Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.

This is appalling. Fortunately for Californians, we have our own tool - myturn.ca.gov/vaccinelocat... - so check to see if your state has one, too. Also: Fuck the head of our Health and Human Services Department, and anyone who voted this chode in.

Lots of replies and quotes warning parents to ban their kids from using Roblox. And fair enough. But don’t forget that pushing the problem onto individual parents was what the CEO advocated for. The real solution is government regulation. So call your representatives too.

Don’t shop at Home Depot, Target, or Amazon over the next week. During the busiest shopping period of the year, let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

TIL that thousands of German teens facing conscription into the Hitler Youth/League of German Girls, said fuck it, I'll be a pirate instead, and the Edelweiss Pirates were born. Their slogan was "Eternal War on the Hitler Youth". Fuck yeah. When the world tries to make you a fascist, be a pirate.

Without downloading new pics what is it like dating you?

"Men are in trouble, is the solution making them a problem for women and children too"

There can be only one?

Man, nothing screams "narcissistic insecurity complex with erectile dysfunction" like re-writing your fascist self-titled megahitler AI to give you verbal fluff jobs whenever someone mentions your name, and I am glad the Internet is treating this with the seriousness it deserves.

Hope is the bat that bashes the monsters under the bed.

Last night I was so honored to receive an award for Imagination in Service to Society from the Arthur C Clarke Foundation. They created a special mocktail for me with pink cotton candy on top! I was lucky to be introduced by the wonderful @jacjemc.bsky.social . More pics soon!

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after. Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

So this is happening outside of the Heritage Foundation right now "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE! Fuck Project 2025! Fuck Alligator Alcatraz!"

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

And if that's not enough to get you to watch it, check out the movie's awesome theme song helmed by Bear McCreary and Slash: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfO9...

I fucking love this movie. It's pure cheesy fun that embraces its B movie roots, with over-the-top practical effects, a ridiculous plot, and aesthetics that fall squarely between goofy 80s fantasy movies and even goofier rock concept albums. 10 out of 10.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

Cool shit right here.

I'm pretty sure Rodan's on his way.

"Alphabet shares have doubled in value in seven months to $3.5tn as markets have grown more confident in the search giant's ability to fend off the threat from ChatGPT owner OpenAI." The system is fucked when a company can double it's worth by investing in something with no possible profit.

Watching Queens of the Dead and having a great time. The queens are definitely slaying it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_gU...

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo

NYT describes rampart corruption and abuse of power as everyday business, no big deal.

Why, it's almost like having rich people paying their fare share is good for everyone!

Rewatching Stranger Things season 4 and I will never stop being angry with the people who argued that Eddie dying was "kill your gays" and Robin should have died instead, when of the two, Robin was the actually, canonically gay character, while Eddie was flirting with the cheerleader.

YOU HAVE TURNED MY FATHER'S HOUSE INTO A DEN OF THIEVES

When you stop paying the subscription fee they don't cancel it but they put your dead loved one in hell and you get unskippable video of them burning and begging for you to save them every single hour of the day.

You see, it's only legal if the Republicans do it, not the voters.

If it’s playing in your area do not miss the chance to see this in a theater, it is a beautiful personal brilliant phantasmagoria. You heard me. I used the PH word.

A tragic failure in an otherwise good series of movies. Found footage is clearly this director's forte, and I hope he returns to it.

The only rational reaction to current events.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

No god. No king. I said love is the thing.

Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer. He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election. Go. Check. Your. Ballot. komonews.com/news/local/s...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

"We seek truth and help people better understand the world."

This isn’t just about the eight Senate Democrats who surrendered. 👇

A large number of these folks are retiring, but Fetterman... vote that fucker out. www.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p...

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip. If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like. We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Honestly it’s bullshit Schumer hasn’t messaged the shutdown as leverage against not just insurance premiums, but the ICE raids, on moral principle not just because they’re unpopular. For once in Trump’s 5 year stranglehold on our psyches they are letting him & his party own their mess.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.
