yet another article by a Murdoch-owned paper blaming Prince Andrew’s crimes on …. his mother. 🤮

adults are responsible for their own actions. good people can have difficult childhoods; bad people can have immaculate parenting and still be bad.

quit blaming women for adult men’s choices

cat is asleep on my lap now.

i don't usually watch baseball but the skyline is hilarious tonight

Bill Murray in Groundhog Day but it’s the World Series or something.

“Well, it’s the top of the inning…again…”

Her refusal to approve a dangerous drug changed medical history As federal workers face mass layoffs and a government shutdown, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey's story is a reminder of what public servants can do when they stand their ground.

good story about the woman at the FDA who held up approval of thalidomide in the US, saving families from the profound birth defects that the drug caused.

Slackbot has fallen 🫡

It’s amazing watching so many people choose the wrong side of history while history is happening all around us

🧵 regarding the shutdown:

The Democrats aren’t being clear enough about this but we can be: this shutdown is about saving lives.

If we don’t reverse the Medicaid cuts (and the ACA subsidies on insurance bought through the exchanges) that Republicans made this year, people will die.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Using an AI chat agent to shop and then getting a bogus, unusable AI-generated product would be darkly funny if not for them setting the planet on fire to do it

Also fun, Etsy is being swamped with garbage AI-generated listings for digital download items, like sewing/knitting/crochet patterns and e-books. It’s particularly bad that they prey on newbies who don’t have the expertise to know that the “product” photos look wrong.
