The truth is never wrong. It’s rarely polite or civil but it’s never wrong to speak the truth.

Hot or maybe not so hot take for the day.
ICE employees, all of them, should be given the Benedict Arnold treatment. We can add all the current Administration as well.

Every Judge appointed by Trump should be impeached. Every Republican Supreme Court justice also should be impeached. At minimum.

All this.

I beg everyone who sees this to check your settings and make sure you disable all the LLM/GenAI shit you can, as soon as you can. Don't try them out, don't "see what they can do" for you, don't fall for the hype, don't get used to them, don't become dependent on them.

There's a high price here.

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses? Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale.

If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

I’m so sorry you had to deal with such an unprofessional asshole.

This. I’ve never been a moderator but I have been part of the admin team for a forum and the first rule for conflicts was to take the heated discussions out of the public forum.
On second thought, I technically did have a sub-forum that I was the moderator for but it didn’t really have conflicts.

Time to log out and go touch some grass.

I don't know who needs to see this, but... autism is a disability because it limits our abilities... not because it removes them.

Also, disability is not a bad word. It's a descriptive one.

@pixelfish Made me think of Doom.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Some of us have children that are in that age range.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

The people who don't believe that black people are of equal worth and are deserving of civil rights ARE NAZIS. Buddy, we're not out here disagreeing over whether or not to put a stoplight up by Main Street. Those are full-fledged fascists!

Rounding up my neighbors to lock them away in concentration camps is Nazi behavior. Sending your son to a reeducation facility to rid him of his homosexuality is Nazi behavior. If you don't want to be called a Nazi, don't do Nazi things!

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

I didn’t get raptured, heathen that I am. I still had to have my bilateral carpal tunnel surgery yesterday because my doctors and nurses also did not get raptured. Recovery is going well. Happy Wednesday y’all.

I am so sorry. She has been a wonderful friend here and at the other place. I’ve missed seeing her posts here and will continue to miss her.

Oooh this could be fun

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Please note: you don't have to subscribe to Disney again (they're hiking prices tomorrow, btw), but you can *still* bitch at Sinclair about it: WIN-WIN

Wait, there’s a rapture happening tomorrow? Is this an annual thing now? If so, can we lobby them for a consistent day? And make it a holiday weekend while we’re at it?

Same

Fortunately it’s not constant but I still get itchy episodes and I think it’s because they are covered and are the first thing that gets damp and sweaty.

Exactly this

My c-section scars still itch 32 years later. Not exactly the same but close enough.

He simply can’t comprehend that nobody cares what he thinks.
