My Necessary Explanation

I’m sitting at a table on the Fox 32 debate stage holding my hand high in the air. My opponents, Daniel Biss and Laura Fine, are talking to each other. The chyron reads, “SUPPORT FOR PALESTINE”

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

They’ve got the second-tier, lower-polling candidates off to the side in chairs too tall for any of their feet to reach the floor. Like children

Watching a fucking debate between fucking political candidates. On the fucking tv

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

None of these words are in the bible mead..

Hi Cup

among my favorite French Revolution details: the King's cousin, the Duke of Orleans, was so shook by the events of the revolution that he not only voted to execute his cousin but legally changed his name to Equality Phil.

If you can’t draw the line at genocide, then how can voters trust you to draw the line anywhere?

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Yeah we get a lot of nort at osco lol

I’m a pharmacy tech, our ordering system is largely automated and what we get depends on availability and like contracts between the drug companies and our wholesaler and idek cuz i don’t deal with it directly. But generally we can special-order for patients with an ndc preference

It’s unlikely any of your meds are brand-name unless you’re on something new enough that there’s no generic available yet. Brand-name klonopin looks like this lol. The teva one’s a generic. You would want to contact your pharmacy about this, not your prescribers

On the osco label you can probably see at least part of the generic manufacturer name next to the drug name (often it’s cut off, this one’s northstar). And if you look up the ndc (bottom right) you should be able to find more info

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

CHICAGOANS!!!!

Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options.

You know what to do (vote): chicagoshovels.org

‘The people are being charged with keeping the peace, asked to stand firm against the federal agents who are disrupting it. This is a sick form of double taxation — your paycheck gets docked so that a guy in a mask can beat you up while you try to calm him down.’

The so called ‘war on terror’ was actually itself a campaign to terrorize people at home and abroad. ICE was a product of that, which is clarifying.

Gts

i've seen enough: greg bovino is a bitch.

Awesome

I think the key point is that when ice/cbp’s focus was on chicago, the administration absolutely did say the same type of stuff about the resistance chicagoans put up against it. Noem’s being utterly dishonest here

Just Minnesota things: a man in a fur hat with a guitar just walked up and asked what's going on/why people are protesting.

"I don't have a cell phone," he told us. "I live in the woods."
