It's crazy how the Trump admin is FILLED with people who are like, 36, 37 years old going on 55. Is it the plastic surgery? Is moisturizer woke?

Midafternoon nap time. Dogtor's orders.

In case you're wondering what democrats are going to give up next, it will be reproductive care. The GOP is going to demand federal abortion restrictions in exchange for ACA subsidies.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Cillizza figured it out? Yes this one hurts. This is a real low point.

Schumer is going to guide a cave in but zero senate dems are going to move for a leadership change. They're going to post through it and do nothing.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Democrats caving after 40 days with nothing to show for it would be the most democrat thing to have ever happened.

The best dogtor

Putting the post surgery jaw bra on just for the compression to push fluid through the incisions into my mouth. 🤮

Round 2 FFS done😌

Don't ever talk to the NYT about trans issues.

Staying in Somerville tonight and one of the channels has "Secrets to staying active after 60 with Mike Huckabee." WAT.

2026 is going to be a good year to run for office, no matter how long the odds. runforwhat.net

22% voter turnout is sad given the amount of discontent I hear across a bunch of channels for city politics.

I dont think I could ever be so audacious as to call a family member, complain about how I've been unable to teach a 6 year old how a name change works for over 2 years, and then act offended when I get told off for saying I won't use the name around them. But then again, I'm not my sister in law.

Oh I think he realized he's trying to run in Massachusetts and not new Hampshire. Still a no, though.

"if you can hear me under the bus I threw you under, it's your turn to say sorry."

My favorite thing about Boston is that, whenever I'm feeling down, the universe treats me to a video of someone eating it on the cop slide.

Got my renewal notice from Harvard Pilgrim. My new plan, if I keep it, will be $779.60/mo, up from 711.00 this year, up from 640.00 in 2024. Those plan changes...woof. OOP max goes down $350, everything else gets put behind deductible, $200 pharmacy deductible added. Most costs way up.

Doing a free haunted house tonight but it's just me sitting on my porch telling my life story.

There's nothing you can buy while on food stamps that won't make someone be cruel and make comments about how it's unfair that you're buying what you're buying. If you walk out with a bag of meats and fresh veggies, people will complain how it's unfair that you get healthy food and they don't.

The worst thing about being an adult is the increasing chance that your best friends live really far away because of stupid jobs.

For no particular reason, thinking about the interview Meghna Chakrabarti gave to Hillary Cass on @npr.org where she basically let Cass lie for an hour straight about pediatric gender affirming care with no pushback.

Quick - someone ask the "Common Sense" Democrats what the middle ground is!

Pretty galling to see a bunch of these plan previews popping up for health insurance and their way of masking price increases is to basically lock anything not categorized as MEC behind the deductible. Labs, Urgent Care, etc - all deductible first with a bunch of companies now.

Good morning it’s almost time.

Did she get combat pay for this because JFC. www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Harvard Pilgrim is really going to remove base coverage for urgent care for all their plans next year except platinum medal tiers. You now have to pay your multi thousand dollar deductible before you can get your $50 copay that you had this year. Jfc dude.

I dont have a horse in the Maine senate race, but if you have to spend time defending a Nazi Tattoo, and then your defense is basically, "boy people are being so mean to me😢," you're going to get eaten alive by the multi-term incumbent from the GOP. If you even manage to make it out of the primary.

Does this count as playing?

I'm so over mandatory 2FA on everything.

My wife's plan is 451/mo, going to ~480/mo for 2026. My plan is 711/mo, going to ~800/mo for 2026. I'm really fortunate I can afford to pay this w/o help, but this is what it will look like for folks who are losing subsidies. We're two people. If we had kids, premiums would be more than 17k/yr.

They kicked Lia Smith off the Middlebury College Swimming and Diving team for being trans and now, as the 2026 season kicks off, she's dead. Rest in power, Lia. The world is so cruel sometimes.

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses. There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

A client just sent me a limewire link for a PDF document. Wtf.

2026 Silver tier premiums on the MA Health Connector. I'm tired of this grandpa.

He's just so stinking cute.

Realized I had a picture of both of them when they got their first skunking and it makes a silly "one of these is not like the other" picture.

The very second I get on my walking pad he appears with a toy and a demand.

Honestly believe he could knock the whole thing down and get zero consequences.

The gender identity panic fomented from the right wing is going to get stupider than this. Count on it.

No money for health care. No money for snap. No money for soldiers and fed employees working without pay. No money for you, but plenty of money for this repugnant cunt of a man.

Codecademy has been sending me "50% off Pro expiring soon" emails for the better part of like, 2 years. Like weekly emails with "expires tomorrow." Software pricing is such a farce 😂

It's the most wonderful time of year: awaiting our health plan renewal notices with the corresponding premium increases. Just my health plan (Harvard Pilgrim) is expected to be about $800/mo. My wife's plan will be about another $480. We have silver medal plans on the state exchange.

I appreciate out side the box ideas for things like public safety on roadways as much as anyone, but the "always on" lightbars for the WPD seem like they're going to cause a bunch of accidents/congestion issues as people randomly pull over for police that aren't responding to an emergency.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So proud of my boss and our amazing team winning the #clio Resiman award for excellence in client services! ❤️❤️❤️

SCOTUS gonna rule that unless a legislature drops a hard R in their rationale for diluting the voting power of black folk, it's not actually racism.

Fenway Health is canceling its gender affirming care program for minors. People uprooted their lives and moved states to come to places like this, and it feels like no one cares even half as much about thing like this as they did literally anything else last year. fenwayhealth.org/press/
