kind of a weird dynamic, since trump absolutely doesn't care even a little what people say about charlie kirk.

trump hates being criticized on tv and wants to shut up comedians who put him in their monologue. 1

listen

the world is a mess

but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead

this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think

Oh cool, thanks!

Another gross, ghoulishly timed

Trump administration cuts specialized suicide prevention service for LGBTQ+ youth The 988 Suicide and Crisis Prevention Lifeline included a service that provided specialized suicide prevention support by phone and text for LGBTQ+ kids. That's ending.

The Meta AI App Lets You ‘Discover’ People’s Bizarrely Personal Chats Launched in April, the Meta AI platform offers a “discover” feed that includes user queries containing medical, legal, and other seemingly sensitive information.

Many seemingly personal conversations can be publicly viewed on a “discover” tab in Meta AI, a chatbot platform that doubles as a social feed, including some conversations containing sensitive information tied to user names and profile photos.

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

You don’t need to prove to strangers on the internet that you have correct politics. And the people demanding you prove it might be Feds trying to get you to say something that you will regret saying later.

A black t-shirt that says "CASUAL GOTH" very casually, in a casually goth typeface. Because you're goth but also, like, you're busy, and tired.

For World Goth Day, I made a new black t-shirt that lets you know that I am goth at heart, but I'm also busy, and tired, and this is the most effort you can realistically expect me to put into it.

Just $13 today along with all my other casual-goth tees: robsheridan.threadless.com/collections/...

It's funny but I disliked Renate Reinsve's character so much in A Different Man I was legit angry she and Sebastian were in another movie together for a moment 😅
But just a moment, of course 😄
This sounds interesting, though I feel like I'll need to be in the right mood to watch it.

Big shout out to my followers who have never liked a single post of mine ever. Respect

Plus, FEMA is paid for with tax money. If a tornado hits my house and I need help while waiting for insurance to half ass their payments/help, then I expect the tax money I've been paying to come home to roost in some manner.

A Tornado Might Destroy Your Town. The Federal Government Might Never Show Up. Thousands are facing extreme weather, with no help on the way.

The frustrating thing is how many people will say "well, we just take care of our own around here anyway". Yeah, except for the people that *don't* get taken care of! So many slip between the cracks because they don't have family, friends, or a church.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

Trump orders end to federal funding for NPR and PBS In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.

Those who can, shld donate like crazy. It’s a very visible form of resistance.

Great idea! First order of business: Have one of those kids teach the President what the Declaration of Independence is. Maybe they could help him trace the shape of the letters and sound out the words with him, too.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.
