just a meme i wanted to draw in my style. available as a print and sticker on my kofi hehe #art

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

Just by the way, much of the basic research on the cognitive psychology of attention can trace its history to early support from ONR. The problem of vigilance and detection while staring at a radar screen led to support of foundational research on visual attention now applied far and wide.

My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics. I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

Hi fellow white folks! If you haven't picked a specific place/organization for your Juneteenth reparations, or if you've got a little left to allocate, may I please STRONGLY recommend Black Mamas Matter Alliance? Their work is more crucial than ever now.

At that stage of tattoo healing where I desperately want to just remove my leg with a hacksaw because a leg that isn't there won't itch anymore

This is how bad my mental health has gotten: getting myself a streaming service I've been wanting just so that I can start watching shows I actually enjoy instead of just background noise for my doomscrolling, is my biggest act of self care this week.

College Kid: how much wood would a woodchuck chuck Jordan Peterson: define woodchuck CK: small mammal Jordan Peterson: so right there you’re denying the existence of fish CK: no im asking how much wood- JP: Listen to me! You’re speaking in abstractions, if there is no tree how is there wood?!

"These are often children; these are people in poverty; these are people with very few resources; these are people who use drugs,” Horvath told me. “If we’re willing to throw the most vulnerable people under the bus as a movement, then what the hell is our movement doing?”"

This one should probably have stayed in the drafts or the therapy zoom, but anyway I noticed that my brain is wayyyy better at harnessing my single molecule of executive function in service of making me do stuff I hate than in the service of making me do stuff I will like and have fun doing.

a Chris Murphy-retweeting pope. The ResistLibs really do have the Mandate of Heaven

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Pope Leo XIV (personal reasons) questionable for Game 3.

great thread. Modern times have brought even greater clarity to the rights of all people

Eugenics and racism almost always intersect. It’s exactly what Imani Barbarin was talking about the other day. White supremacists get to define “normal”… which means anyone who isn’t like them will be “abnormal”. Disability justice is needed now.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN

Body: Tummy hort Me: Oh no why Body: Easy, no food in it Me: Okay, I will eat food Body: Tummy hort Me: Why now? Body: Food in it

Since it began in 1994, the Safe to Sleep campaign has contributed to a 50% decrease in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Having recently had a baby (2024), this one hits close to home and I can't think of a single reason to justify cutting this program. WE CAN GET THIS REVERSED.

Methinks chess is too simple for a man of my... shall we say, not inconsiderable intellect! It's over 100 years old [laughs] it doesn't even include [tries really hard to think of something from a video game that will make people like me] Companion Cube

Thanks to the person who shared this article from RED ALTERT about Murderbot TV on tumblr!! The more I hear about this series, the more excited I am. At this point I'm going to explode soon. @marthawells.com

"It is our demonstration that we can engage in dialogue across difference while remaining true to ourselves. We pledge to those persecuted in our name that we refuse to let anyone else speak for us or commit state-sanctioned violence under the pretext of protecting Jews."

The House GOP’s new higher ed bill slashes Pell Grants and subsidized loans, making college less affordable for millions- especially low-income students. This isn’t reform; it’s a setback for opportunity in America. #HigherEd www.highereddive.com/news/house-e...

Two people I love dearly, who are married to one another, simultaneously sent me the same Instagram post of Noah Wylie in The Pitt and his resemblance to various stock photos of rodents and man, if that isn't perfect friendship idek what is

The good news is that Sinners is a really great movie, I laughed I cried I really loved it. The bad news is that while I was out watching it one of the elderly mice passed away so my poor kids were grieving without me for a couple of hours. Pour one out for Chuu-Chuu, sweet and curious til the end.

Goddamn fucking right

Movies you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the rings)

Every day, there is that elevator drop in my stomach. I think we have hit our lowest, and then, something else happens. Today, they are arresting judges.

Popes are chosen by God, making them the ultimate Dei hire

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

My obituary for Pope Francis @pontifexes.bsky.social

Wow Punked JD Vance and then just dropped the ultimate mic Hall of fame hater moment RIP to a real one

On the worst people in the world having the best time of their lives, and the small, sacred mercy that Liz Truss just doesn't know how to do so. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Both jokes are good, lets do both.

Yeah so that was norovirus she had. Thursday I got the sickest I've ever been in my life and I say that as a person with Crohn's/UC, multiple diverticulitis hospitalizations, etc. This may not have been the closest to death I've ever been but it was the closest I ever felt. 4 days later I feel fine.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

Happy End of Passover and also Happy Easter I guess, we ate a bunch of pasta and are watching Return of the King

When people talk about going to Missoula within earshot, I can be like, "Hey, you should check out this cool little place I know about, the Holiday Inn Express that I spent 16 hours in 24 years ago. It has a rad view of possibly as many as two (2) hills."
