Or New Mexico!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Maybe this is the location of the missing uniform shirts!

I feel like there’s a big group of people who believe that Fetterman was Like This all along and somehow pulled a long con on voters. But the reality is probably that he had a massive stroke that fundamentally changed his personality and made him deeply susceptible to conspiracy theories.

This is a harsh truth that more and more voters - particularly Democrats - need to accept.

Yes, what is happening in Dallas is unfair and infuriating and needs to be condemned.

But early voting is a great way to minimize any GOP chicanery like what we're seeing tonight.

It’s a migraine trigger for me and the fact that no one can decide on a labeling convention for that and monkfruit makes me INSANE. “No sugar added” also sometimes has stevia, FWIW.

The timing of that was honestly a super weird choice. Like, I know they’re friends, but most Dem voters do not feel particularly warmly towards Harris. She’s also a walking, talking reminder of the racism and sexism inherent in American politics. If you’re Crockett, can’t imagine you want that.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. 🔥🔥🔥

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

Also I blocked the other dude. Sorry he was an ass to you vaguely downstream of my original comment.

(Also, like, “I had a regrettable tattoo and said dumb shit on the Internet, I’m sorry” is four million billion trillion times better than like 9/10ths of the Republicans right now because “not actively expressing Christian Nationalist views” is a high bar to clear right now. 🫠)

Yeah I’m just kind of at a point where I’m like… is he the single best candidate I’ve ever seen in my life? No. Am I already sick of people calling him Fetterman 2.0 and a Nazi? Yes. BECAUSE THERE ARE LITERAL NAZIS RIGHT NOW. I’m so tired of Dems insisting on the perfect being the enemy of the good.

I mean there are other qualified people in the race - Jordan Wood for one. They just haven’t gotten any traction. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’d rather have a good Democrat than a shitty Democrat, but frankly, I’d still rather have a shitty Democrat than a Republican. And I’m not convinced Mills plays well in the general.

Just bananas how our very system of government is inherently biased against Democrats. That system is how we’ve found ourselves in this mess. I don’t know what the solution is - DC, PR, better proportional representation in the House…? But if we don’t fix it, we’re just going to keep ending up here.

Puppies are the price you pay for incredible adult dogs. Hang in there!

Not a big raw oyster human (so by no means an expert) but those look like art 👌🏻

I have to say, when my ex was in the ICU, everyone on earth brought us lasagna, and with the exception of one (which was legit incredible, I wish I had been able to figure out who dropped it off) I’d probably have taken Stouffers over everything else. 😬 The homemade lasagna landscape is bleak.

I feel similarly about Stouffer’s macaroni and cheese.

If you have parents this stupid and you survive to adulthood unscathed physically, you should be legally able to take all their money and put them in a haunted house for their retirement

Dem voters on a panel unanimously saying they want a progressive candidate, not a moderate

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

I take one (to manage BGL) and I can assure you: the reason I am eating out less right now has very little to do with my medication and a whole lot more to do with the fact that a burger at a mid-range restaurant is like $20 minimum these days. 🙃

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak

My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Leaded gasoline.

Thin hoar frost is lit by the sun when it gilds a dead poplar leaf and some branches.

Thick rime crystals coat the right side of the bare branches of a shrub. It is lit by the setting sun. The crystals are at least an inch long.

Fluffy rime coast the needles of a spruce tree on a foggy morning.

My annual post about the difference between hoar frost and rime.

Hoar: water vapour transforms directly into frost (deposition). Happens when it's clear and cold and the crystals are small.

Rime: water vapour in the ice forms ice. Happens when warm and foggy. Much longer and long-lived crystals

I’m in state public health. It is godawful right now. I’m grateful to have a job where I get to fight the good fight, don’t get me wrong, but my state had a baby die of listeria (probably d/t raw milk consumption) and a hundred measles cases and it’s all just… exhausting. I am simply out of road.
