Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

Too few people understand Dolly Parton is a rebel. She plays along with roles society demands of women, is kind, etc. But only a rebel demanding equality would perform in - or write songs for - "9-5" and "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." She didn't need to say it. She did it. And she sang it.

We hosted an exchange student in 2023. It changed our life. She is a daughter to us forever. She just told us she is coming to visit in October and I broke down in tears. My girl is coming home! If you can host an exchanging student at some point in your life, do it!!

When my husband or I pay for something with friends on our joint credit card, then the friends Venmo me for it, that is then MY money to spend on stupid stuff. I don’t make the rules, thankfully my husband agrees to the rules.

Do the people that make tv shows watch them on actual tvs in a house? We were watching a show tonight and it was SO dark, you couldn’t tell what was happening. We even turned the brightness all the way up, it was still wildly dark.

Look at all of that amazing trickle down happening! Just like they promised us. Oh…wait.

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

BREAKING: AOC just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act, which bans the construction of data centers until Congress addresses all impacts of AI on our society and planet. 💪 I support this 💯

I just learned these exist. Excuse me while I go buy a ticket to some remote island off of Australia.

Bets on if they will respect this? “The Leonard Cohen Estate has learned that the song ‘Hallelujah’ is to be performed at a Donald Trump rally on June 24,” this use is not authorized, and the Estate does not support or approve of this or any similar usage.”

Good Job CBS: Headline: "More favor than oppose data centers in their area, but few admit knowing a lot about them, CBS News poll finds" Text in article: "Overall, by more than two to one, more Americans oppose than favor having a new data center built in their area. Many aren't sure." WTF

The only person they could get to play at this farce is Kash's girlfriend. Pathetic is not a strong enough word.

It used to be your were a failure if your company laid people off. Now CEOs are "good at business" as long as they can cut costs. Innovation and long term stability no longer matter. They have broken the unspoken contract between workers and employers and the only way to fix it is to unionize.

He is seeing all the recent elections and the polls and is panicking. He knows that the only way he survives the midterms is to prevent people from voting.

I was in a salty mood today. I’m not sure why. My husband made me a margarita and magically I’m feeling much happier.

In case you forgot what democracy looks like. It is too easy to normalize fascism. Whose streets? Our streets.

I am counting on Seattle to be the gayest city ever during this match. I want to see rainbows for miles.

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...

If you thought this white house would use an "offeder hall of shame" to bring attention to actually bad people, no you didn't. This is on a government website. Using our tax dollars. Calling journalists that don't toe the line "offenders"

Someone thinking that writers using a broad vocabulary is "ableist" has been making me crazy for the last couple of days. I just can't grasp the mindset that allows for that type of thinking.

I'm sure all the people that support this are "Christians"

This is all terrifying, but the worst part is this: For 3 years, McPherson has run a program it calls Project ManCard, a four-day camp for boys between 14 and 17. At the closing ceremony, the boys recited a creed that ends, “I’ll kill the dragon. I’ll win the girl." But, we are indoctrinating kids

This is what MAHA wants to reverse. Ignoring science is going to kill so many people.

FACT CHECK: TRUE

I went to visit my mom this weekend. She has a new dog she got at a rescue. It's a chihuahua mixed with something, no idea what. It was the strangest thing. I have always known little dogs to be yippy...but this dog is silent. My mom said she has heard her bark twice in a year. So strange.

Getting off a plane. Guy from like 20 rows back SPRINTS down the aisle as soon as the plane stops. Gets mad when guy in row 9 stops him. He is at baggage claim. Not missing a connecting flight. Just an entitled jerk.

All the countries playing in the World Cup have universal healthcare. Except the United States 🇺🇸

"Trump said, 'You know why I [attack the press]? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.' Trump said that," Stahl told the audience, adding, "So, put that in your head for a minute." www.cbsnews.com/news/lesley-...

Wild that trusting science literally makes you live longer. Who could have guessed?

Washington needs to figure this out. However, saying that we pay more than Mississippi so funding isn’t the problem is not really honest. The cost of living difference is 40%.

The way I cackled reading this.

We have 16 active fires already, and our fires to date are up almost 1,000% over last year. Get out your masks, Washington. It's going to be smoky summer.

There is an author I have liked for a long time. Mostly because she writes really witty banter between characters. However, her last few books have been... over the top. The quirkiness and banter have just too much. It's like she is trying to top herself constantly now. It makes me sad.

A restaurant we go to recently added a 22% service fee to all checks. With an asterisk that says that it is retained by the restaurant, it does NOT go to the servers and tips are still "appreciated". WHAT? Just raise your price!

My 21 year old: We are taking a cruise out of Canada. We planned and paid for the whole thing on our own! Also my 21 year old, while aboard said cruise: Hey, so... our ride home kinda fell through. Do you think you can pick us up? In Canada. Four hours away... At 9:00am? She's lucky I love her.

I am really worried that the Seattle mayor is going to prevent people from voting for any Democratic Socialist in the future. She is not popular and many people are really disapointed in her so far.

Trump’s DOJ has charged 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota. The charges are based on his national security memo that categorized “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Americanism,” and “extremism on migration” as domestic terrorism. This is what tyranny looks like.

The amount of AI generated content we are being fed should frighten us all. We desperately need to regulate AI content.

When my obituary is published, if one of the first things listed about me is my career, I will have failed at life. I want to be known for the person I was to my friends and family, not how I made my money.

Husband needs a neurology appointment. 2 hospitals refused - he's not established in their network. 1 made an appointment, then cancelled saying they don't treat his type of issue. His only option is to establish with a dr in network then get a neuro appointment. Est wait time? 20+months.

More of this, please. Corporations are no being honest with shareholders and they should be held accountable.

@wsdot.wa.gov social media is on point once again. Busy Busy Busy Busy eh? I'm giggling out loud.

World cup tripled my commute time this morning. Not a fan.

I’m not really looking forward to seeing how the World Cup is going to mess up my commute tomorrow morning.

My daughter’s college just announced that they are shortening today’s graduation ceremony because of the dangerous heat. It’s going to be a high of 80 today. I mean, it’s hot-ish. But dangerously hot?

People that don’t get joy from giving are psychopaths. You can’t convince me otherwise.

It’s supposed to get up to 79 degrees today. I just got a heat advisory on my phone. Gotta love Seattle!

We had people over for dinner last night that we have known for a long time, but haven’t really socialized with. You could tell for the first 20 minutes we were all feeling out where the others stood politically. When we realized we were aligned, the relief was palpable.

There is so much wrong with this, I don’t even know where to start. No one human being should EVER have this much wealth.

The plan: If you are too poor to pay your medical bills, you can take out a loan from your insurance company. What could go wrong???
