Just got an ad for "the perfect hoodie for boatin', huntin' and fishin'" said exactly that way. My ad profile must be wild.

Dictating to media companies what can and cannot be said or aired and threatening state punishment for disobedience is straightforward fascism. Ditto for conditioning government loans on the state getting ownership of all or part of a company. 8/

I don't "have autism". I'm Autistic. This is something I consider important. :neurodiversity:

Woman near me in the park is ranting to her friend on the phone about RFK Jrs “Tylenol causes autism” press conference, saying “All the rest of it I was like oh whatever but what if people are going to start blaming me now. Yeah I took Tylenol during my pregnancy…”

LOL Walked outside, where my son is playing with his ham radio... My son: "there's no one on the band!" Me: "I bet you'll get someone if you call CQ. Sounds like it's wide open on 10m. Here!" (I call CQ, get JA1UTQ in Japan immediately, near Tokyo) #hamradio

Among #publichealth experts, #vfc, as it’s commonly known, is widely seen as an unmitigated success. After the program was created in 1994, “#disease went down, & life was a lot simpler for the #families,” Anne Schuchat, a former top #cdc official, said. Roughly half of American children are […]

It needs to be understood that every incremental step that RFK Jr. and ACIP take to create barriers against vaccination means that fewer and fewer people have access to lifesaving vaccines…until no one can access them at all. This is their plan and their desire. Don’t kid yourself.

My daughter was able to text me about a false fire alarm at her school a full 3 minutes before the CAD dispatch hit my feed and 16 minutes before the school sent out a post-event email to parents. It's very reassuring.

Dr. #susanmonarez fmr #cdc chief described the tense meeting with #rfkjr that led to her firing. Kennedy hurled insults about employees of the CDC, called the CDC, which he oversees, “the most corrupt federal agency in the world” & told her that “CDC employees were killing children.” […]

Oof. @raskin.house.gov starts by reminding that J Edgar was closeted (there are rumors abt Kash) then hails the fact that a first generation Indian American and proud Hindu has benefitted from affirmative action.

Six parks down, six to go. Added Dan Roth park in the middle of Harleysville to my list of remote work park locations. One star, would not recommend for anything that requires even a modicum of concentration or focus. https://vees.net/local/pa/montco/lowersalford/parks/#dan-roth-park […]

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Jesus Christ preached radical inclusion and love over law. If there was such a thing as a "transgender ideology," it would look a lot like that. And know what folks had an "antifascist ideology?" Dwight Eisenhower, Franklin Roosevelt, Audie Murphy, and if you want to go deep into the American […]

A nearby fire incident coded as GAS-ODOR/LEAK just turned into BUILDING FIRE on the WebCAD and I wonder if it was mis-coded originally or one led to the other.
