It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.

Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Their whole website has been wiped of outbreak information. Are there any back channels to keep people informed, especially for bird flu outbreaks?

We need lessons from her therapist. How do we deprogram the rest of the cult? Her recognizing she was in a cult was a big first step.

Their complacency is a problem. They need to grow a backbone as the opposition party. It might not be enough votes to stop anything, but at least register the opposition. These are not times to reach across the aisle unless it's with a fist.

I will explain more as I figure out ways to describe embryo development in plain language with character limits.

2/2 about 30 hours for the first cell division to occur at which time the ovum becomes a zygote. It takes about 24 DAYS before primordial germ cells form in the embryo, and yes, those are destined to become oocytes. If we use germ cells at conception to define sex, there is no binary sex, it's null.

Biology lesson because even those intending well are getting things wrong. I'll do this over several posts and several days. I'll start with: at the time of conception, there are no germ cells. That is when the pronuclei of the sperm and oocyte join and form the single-celled ovum. It will take 1/2

I do not believe there is a single person who truly believes it was anything BUT a Nazi salute. They are making excuses because he did the thing they speak of in hushed voices and know is frowned on by the world. They're still using dog whistles and he used the full on train whistle.

last a long time, longer than the package expiration date. Extreme heat damages them.

There are a number of sites to look up how many regular birth control pills (based on brand) to take as an emergency contraceptive. When I started becoming menopausal, I kept buying the pill (cheap and covered by insurance) until my prescription ran out. Steroids stored in a room temp environment

Coincidental. But I like it, lol!

I deleted Twitter the day Musk bought it.

I'm wondering if some of it is Chatgpt.

Perhaps it's time we resurrect the acronym NEWDWAR. Don't argue with those who have no argument and give them credibility, but let others see they are spewing nonsense. For the young'uns, NEWDWAR= not even worth dignifying with a response. It dismisses them as too wrong to even bother arguing with.

When the app started thanking Trump, I closed my account and deleted it. I listed my reason as they sold out to Trump. I only installed it when he first was against it as a site where people planned resistance against him. If they're caving to him now, I have no need for it.

That has been going on far longer than 10 years. We've been fighting creationism/intelligent design and young Earthers as "an alternate theory" for multiple generations now. The creep of religious extremism into politics and education policy has been setting the stage for this.

There's an EO trying to push through security clearances, too.

None of it is biologically accurate, so it can pretty much be used to overturn itself. Just by the way its written, it already validates that sex and gender are different even though the opposite is intended.

I hope the states' rights argument gets used against them for this.

Some of those are written in Trump's hyperbolic style. Others clearly have someone else writing them. Who else is writing them? Trump is too old and unhealthy to make it a full term, but who is in the shadows when Vance takes over?

Maximum streeeeeeeeeetch. Yes, he is that long. He's clearly feeling warm and safe with his human home. His human just got home from Maui in time for this latest winter storm, so he's trying to keep me warm enough not to run away again.

Xi Jinping will be attending the inauguration. I wonder how much the CCP paid to reinstate Tik Tok?

First day of staycation. Glad I'm not attempting travel, because white fluffy stuff happened. Clearing space for Black Friday beer hunting (not a typo).

Unseasonably warm weather and the crocuses are blooming. It's going to be freezing again by tomorrow.

Bradlees came after Two Guys and before Caldor.

Two cats on a bed with a brown blanket. A large, dark gray tabby with medium length coat is lying in the "little spoon" position next to a slightly smaller, black, short hair cat in the "big spoon" position.

Who's the big spoon and who's the little spoon? Brotherly love.
