I think one of the funniest (actually really sad, but) social media phenomena is all the accounts who are vocally Christian, claim to worship Jesus -- but suddenly get weirdly defensive when you criticize their favorite human idol. They can't help it. Very telling!

In the most extreme of cases if you're a government worker unable to work, you may either have to tap savings or find a side hustle so you don't lose housing or have to live on ramen. On the other hand, if you're one of the millions who will lose health insurance, you stand to lose your life.

People outside the US: Why are Americans obsessed with their flag?? Most Americans: Uh, we think it's weird, too. Americans who have the flag plastered all over everything they own: ?

Why yes, I *did* cast on a knit hat even though I have 3 unfinished crochet projects. 😅

masks in healthcare settings makes so much sense, no matter rates of transmission for ANYTHING. you should not be able to catch something at a place you go for your health.

I don't understand how this is a recall-worthy problem! It's free dessert! 🍫

Everyone watches as Steve expertly demonstrates how not to do it.

Allie Beth Stuckey says that moms shouldn't let their daughters listen to Taylor Swift. I say that moms shouldn't let their daughters listen to Allie Beth Stuckey. 🤢 (I'm not a swiftie but I'm all for people making their own choices and I'm extremely anti-Stuckey.)

Very alarming considering the person who purchased this has/is using trump language when speaking about elections, mainly wanting to move to 100% paper ballots.

The sky is a beautiful, ominous pink color on this stormy Friday morning. I fear my daughter will be awakened early from her sleep.

unfortunately, you do not believe in science if you think getting vaccinated is enough to stop the spread of disease and that there’s no way you could ever develop long covid so catching covid (while vaxxed) must be harmless. that is not what the science has been saying at all.

I think Mike Johnson is miscalculating. Badly. People don’t understand a lot about the way Washington works. But they all understand “the House Republicans are refusing to come to work!” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Not everyone can boycott Amazon Many disabled & elderly people are housebound and rely on it Some medical supplies are more affordable there than anywhere else. Instead of judging, help create networks of care. Give rides, drop off food and meds, donate to mutual aid Take care of each other

A little Steve annoying a little Brad.

Always glad to see masks back in healthcare… but I wish we would stop being reactionary and be proactive instead. We know masks work. That’s why they bring them back in response to outbreaks. Keep masks in healthcare year round and you will save lives!

Steve is laughing, but HR won’t be.
