I second this! (Especially from 1 sept to 8 sept…)

Had 16 doctors over 7 specialties in 5 years tell me it was musculoskeletal problems. Husband took me to the er after 10 days of unable to get out of bed. Doctor 17, specialty 8 ordered a ct contrast and found a 9x5mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter. But me asking if my kidney is dying means nothing

It certainly feels like I have to practically self diagnose in order to get test to investigate doesn’t it?

My one counter to 3-b is please leave room for neuro diversity. The rehearsed nature may be their only way of getting the information out and interruptions can cause them to forget information.

Instagram is rolling out a new feature where anyone can see your location at any time.

Disable this by going into your DMs and clicking on the map at the top, then selecting “no one” when it asks you who can see you (or via the gear icon).

So yeah this is fun.

Thank you!

I have a very important question for @virginie.bsky.social: how do I say George in French?

A cartoon drawn by Bruce MacKinnon of the Chronicle Herald in Halifax. Originally drawn some years ago, Bruce couldn’t find a newspaper willing to print it. It depicts Trump in a suit taking a piss towards a fan with a Canadian maple leaf on it. The fan blows the piss back into his fat face. He’s drenched in his own piss. The sign above him reads: HOW TARIFFS WORK.

NEW: Spain cancels plans to buy US-made F-35 fighters, a day after India paused all US military orders.

They join Canada, Denmark, Portugal, Switzerland & Germany in shunning US defense deals.

I promise you that everything I make is 0% generative ai.

The person who named them woofers and tweeters should have named more stuff.

Along the passport lines, voting is not on a registration basis. You just have to show you’re over 18.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I can’t help but wonder what this nonsense idea is being used to distract us.

How is it astonishing when they laid out their agenda with Project 2025? They weren’t keeping it a secret.

Please understand that if you air even a single ICE ad on your program, on your podcast, on your stream, you will never, for the rest of your mortal life, receive another dollar or another second of attention from me, or from millions of others.

I promise you, it is financial suicide.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Why? Seriously? It’s because you continually vote for his agenda and people, you don’t pressure or press your republican counterparts, and democrat party right now now has no spine and will to stop it.

What precisely is long form narrative podcasting?

I’m so happy they’re back!!

When you strip away humanity

Beneath the Howl of Hunger “And though the world may have looked away, let this much be remembered: we named the hunger. We bore it. We endured. Let that remain.” – Alaa Alqaisi

"There is no end to the horror, no fade to black. The children here continue to age without ever growing up. The elderly speak of bread the way others speak of lost lovers."

—Alaa Alqaisi for @arablit.bsky.social

I found that calling this Visa number didn't work, as the people here can only handle complaints regarding cards and accounts from what I can tell (unless I'm doing something wrong?) I did however find what appears to be the number for Visa's headquarters. Do with that what you will
