You know what, though? I would far rather have a very old man with age-related mental decline who is a well-educated, compassionate human being as President than a VOMWARMD who is an ignorant, self-centered prick. (Leaving aside the cause of mental decline in both cases.)

This ought to bloody well scare you.

Now I have that song stuck in my head thank you so very much

“Golden dome.”

Golden.

Right.

Now WHY would that chart put me in mind of the handwriting of... certain people?

Did you know that the leading cause of death for pregnant women is homicide?

To all the students located in and around New Orleans - med, nursing, culinary - who are logging in to the HmF learning software today, I say this:

WTF? It's fucking MARDI GRAS. GET OUT OF THE HOUSE

“look what you made me do” is classic abuser’s language. it’s your own fucking fault that I went ape-shit on you. that’s the attitude Republicans took on the Sunday shows, as they explained how it was Zelensky’s own fault that he got ambushed and tag-teamed by Donny Convict and Couchfuck McGee: look at what he made them do. he should have shown deference. he shouldn’t have talked back. he shouldn’t have been dressed provocatively. he shouldn’t have been out walking alone late at night.

from today's post —
thanks for reading!

Sigh. I just had to cut the phrase "To conclude and summarize," from one of the modules in our curriculum.

I don't know whether to beat my own head against a wall or pat the writer on the head because they're so cute at that age.

Well, who's going to pick our vegetables and fruit once we've deported everyone who does that work? HuH?

(sorry, my sarcasm font didn't load today)

WUT.

"Gash?" Sorry, not following?

That said, "the ick" is not new. It's just that women are talking about when and what things inexplicably turn them off, which is their right because PERSONAL CHOICE, and Oh Noes tha Menz are all up in their feelings about women having standards of any kind.

Wait until they bloom!

In today's Outdated Out of Office Auto-Respond Message of the Day: "I am currently out of the office with an anticipated return date of 02/18/2024." (Yeah, that might be a typo. Then again... it might not.)

Another one: "On PTO with some work time." Uh, what?

Okay today is actually Sunday so I don't need to be doing work. I am going to go read my book now.

You might be Gen X if you somehow read that "lord god king bu-fu."

That's it. That's the post.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders. Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle. In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces. Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps. This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025: Print - The New York Times TV - NBC News Radio - National Public Radio Online News - POLITICO In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets. Print - New York Post TV - One America News Network Radio - Breitbart News Network Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)

To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously. The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps. Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon. (John Ullyot Acting

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

NBC, The New York Times, NPR and POLITICO have been booted from their offices at the Pentagon and are being replaced by such news luminaries as OANN and the New York Post.

Yes, please. @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social

Yeah, I must be an English major because I interpreted that about four different ways.

Yes, 29 nuns between the ages of 58 and 73 were given two 8 ounce glasses of non-alcoholic beer every day for 45 days to see if the beer affected blood markers that affect cardiovascular risk.

The mental image is priceless.

Now you *know* I'm wondering where the hell they found a bunch of little old ladies to drink non-alcoholic beer.

Turns out.... they found them in a convent.

Today I was digging around in the journals database online and found an exceptionally good one. Listen to this title:

"Effects of alcohol-free beer on lipid profile and parameters of oxidative stress and inflammation in elderly women"
