And even then, people should check the lists regularly, for example, although I trust your judgement I just had to unmute one of your lists (I would love a way to override listings for people you follow, for instance)

The brand of ice cream I buy has been on sale two weeks in a row so my freezer looks like I’m about to open a scoop shop.

Every single barrier to vaccination leaves more and more people unprotected.

Furthermore, the U.S. presently doesn’t have monovalent vaccines for MMR.

Finally, if anti-vaxxers want kids to get fewer shots because of unnecessary fears of aluminum, why do they want to expose them 3x as much?

I could not disagree more. There are many reasons that MMR is given as one shot. Separating it out means:

-Babies more vulnerable to preventable disease for no reason
-Three times as many doc visits
-Three times more shitty days for baby
-Three times more copays
-Three times more work absences

I make apple cider macaroni and cheese from scratch, it’s good 🤷‍♀️

The old punk told me
that over the weekend she saw
a really sexy Halloween costume
and before I could ask
what it was
she sent me a picture
of a normal person
wearing a respirator
along with the caption
“there’s nothing sexier
than a person
who gives a shit about other people.”

Everyone is mute. Blocking is purely a bespoke action for me.

One of my go-to macaroni and cheese recipes has both apples and cider in it, it’s very good.

I put 5 things on my “must accomplish“ list for not-work this week. I have done one of them.

It actually is mind blowing to check out X and see what is essentially 4chan which is also populated with politicians, media figures, "thought leaders" etc.

A dystopian horror, really. Where neo-Nazis now have equal standing with mainstream leaders. There is a reason Fuentes is now so mainstreamed.

I got through the work part of Monday. Go me.

Boosting this since I have learned that a local-to-me free kitchen had not yet made allowance for the few people they will get each day who have celiac.

This is a reminder that despite its name; the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has not worked on rocket designs itself for about 70 years now.

Since there is apparently quite outrageous disinformation circulating about what is and is not on-lab.

A tough truth the day before the election:

No matter who wins, the amount of election coverage that’s been focused on the Jews is likely going to bring about more antisemitism in this city. We will be blamed for any outcome even though we’re 12% of NYC’s pop. This is how antisemitism works.

And..

The ones you make for thanksgiving, not the cake one. Sorry, brain is not firing on all cylinders

As I regularly note, "AI" at this point is an umbrella marketing term for a bunch or generative/machine learning/other formerly differently-termed processes that (of course) have no actual intelligence behind them. It means nothing useful for how the underlying computing proceeds. Thus the quotes.

A Review of Grokipedia, Using Myself as Test Subject What? You didn’t know that Grokipedia exists? Well, it does, and it’s Elon Musk’s attempt to run Wikipedia out of town on a rail: An “AI”-generated compendium of infor…

And in case you missed my own post about how Grokipedia is error-prone right-wing "AI"-babble:

if you ever wonder why the food system seems so broken & impossible to fix

imagine if we tried to fix the electrical grid by just sidelining the many capable electricians & engineers we have in this country

and instead just had a ton of IG accounts about the romance of DIY linework

hey chat is it a good sign when your compliance people quit as soon as they actually get access to your operation

For whatever reason Austen has never clicked for me. I don’t dislike it, I just don’t love it. Probably about time for me to give it another try sometime soon.

Do people know that politicians get paid to do politics? That politics is actually their JOB?

Frame it as unpacking the courts or unfucking the courts.

Liberals seem not to like “pack the courts” language.

The Federalist Society packed the courts.

I’m sorry to have to do this but the glasses were necessary to correct my prescription. I’m sorry to ask. Please share?

A crop of this was my profile picture on the other site for a while. It’s a reminder that little things have big impacts.

Did you see the Porkchop plushie?

The Talmud is Tumblr for Torah, just endless shitposting that crosses over into Twitter, IG, Bluesky, an endless web of threads in every color shit talking Plimo

I am having a shitty time of it right now, so time to reread @travisbaldree.bsky.social’s Legends and Lattes two or three more times. It really is like a cozy blanket in book form.

People keep making these mistakes. Whoopsie Nazi tattoo. Whoopsie Auschwitz float.

This needs to be an international headline; the more pots and pans we bang about this the harder it will be for the Israeli govt to bury it

My mom wants your pumpkin roll recipe, btw
