When I read β€œThe Trump admin” my mind’s eye immediately sees SCOTUS.

I wish we were all strong enough to say, β€œFuck you, GOP! Do your worstβ€”I can outlast you; I can beat you; I can survive; because I’m stronger than your cadre of fake warriors.” But, alasβ€”our tribe includes the vulnerable 😣

Thank you for that "whom," a word that seems to be a candidate for the endangered species list.

Dear Walmart,

Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company β€” instead of simply having a β€˜cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST…

β€” America

I disagree. Taking money from an entity to allow it to recruit customers or otherwise advance its mission... DOES. JUST. THAT: Advances the mission.

Not to mention that chairman/CEO Daniel Ek funnels lots of money into AI-controlled military drones via his other company: Helsing.

You know how the existence of cars and power tools makes it necessary to have β€œexercise” and β€œmanual crafts” as a deliberately chosen part of a balanced life?

We’re probably going to need something like that cognitively, for adults.

What we have to remember is WE'RE the majority in America. Freedom loving, compassionate, law abiding, patriots who want the best for everyone. They're just louder & have managed to gain control of most of the major information spaces. All we have to do is show up & take our power back.

Democrats won across the board and across the country! From city halls to state houses, the people spoke.

This wasn’t luck. It was organizing, grit, and belief in each other. 🐝

Tonight’s celebrations are well earned. Tomorrow, the work continues.

"Before we started, she mentioned that there were some things she couldn’t discuss because it’s an ongoing legal case. That’s normal. I’ve heard that line hundreds of times. She could have easily said, 'I can’t get into the details, but here’s what I can say'.”

I heard her say that multiple times.

Are we going to trick-or-treat tomorrow at French Hill's house (7 Cantrell Road)?

Wow. I am taking your side until I learn more about it. Sorry if that didn't come across.

You seem to be saying that she actually wanted to bankrupt people and tear apart families. Is that your claim? What was her motivation, callous classism?

That sounds terrible. I’m sincerely sorry for any misery that befell you. Her actions as a prosecutor were often misguided and difficult to defend (or even understand).

I suppose most current Americans are privileged compared to the poor blokes who inhabited the Earth for 99.95% of human history.

Is it possible that β€œwe” (the societal gestalt) has made it too easy for them? If your very survival doesn’t depend on situational awareness, you get complacent… lazy. Right?

Marilyn Manson told us in Bowling_for_Columbine: the media advertise violence because their advertisers know that anxiety moves cars, mattresses, jewelry, and all manner of widgets.

Those (former) SNAP recipients should be trick-or-treating at their Congress-person’s house Friday night. And they should demand more than a piece of candy!

I think everyone on SNAP should be trick-or-treating at their Congress-person’s house this Friday night. (After all, they’re all home on recess.) And they should ask for more than a piece of candy.

Apolipoprotein E4 inhibits autophagy gene products through direct, specific binding to CLEAR motifs - PubMed ApoE4-CLEAR interactions may account for suppressed autophagy in APOE Ι›4/Ι›4 carriers and, in this way, contribute to earlier AD onset.

This lends additional credence to the hypothesis that another prominent fat-related protein, apolipoprotein E, works as a transcription factor too.

You mean during his first term? Because this was September 2024.

Sometime during the Biden administration, evidently. This is from September 2024.
