in america the hospital will charge you $130,000 to keep you alive but you’ll get to watch as much TV as you want while they do it in countries with socialized medicine, the hospital stay is free but they make you pay $2 to watch television it’s hard to say which is better and which is worse

Five yr old, right before bed: Soooooooo….since I had three popsicles today, can I just have one more?? 🤩🤩

Buy an old house they said. Curses aren’t real they said.

A GoFundMe but it’s just so I can quit my job and become a full time Italian nonna

This day better end with a little treat* *a glass of wine my hexing glass

Jay Bhattacharya, who is best known for ranting about COVID conspiracies and “coverups” for the past 5 years, is now literally suppressing the data on COVID vaccines…because he is an antivaccine hack not a scientist

2 days ago my maga neighbour was like "if the covid vax is so good how come you get it every year" so I made a super sad face and dropped my voice and confessed that I was addicted to vaccines and wife is not happy with me because I have been expressly told to stop winding him up but HOW TO RESIST

And also to celebrate Earth Day, here's this gorgeous video of McKenzie River in Oregon. I need to visit there. That state is so beautiful.

“This was not a disease that was killing healthy people. It was killing sick people”. RFK Jr. lying about the COVID19 pandemic.

Sorry I can’t. Busy at the gardening store.

The stupid. It hurts. 🫤

The internet is really good at not being able to recognize that multiple things can be true at the same time and complicated issues are almost always multifactorial and solutions may be imperfect but the status quo is unsustainable. Help.

It’s a beautiful day 🥹

This was the inside of the “wrapping paper” for my birthday gift from my 5 yr old and it’s basically the soundtrack of my life:

I need a vacation. Outside of the US.

I'm very glad this doesn't happen here,in European countries. We have men here too, btw. Just a distinct lack of guns. Wonder if guns are the problem, rather than just "men"?

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.

Just six sports games/practices instead of nine today so I guess happy birthday to me?

“A whole civilization will die tonight” “Grab them by the pussy” “When the looting starts the shooting starts” “I would bring back waterboarding. And I’d bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.”

Good morning from this hamster burrito

There's this black tailless squirrel that lives in a tree in our backyard and he still keeps on doing squirrel things like collecting leaves and grass for his nest. He even has a squirrel girlfriend. Don't mind me just over here crying about this squirrel overcoming his disabilities.

A spider just crawled across my vacuum and I guess not only am I not vacuuming today but the vacuum is now cursed and must be thrown into a fire

Frustrated by “modern dating”? Or. Frustrated that women have hopes and dreams and boundaries and thoughts and weren’t put on this earth to wait on them?

Actual footage of my week

Everything I have learned about clavicular has been against my will

Almost peony time (the best time) 🥰

“Yet these findings need not be cause for pessimism. Rather, they point toward a clear design imperative…. This requires rethinking how AI systems are built to collaborate with humans, **and just as the best human collaborators know when not to help, SO TOO SHOULD AI.**”🧪 arxiv.org/pdf/2604.04721

Good morning. It is tax day. All payments may only be made to NASA.

Are Ohio’s “Move to ColumbUS” ads gonna finally pay off now, or?

It's wild that American Republicans see millions of people attending No Kings rallies and assume, with no evidence, that they're all being paid...and then some grandma who has literally lobbied for DoorDash delivers to the White House with the *cameras rolling* & they think it's an adorable moment.

Does anyone know where I can get a Jesus robe and accessory draping to go work in the clinic tomorrow?

I’m at the grocery store and Enjoy the Silence came on and istg someone turned up the volume 🥰

Someone send me a proper thunderstorm. Please? 🥺👉👈

An armed Paddington Bear stages a shootout in post-apocalyptic ‘80s New York, but afterwards he offers the survivors marmalade.

Do you think the Bezos’ watched this on Fox News while helicoptering to brunch as part of their joymaxxing practice?

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

Gonna quit my job to sell supplements on Instagram.

A spring walk to the library with the five yr old and the best surprise ever when we got to the library 🥰

If there was DSM-5 for “pathologically out of touch”, this would be it

Sorry I can’t. Busy being a menace in the Short North today.

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

I honestly don’t know how people can sit and watch their kids play sports. Standing is the only way.

The authors “suggest asking patients if they found any chatbot interactions unhelpful or problematic, &also offering to share risks of using chatbots for emotional support. For ex, the risks to data privacy, bc many AI companies use the convos—even sensitive ones— to further train their models.”🧪🛟

Not me going through the prior visit note taking out all your double spaces between sentences

Nobody: Nobody: Melania: I must do a press conference to say I never knew Epstein! Everybody: 🧐🧐🧐🧐

Every “fertility rate” discussion has to happen in tandem with the actual truth about child marriages in this country (too many states still make it legal, and moreover, too many states don’t recognize marital rape as a crime in those marriages)
