Yep... Get your iron levels checked! I turned out to have hemochromatosis (iron overload), but anemia can also cause crazy fatigue and aches.

25 years on that site and I still groan at some of the puns people come up. And then there are the meme wars and everything else ridiculous on TFD... 'tis a silly place.

@lecinenerd.bsky.social Piotr and I are working on our backlog of 30-20-10 as is tradition on our road trips, and we just heard your Fark shout out from the 6/15 episode! ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

The chemo drugs they gave Piotr are on this list and I wish I could say I was surprised. 🀬

25 years in and counting, it's nice to know my favorite corner of the internet is still relevant.

The weather in Georgia is gross, specifically the heat and humidity. Where do I lodge my official protest?

He's used government services, plenty of them. He just refuses to realize it or acknowledge their value.

#altFam and #altGov hope every #altCitizen joins us tomorrow for a tribute to @realdollyparton.bsky.social

Let’s #MakeDollySmile on her 1st wedding anniversary after Carl’s death. Bring your kindness.

In these strange times we should all ask β€œWhat would Dolly do?”

It's difficult to be certain given all the variables, but the question of kart jurisdiction would likely cause a great debate between the Mushroom Kingdom CPSC and Mushroom Kingdom NHTSA.

This would be an ideal time for a Roger Rabbit sequel where he accidentally learns top secret information and the gov is after him. Call it "Who CC'd Roger Rabbit?"

Just another day in Toon Town.

Except that we don't have reliable buses (which run on a hub and spoke model that makes commutes longer), walking isn't practical at distance, and some of us are disabled and can't use those empty bike lanes.

No. Stop. It's damned near impossible to get across town in a reasonable amount of time anymore, and these "road diets" are just driving people who live in Kalamazoo to go spend their money in places that aren't Kalamazoo. It just lengthens commutes (and idling emissions) and increases road rage.

"your rights extend only up to the point where they interfere with the rights of others" (Clement Atlee, I think)

Being alive is kind of a big right -- also the greatest privilege.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
