Unfortunately graduating from medical school is no guarantee against woo woo purveyance. A good memorizer can get through a pre-med curriculum and there is little likelihood they will take a philosophy of science course.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

On September 30, 2000, an image of a bloodied “palestinian” teenager crouching in front of a club-wielding Israeli policeman made front page headlines in the Associated Press, New York Times, and other major media outlets. 1/8

I had Black or brown bosses for all the years I was a teacher and majority white coworkers. Boy, talk about an instant way to spot a racist no matter how much they tried to cover it up in other ways.

-cease and desist
-null and void
-aid and abet
-free and clear
-ways and means

Why is law stuff like this always two words?

These are called ‘legal doublets’ and we can once again blame the Normans.

I think it's the only thing that will work. Reasoning doesn't work. I used to try to reason with racists and got nowhere. They're boneheads. Nothing penetrates those thick skulls, but shaming might. Their moral reasoning is on the level of punishment and reward.

I will never forgive the showrunner for killing off Cassie. It was so unnecessary.

But all they learned was beware of people wearing jackboots and speaking German.

Go ahead. Elect the Trojan Horse. I don't care any more. I'm all out of fucks to give.

"As a white leftist, I need you all to know that for a good number of white leftists, the idea of suffering is purely academic. They know, even if they don’t acknowledge it, that their privilege insulates them from harm. This allows them to treat the suffering of others like a thought experiment. Why are they so obsessed with finding the “perfect candidate”? Simply because they can be. They will not be the ones to suffer if an imperfect one loses. So whether *others suffer becomes a game to them"

These posts from @andr3wsky.bsky.social on threads (I checked to see if he also posted here but he didn't) were actually hard to read, because Black folks have said this *so* often and been argued *down* about it, reading someone say it as a 💡 feels damn near insulting. But maybe ppl will listen

It won't only affect people who get their health insurance through ACA. I have traditional Medicare (no supplemental) and my part D provider just notified me they are doubling my premium in 2026.

Let's be clear here.

Good, Jimmy Kimmel is back, now y'all can go back to your Disney World experience.

However, let's not ignore the fact that countless minorities have been forced out of MSM, and their departure was met with silence or hostility.

The industry is starved w/ of minority...

Tomorrow he’ll say something else. We need a “grain of salt” emoji.

Surprise… Surprise… Surprise…

Aetna has already doubled my part D premium for 2026.

It's actually rather flattering. The features are an appropriate size for the face.

They did. Came home one night to music playing from the radio/cassette player. I was totally freaked out, but door locked, nothing missing or disturbed. The whole house was "clear". I finally figured out my cat had turned it on.

Someone put a sticker on the bar of the cart corral at my local supermarket. A picture of trump and Epstein and the caption: Every day another beautiful little secret.

I don't even have healthcare through ACA. I have traditional Medicare. I just got a letter from my part D provider and they are doubling my premium in 2026. And they don't even pay out anything. I never meet my deductible. 😡

It is an enormous mistake to think people only defend the rich because they think one day they might be rich. Conservative women don't defend the patriarchy because they think one day they will be men. They do so because they believe in a natural hierarchy. People defend the rich because they believe in a society of masters and servants. That's it. Look at the Elon Musk fanboys. They don't want to be in charge themselves, they want Elon Musk to be in charge and they want to serve him. So they invent all sorts of mythology around him to justify his natural superiority and position. They want a kind of feudalism.

He makes a valid point here:

People who do this don't care about fact checking. They won't learn a lesson and be more careful next time. They only care about being the first one to spread some "news".

Ezra Klein doesn't have a clue what people are like in Missouri and Kansas,
