There are several generations that never saw the effects of measles, and longer for polio, because science worked and people trusted science.

Now some fuckwits have politicized science and public health, and people are making anti-science a cornerstone of their political identity, fucking everyone.

I think drugs are probably the number one thing that might make me think I could fight a cat. It's cool to be a cat, it's cool for cats!

I'm going to really want a 10" table saw once the spring hits and I can get outside to work on the house, but I'm going to really wish I got the compact 8 1/4" one in the fall when I have to find somewhere to store the damn thing for the winter.

I will never not share my favorite public health poster.

"Free in-store pickup"

Wow! Bargain! I've been paying to pickup my stuff from other stores!

That's just the trash taking itself out for you.

KHAAAAAN!!!

I think of All Along The Watchtower, or Nothing Compares To You, or Sweet Jane - all saw complete re-imaginings that took nothing away from the original, and still birthed something amazing.

these two young white guys on IG go to an NYC restaurant each week to try food from a different country. they posted a video bringing together the owners of their first 12 stops & it made me cry bc it was simple & beautiful. just people from all over the world hanging & being pals. how it should be.

The Dow increase from 30k to 40k represented a 33% increase in, but 40k to 50k is only 25%. 50k to 60k will only take about a 20% increase. The higher the number gets, the less impressive the actual growth.

Stock price, not weight determines weight in the index. A smaller company with fewer available shares may have a high stock price, while a larger company with more available shares, and more market value, may have a lower stock price, and yet the smaller, high price stock is worth more on the index.

The Dow is the most commonly cited measure of the US stock market, and is an open ended scale of points, not dollars. It includes only 30 companies, in only 9 of the 11 major sectors, omitting real estate and utilities. Chevron is the entire energy sector, Sherwin-Williams is materials.

You know the GOP would just change the legal definition of the term pedophile to allow their pedophile to stay in office.

Everything about this movie is fantastic!

Parts of the US are poor. They don’t have to be but Republicans don’t care. Take Mississippi. It’s economy most resembles Romania, Bulgaria and Chile. Feeling great again?

Kentucky, the state that housed the former GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history, consistently ranked among the 10 poorest states in the U.S., with a 2026 poverty rate of approx. 15.6%. It is ranked 46th out of 50 states for wealth.

Wow! That’s stunning!

Not to brag but I made a whole new galaxy this weekend

Not to be confused with stasisdicks. They just sit there, like doityourselfdicks.

An Elon Musk lover account followed me? Do you even read bruh? GTFOut of here!

I love Apple's Contacts app on MacOS.

You have 2 of every contact.

Ok - update one.

Updated. The other contact isn't updated, so clearly they're 2 separate records, right? Delete the outdated duplicate.

Now you have 0 of that contact! You're welcome! #FFS

You had me a cheesecake, you had me at cheesecake.

(it's the pie of cakes)

Fight, flight and a secret 3rd thing

(whatever gets you through the night, it's alright, it's alright)

That's interesting.
Why do you feel that way?
Let's circle back to this later...

If there's a single good use for AI (and it's questionable), it's this.

I think this week would be a good week to sell Chuck Schumer the Brooklyn Bridge. Who's with me?

Burn it all down.

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."
