Just visited New York and what happened to jaywalking. Nobody wants to jaywalk any more
I love that the power loader in Aliens isn't a mecha fighting suit, Ripley is just beating the Queen's ass with a forklift that walks
Hey, remember when the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted on some new vaccine recommendations in April?
More than a month later, only 1 of 3 recommendations has actually moved ➡ forward.
New vaccines NOT coming soon to a healthcare provider near you...
My "ethnic cleansing is always bad" take is actually universal, so if you read that and think ICE should contemplate it as they get mad people compare them to the Gestapo, go ahead.
Standing in awe of the @propublica.org team helmed by @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social that pulled off this journalistic feat: a stunning narrative that painstakingly captures Helene’s tragedies and NC’s missed opportunities. www.propublica.org/article/hurr.... www.propublica.org/article/hurr...
Calvin and Hobbes doesn’t get enough love for having very realistic parents who love their son but also are just constantly like for fucks sake. Plus they both look like they listen to podcasts. They are very podcast coded.
