And lurking behind the flagpole, way in the back, was the invasive bamboo…
Wait, different metaphor, sorry.

Constantly reminded of @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s DoppelgΓ€nger and how she describes these mirror worlds. Interestingly, last week’s Bannon-Epstein emails show how the mirror world prophets warning about mirror world villains are pretty darn close and accepting of actual villains in the real world.

This man, Rev. Michael Woolf, wrote this for us earlier this month: "It is up to us to keep our communities safe from this terror, and scripture tells us that God will meet us thereβ€”at the picket line, amid the tear gas." sojo.net/articles/opi...

Or is he imaging people being able to use it to pay directly for care out-of-pocket and that would somehow be cheaper?
I’ve also always wondered what he thinks β€œhealthcare” means. β€œGrocery” -once he learned the word - he seemed to grasp a little more concretely.

That’s super convenient to get a 90-day supply at a time. I don’t know how your prescriber manages that given the federal rules for Sched II drugs requiring issuance of 3 separate 30-day prescriptions when prescribing for 90 days. I’ll have to look for rules updates and ask around. Thanks!

From someone who has been there, highly recommend getting a 7 day pill box. No idea how people do it otherwise. It’s impossible.

No one can get a dispense of more that 30-day supply anywhere in the US. It’s federal law. Also, this recall does not seem to be a safety issue for any of us. Just that the caps *may not dissolve as well as usual and therefore *may not work as well as usual.

I am a doctor and completely agree. Thank you. This article needs a fact check on its fact check.

Friends in ADHD, let’s not freak each other out, we have enough stress. The worst that can happen if your last 30 caps (we only get 30 at a time in the US) were dispensed from a bottle on this recall list is that your med might not dissolve as well as usual, and that might effect how well it works.

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

I have a feeling a lot more Americans relate to calling a parent’s cousin an aunt than… whatever this dumb attack attempt is. It takes me 5 min to explain my technical familial relation to some of my uncles and aunts. Anyway, enjoy: youtu.be/17xIMTE2f8U?...

Elon surely doesn’t believe most people in this world are, well, people. From his own children to the children he’s starved by helping destroy USAID.

I keep getting the nagging feeling that nothing is actually going to be built. Can’t decide if it’s hope (that we don’t get a giant gaudy monument to him on our WH grounds) or cynicism (that he wants to grift all the building β€œdonations”, not just trade them for favors)

Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

The docs and staff at Erie have an impossible job on the best of days. They and the community they serve shouldn’t have to suffer this. What a f-ing nightmare.
