There is no justification. Heβll do it anyway, and every Republican in power will refuse to do anything to help the Dems stop him.

It was clear this woman has no interest in actual facts. I got frustrated and called her breathtakingly stupid. Not my finest moment, but I stand by my comment. (2/2)
I try very hard to be polite when I engage with people with whom I disagree. And I generally donβt start things on other peoples Facebook pages. But my mom shared a fact check on her Facebook page today and some woman jumped in her comments with πlies. I tried to offer facts. It didnβt work. (1/2)
I just went and got it. Even if you do have antibodies, itβs not harmful to get a booster. It was faster and easier to just get the shot.
That is interesting because I just got my booster today at a CVS. They didnβt charge me. I told the pharmacist Iβve been vaccinated and am in the βmaybeβ category but because I work at a college I wanted to get a booster.

I got an MMR booster today! Iβm not taking any chance of measles getting me.
A second judge rules against Trump's plan to end birthright citizenship:
"No court in the country has ever endorsed the presidentβs interpretation. This court will not be the first," the judge said.

βAn outbreak of tuberculosis in the Kansas City area has grown into one of the largest ever recorded in the United States, with dozens of active cases of the infectious disease reported, according to health officials.β
It was down just now when I tried to access it.
Tuberculosis outbreaks are popping up and the CDC is being ordered not to communicate to WHO or the public. They are scrubbing websites of information about TB, HIV and adolescent health.
Because I canβt resist gallows humor, my cocktail tonight is a Boo Radley.
Iβm starting to feel like Iβm coming down with something, and Iβm literally looking at my calendar for this week trying to figure out which day I can be sick if o need to. π«

Hi! ππ» π
Am I considered IRL? π
All of big media is broken. All of it.
I have been subjected to a new level of captcha hell. What even is this? After 5 it wouldnβt let me click anymore. I tried four times so that I could track an order, and it wouldnβt let me.
A photo of a Manhattan cocktail sitting on a ledge with winter garland.
My photo came out a little crooked, but Iβm treating myself to a Manhattan tonight. Iβve been doing damp January since I had surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Exactly.
My plan for the rest of the day is to take a hot shower, toss some laundry in and finish Season 2 of Shrinking.
Weβve now entered the Temu era of presidential appointmentsβ¦π«
Iβve had a different experience there. It feels more social to me. But it did take me some time to train the algorithm to see more of what I want and less of what I donβt.
I saw this same post and felt something was off. One tactic used to quell outrage is to throw so much outrageous false information at the public that they become numb to the truth when it matters. We all need to be careful not to participate.
Saturday afternoon cocktails
because nothing says 'I'm innocent of all charges' more than 'please don't release the report on me'
Iβm pretty happy with this today.

Beers and trivia at my favorite brewery on this cold, rainy Thursday.
Iβm giving it another go!
I donβt know if the weather is matching my mood today or my mood is matching the weather.
Itβs a nightmare is what it is.
I requested my archive, downloaded it on a thumb drive and deleted my Twitter account a few weeks ago. Iβm on Threads a lot and here a bit. Iβm glad to have finally stopped using Twitter.
