alright, it’s that time of night where I start thinking about literally everything that’s gone wrong over the last six years

Screenshot of an article in the telegraph. Headline reads “Keep brain-dead women alive and use them as surrogate mothers, suggest doctors Medical association apologises after academic argued it could become a common way to bring new children into the world”

This article is from 2023. In 2025, a Georgia hospital did it.

Adriana Smith. Say her name.

ER staff misdiagnosed a clot in her brain.

She was 9 weeks pregnant & brain dead. They kept her alive as an incubator without consent of the family.

They experimented on a Black woman.

hate the feeling of wanting to play video games, having lots of video games and yet nothing sounding appealing. game void🫥

I used to love red. It was my color.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

🗝️

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I'm sitting on this post for a very special day. If a political figure publicly mocks or politicizes the death of an opponent or public figure, they forfeit the ability to credibly demand universal decorum when death later touches their own side. The world will celebrate while giving zero fucks.

Screenshot from STAT article that says "What we're going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles," he said. "What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What's the incidence of death?"

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Think about it: someone will be the very first person to open their bottle of champagne when it happens.

One person, out of 8.3 billion, is walking around right now not knowing that they will be the very first person on earth to pop the cork when it happens.

I do honestly think my phone will make some kind of special new noise

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

When my grandmother had an electrical issue there was a stop and start period where we she was in and out and weirdly lucid. Then like three hours later the light went out.

B @BFthoughts • 1 hour ago In this video, it seems obvious why an officer could fear she was going to run into him with her vehicle. Wow! I hadn't seen this angle. He had a reason to feel threatened. It is done. :

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

20 years of being hyper cautious with harm reduction advice because the law was ready to jump down our throats if anyone so much as vomited too hard after receiving a pamphlet and these techbro assholes can apparently straight up murder someone with bad drug advice and face zero consequences

I love lamp.

What I Build Will Outlast Every Man Who Ever Wanted Me. On choosing permanence over performance.

After the response to my posts about nature cure, & the conversation they opened about the myths surrounding it, I wanted to reshare this deeply personal piece.

A screenshot of an article from the Citizen Times titled "Answer woman: Does APD share license plate camera data with ICE?". Text reads "APD has Flock data sharing agreements with 12 of the 26 agencies, according to the data-sharing list released by APD. However, Flock rolled out new tools to give local agencies, like APD, more control over what data from their cameras can be used for. In early December, the company added a required drop-down menu for offense types that must be filled out before an agency can search for data. Before, an officer would fill out a free text field to describe why the search was being conducted. Agencies can decide what offense types are allowed to be entered and place a ban on searches for immigration, Beilin said. Immigration enforcement is listed as a prohibited search function on APD’s transparency dashboard."

Trump orders oil tankers blockade in Venezuela, labels Maduro regime a "terrorist" group The escalation exerts unprecedented pressure on the Maduro regime, threatening to bankrupt Venezuela's already struggling economy.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

The 85% of evangelicals who support stripping rights, safetynets for the poor, and security for the foreigner are blaspheming God, what is sin but to disobey God

Whiteness is an idol because it serves them privileges. God hates when people twist his laws to oppress others

This is a photo from the Vanity Fair article. Notice how they have to arrange it so Stephen Miller is on the end, so it isn’t obvious that there is no reflection of him on the mirrored table.🧛

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

This is what's happening in epidemiology.
