Sarcasm is my primary language. Gen Xer, History Nerd, Trivia Geek, Mother, Wife, Auntie, Sussex supporter. I'm open-minded and outspoken.

I could say I'm stunned, but that would lying.

Yes. My 8 year old niece wants more independence. ie not having mom/dad stand over her to make sure she she brushes her teeth before bed. The Bluetooth app tracks the usage & brush time.
She feels more independent, her parents don't worry as much about dental problems.

It's a win-win situation.

Many hygiene & healthcare products use Bluetooth, and that's a good thing.

Bluetooth, often combined with an app, can track & export important information directly to my doctor when needed. My BP cuff & pulse oximeter do this.

I'm convinced he's responsible for the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.

This pic shows the three stages of MAGA women. Normal, phase 1, and full-blown mar-a-lago.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyerβ€”and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.

Which is exactly what the GOP intended with their decades long sustained campaign against public education in general and teacher's unions in particular.

My oldest lives in a different state, but he was visiting last week. He purposely went into Target, walked around, and purchased nothing to "mess with their conversion rate."

How to Save a Democracy Americans can learn from opponents of authoritarianism elsewhere.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

He said he was going to make things cheaper and now he’s saying β€œI couldn’t care less if they raise prices.”

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
