Four hours out from the shots and already starting to feel achy all over and general fatigue. Ugggh why this.

Well, I'm finally home and fed, Dad has had a bad grief day and I now feel like shit for leaving him alone, but he insists that company won't help any. I feel so bad for him. I've grieved and missed people, but grieving someone you spent damn near every day of 50 years with must be something else.

Snack daddy never lets us down trying this stuff so we don't have to 😂 ...........but I'm intrigued 👀 I'm a whore for all things citrus, especially lemon 🤤

Finally got out of work, now of course there's an unspecified wait of "a few minutes" to get my shots. And I have to go to the OTHER pharmacy and pick up Dad's prescriptions after this. Bleh.

He should call it And Another Thing

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Today is the slowest work day EVER and I have to do crap after work too and I can't leave early because nobody else is leaving early aaaaaghgghh.

Chicago never doesn't rep

a man was just found not guilty by jury lollification

PERIODIC REMINDER THAT IN THE UNITED STATES YOUR *RIGHT* TO DISCUSS YOUR SALARY WITH YOUR COWORKERS IS PROTECTED BY FEDERAL LAW AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO THAT

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

Once saw somebody answer "what did Watson and Crick discover?" with "Rosalind Franklin's notes," that's always been a favorite of mine.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

10/10 take. No notes.

This was the argument I tried to make to my dad -- "I know actual literal self-described communists and they think Mamdani's a pussy." Didn't work.

Nancy Pelosi secretly being queen of the stock market and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vocally opposing elected officials profiting off the stock market feel like intrinsically connected facts that quietly explain their instant bad blood the minute they became House colleagues

Well I'm in, the charity night was way too expensive and the after hours was sold out by the time I clicked, LMAO

Waaaay too antsy about this BlizzCon ticket sale. Want it over already.

Already have it, signal boosting!

I dislike that we have given so little decency to Jewish and Muslim people that some of my crafters have to figure out if they have the enotional currency to make art that is representative of their culture because the audience at large can't be trusted to engage with it normally.

California is MAD

MFP continuing to hold itself to a better standard.

Pokemon is basically a thing Nintendo does where once every couple of years they release a new set of character designs and I get to enjoy cute fanart based on these character designs for the next two years. Allegedly, a video game is somehow involved somewhere

Ten more minutes of work and I can't leave early because Dad ordered dinner for pickup after my normal quitting time. Today has draaaaaaaaaagged.

Adding that, to the extent that women are averse to conflict, or “directness,” it’s because you call us castrating bitches when we do that.

Dad actually stiffly congratulated me last night on Mamdani's win. Probably his way of trying to apologize for baiting me into an unpleasant conversation about him the other day. I just said thank you, though while I do like the guy, the mayorship of New York isn't gonna affect my life much.

I feel like Roger Stone may in fact be a masochist. How the fuck are you gonna set yourself up so cleanly for such a slam dunk?

She’s right. The government started putting gender on passports in 1972 out of concern that men and women were getting too hard to tell apart, what with all the hippies with long hair and feminists in pants and whatnot. Strike gender from IDs. Everywhere. It serves no purpose. @murray.senate.gov

I appreciate Nancy Pelosi's hard work and general career, and acknowledge she was better than a lot of the old farts who need to get out of office already. Buuuuuut yeah, it's past time. So neither the fawning nor the mocking is really hitting for me.

And that's a wrap

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

FUUUUUUCK. Our power is out, and I thought I had until MONDAY to pay it, but apparently I’m just in the dark now. If you can help me out, it would mean more to me than you guys know. PayPal.me/MaeGodHaveMercy Cash.app/$MaeGodHaveMercy Venmo.com/u/MaeGodHaveMercy

Saw someone say that the enraged radicalized wine moms are going to impose Sangria Law and honestly that’s pretty good

Autistic ways of saying “I love you” (that you might miss): - “I researched your problem. Here are your options” - “I made a spreadsheet/ list/ plan to help you” - being ourselves around you (infodumping, not masking etc) - “Here’s a meme that I think you’d like” #AutismAwareness

Sharing this again. I've ordered 48 cards and only gotten 2 responses, so y'all better step up.

How does one go about getting a fursona designed, anyway? Are there artists who do that in particular? (I know she's a green-eyed Canadian lynx but that's about all...)

We imported 20 years of Jackson Free Press stories into mississippifreepress.org website. So much history + context not reported elsewhere: we changed journalism here (truth). Have fun searching! I have 4,735 pieces there! I suggest Frank Melton ones that riveted a city and led to two trials. 🙂‍↔️

Similar to many great athletes, Nancy Pelosi accomplished many amazing things and also stayed in the game way past the time she should have retired.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has released a resume portal via his transition site, offering jobs for people of all skill levels “to help build an administration of public servants that will drive down costs and keep all New Yorkers safe.” www.transition2025.com/apply

Residents of Yazoo City, Mississippi, are being ordered to shelter in place after an ammonia plant exploded at C.F. Industries, which produces nitrogen products, including ammonia and fertilizer. Some residents and businesses were ordered to evacuate, including a nearby Walmart.

Lindsey Boylan was the first whistleblower to come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. Her accusations & those of 12 others were corroborated by the NY AG (and later by DOJ.) Cuomo resigned. Now he has lost again, and this picture is as unabashed a joy as you'll see.

Alright, I swear to CARP I'm actually sending out holiday cards this year. I even already ordered them. Fill out this form if you would like one. forms.gle/Y6KxFbYo7m2C...

Lori Lightfoot left office two years ago and has a pretty short natural haircut, so I’m not sure what Grandpa O’Sundown is babbling about

Y’know how the vibes are immaculate right now, and so you’re constantly refreshing the timeline? Bluesky didn’t cause that. It channeled it. Good times make good platforms. Bluesky, as a platform, has been saddled with trying to scale amidst bad times.
