Remember the unvaccinated boy who contracted tetanus in 2017, hospitalized for months at a cost of almost $1M? The boy who was a patient of (former) antivax doctor Paul Thomas? He's not the only recent case. 4 kids, unvax'd, none received immunoglobulin when symptoms developed. Those poor kids.

Since many of you seemed to have enjoyed this photo here is an in situ. The stump they were on made it difficult to get an underneath photo so I had to hold my phone at a weird angle and then rotate the photo in order to get the picture. That’s why this is so horizontal. #fungifriends

My hot take on people being late to flights out of laziness is that it's fine actually, because the more people who are late to the flight the less chance I'm the one who gets bumped if it's oversold. Take all the time you need 👍

Literally every gen z republican loser could disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost. There'd be no negative disruptions. Nothing would change except a few youtube channels and twitch streams would stop posting slop. They are valueless and contribute nothing.

I think I've reached a level of burnout where I can't even imagine trying to look for another job. Like why would anyone hire me when my brain is mush? Maybe I can live in the forest.

Costco getting really aggressive about those executive memberships now. They full on stop the big busy line to have a person come from the office repeatedly harass you at the checkout an badger you after you’ve said no three times lol.

This week is probably going to be sucky, but at least I got the garden boxes ready.

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit. *Rockapella bops on stage*

I bet a lot of people thought this ban was overreaching, but because the loonie-influencer types immediately latched onto it, you couldn't do anything about it without feeding their unmanaged personality disorders

It is so nice out go see some fungi #FungiFriends

Okay I caught up to The Pitt. What I'm wondering: would youths, in fact, sing You Oughta Know at karaoke? That song came out before they were born. Do they even know who Dave Coulier is?

Probably the funniest experience I’ve had at work recently is that I don’t months on a first iteration of a new feature, which the bosses and other assorted idea guys insisted I deploy to stage so they could try it, and it has sat totally untested for a month.

The Gorilla Channel thing was real but it was Snakes Channel.

Do you want to play that same game again, or do you just want to spend 30 minutes doing the character creator?

This is a great idea

When you started your day at 7 am and get invited to a 5:00 pm meeting.

Excuse me while I crumble into dust.

The other day I saw these birds in my neighbourhood and took these terrible photos with my phone. I think they were tufted titmouses (titmice?) which are unusual around here.

Avoid knowing what stupid things are happening in the world by going outside and doing yard work for a few hours.

Twitter used to be a pretty okay website and they just absolutely ruined it.

How may big bags of soil will fit in my car? Gonna find out this afternoon.

Sometimes I feel bad that I didn't visit more of the US before the dumbest third of its population let Trump start tearing the copper out of the walls.

A couple nice fungi

Checking on on the news before I peel potatoes. Everything normal today as always?

The Easter lamb cake thing is breaking my brain.

To be honest, I think this website will run out of money long before it runs out of users, because I don't understand how it gets money.

Very minor, but it bothers me a little when there's no hint bathrooms in the rpg world.

what is her job?

ARTEMIS FROM SAILOR MOON WAS AT THE ARTEMIS 2 LAUNCH AND IM VERY EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...

I started watching the Pitt and it’s quite good but I don’t understand why the evil corporate lady cares about patient satisfaction numbers for an ER. They clearly have no issue attracting customers because it’s an ER and yelp scores have no effect on their profits?

trump voters owe the rest of us more than they would be able to repay in a lifetime for subjecting us to this nonsense.

🤔

This would be so much better than the slash 'n burn approach we're getting now.

He's building a bigger, dumber Winchester Mystery House.

Is there a black market for KitKat bars?

The Trump admin doing the "I spil my jice" meme to the whole rest of the world has been something to see.

A lot of transphobic discourse boils down to “should it be illegal for women to be conventionally unattractive“ tbh.

I can’t believe it’s still winter.

Me: I want a tetanus booster before I travel later this year can I do it at the pharmacy? Pharmacy website: sure can! Step through five pages of upsells and scheduling to the page where we admit we’re wasting your time because won’t do it without a dr prescription!

I need to hire an assistant to make decisions for me when I'm too tired to think straight, which, lately, is most days after 4pm.

Using up a vacation day to go to the appt that wasn’t even properly scheduled. It’s a very short appt but for some god awful reason my dentist insisted on referring me to a place that’s an hour drive each way and finding parking is a pain.

Also, just like… Why the fuck do we need this? We have a series of movies. We have video games. We have a theme park. We have radio plays. We have audiobooks. We have a fucking West End play. It’s diminishing returns at this point. And it was never fucking Tolstoy.

step 1: tell the customer care dept to interrupt my work all day with little questions and things that customers don't like step 2: chew me out for spending time on their little things instead of pushing back step 3: I'm tired

In gr 6 my family moved and my new class had a “fast track” group of kids the weird teacher thought were so much better than the rest of us that they could work ahead together with the text books. He disbanded it when he realized they were behind because 11 year olds can’t teach themselves math.

huh. Thought I was supposed to have an appointment this week, but they never sent me the reminder/confirmation email. Weird.

Of course. You gotta use a real keyboard for important things.
