family is forever and important, which is why it's so emotionally fraught to separate and individuate. Peer relations are where low stakes experimentation happens.

Hey friends. I'm out of eggs. Still don't have news from social security. Having severe abdominal pain and in so much debt. PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen

I have multiple disabled friends who can't afford to eat every day.

Khrushchev banging his shoe on the podium at the UN because Stalin bought him the wrong size.

if Iran were to bomb a children's school located on an American military base something tells me Fox News wouldn't be discussing it like "well of course this is a tragedy but nevertheless military bases are lawful wartime targets so you can see how this happened"

that's literally the LAST bad thing they wanna do. that's it. so just let them have this last thing, and then they'll be super happy to work with us on everything else, promise
