i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

The Idaho Medical Freedom Act, which makes it illegal to require almost anyone to take a vaccine, test or other “medical intervention,” comes amid a national measles outbreak larger than the U.S. has seen in decades. By @audreydutton.bsky.social

been a while since I absolutely had my ass kicked by a poem...

From a larger view, what changes could we make to society so fewer people felt like suicide was their best option.

One of the most interesting parts about this is the AG is arguing this was a private event which would restrict free speech. All of my reporting indicates that it was not. It was — by all accounts — a public event. Here’s that story: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

New version of Girl Yelling In Guy's Ear at Concert Dropped:

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

SCOOP: Idaho’s health department quietly declined the entirety of its annual $1.5 million federal Title X funding in April, leaving patients statewide without any access to the family planning program. One Idaho health district no longer offers contraception at all. From me:

Cuomo 2025!

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

A guy just drove up in a big ol truck wearing carrharts and baseball cap. Within a couple minutes we were talking about Alan Watts and Jung, and goddamn I love Idaho.

So this guy was having a heart attack or stroke or something and the BPD surrounded him for an hour without rendering aid and then shot him with pepper balls so they could safely approach? That's a major fuck up.

Ahem. Bills de Blasio.

By day and night he wrongs me, every hour He flashes into one gross crime or other That sets us all at odds. I’ll not endure it. His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us On every trifle.

Just heard from a client whose husband picked up her ring yesterday. Apparently he then put it in the console of his truck and then later decided to throw away the trash in his console. Ouch.

I’m a journalist. I’m also an Idahoan. A couple weeks ago, I stood outside my child’s school, chatting with the school nurse. As we talked, my phone buzzed. It was a call from the person behind Idaho's new law — one that limits how a school nurse can respond if measles arrives.

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

In retrospect, we should have known something was up when both Prince and David Bowie returned to their home planets in early 2016.

Those who do learn from history are doomed to have people tell them they’re overreacting

That's a lot of sightings for a state with no legal weed.

I dunno how trumpenomics is working out for everybody else, but I just raised the shit out of my prices for the second time this year. Is that good for business? I am just a simple artist.

Looks like MLB might have themselves a problem.

ok who did this? ☹️

We went into full tilt pot sticker production this morning. Might be enough to last us all day.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

if anybody asks, I was with you last night.

It is a good day.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Charli XCX Escalates Feud By Luring Travis Kelce Away With Beef Stick

Welp. I am sending off my gold. This tub is full of vacuum bags, bench sweeps, buffer filters and karat gold. Approximately 16lbs. The refinery I use is so busy they put at 20lb minimum on silver, so I'm keeping that. For once I am hoping for a run on the market.

"For the next five minutes, the woman listened as four men — a prosecutor, defense attorney, judge and police detective — debated what, exactly, Rogers meant by vagina." Hard to say what's the most shocking part of this @investigatewest.bsky.social series. But this courtroom dialogue is up there.

Next time somebody asks me what Bluesky is like, I'll send them this

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Everyone Opposed to Me is the Antichrist - by The Antichrist.

Fun fact: 4lbs of silver is worth less than 1 ounce of gold.

Metals prices are freaking me out, so I just put together most of the silver that's laying around here. 4lbs. Not bad.

Umm

The other day a student asked me about the prevalence of insider trading in prediction markets. I now have an answer.

"The Court would like to enter into the record that this bass line slaps. Furthermore we have found that indeed, Drake is not like us."

Teammates Unnerved As Translator Begins Referring To Ohtani As ‘The Host’

What happened here? Seems unlikely that the police would fire off a round in such a populated area on purpose. "...a Meridian police officer fired one round from an AR-15 rifle. The round missed Gaddis, and he was arrested without further incident."
