Cartoon of RFK Jr sitting at an empty desk with a nameplate that says "R. F. Kennedy Jr", a glass of water labeled "Crick Water", and green brain worms coming out of his ears and saying "I removed all 17 members of CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee... ...because I'm already listening to those in my Ears!"

"Inconceivable!"

This is a direct quote from Candace Owens, who said history would remember Blake Lively as the headline girl bossed too close to the sun

The old white nepo baby is the head of what is harming them, not the only person harming them.

Impeachment is toothless without conviction from the senate.

Far worse to have the military deployed against the population.

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change? Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

Today at NorCon I met one of the Oslo museum curators.

ME: I am afraid I may have poked a little fun at your museum. But it was with love! I swear!
HIM: (eyes narrowing) The thread about all the shite?
ME: (meekly) …yes.
HIM: Oh, we all loved it!

technically, a banana is a berry too. evolution is weird.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

my eight-month-old son won't drive a car. i set him in the driver's seat, buckle him in, even put the key in the ignition for him, and he just sits there and smiles at me. i'm at my wit's end

This is one of my favorite dynamics enabled by Ranked Choice: that you can build a coalition with people you mostly agree with whose message is "maybe them, maybe me... but definitely not that fucking guy"

I just learned from a podcast that the last morning on the Titanic, Captain Smith decided to cancel a lifeboat drill in order to have an extra-long church service instead.

And fam that is kind of similar to what it’s like to be a scientist under the rule of RFK Jr.

Yeah this had me on the edge of my seat.

what a week.

imagine being so shitty that you've got bluesky out here having to decide if we support* Gavin Newsom and the Catholic Church now.

* this is a joke I'm tired we're all tired don't be obtuse about it

you'd think you could, but so many churches only have electric candles now. pressing a button doesn't have the same feel (or smell)

Restaurant sign "Pho Gyu." As the G is pronounced G/K, it is pronounced Fu Kyu

How did they get away with this name? I almost crashed my car as my jaw dropped. we promptly changed our plans and came here for lunchof course

Yet another reason I don't eat or drink water.

Me: I should drink water.
*bird flies by the window*
Also me: I wonder how many birds live in that tree, and if they are scared because I never close my blinds?
*two hours later*
Me again: Wasn't I getting water? Food?
*random thing causes repeat*

Vaccines are rigorously tested, they are effective, and they save lives. More than 150 million lives have been saved in the past 50 years thanks to vaccines!

But you may be worried about what's in them?
So, let’s break it down ⬇

A pregnant friend in Switzerland lost her twins to covid in her 8th month. Tell me again how pregnant women shouldn't be advised to get vaccinated in the US.

This is so fucking good

Federal agents make warrantless arrests. Masked agents take people into custody without identifying themselves. Plainclothes agents in at least a dozen cities have arrested migrants who showed up to their court hearings. And across the U.S., people suspected of being in the country illegally are disappearing into the federal detention system without notice to families or lawyers, according to attorneys, witnesses and officials. In Coral Springs, Fla., at least eight agents in tactical gear, shields and rifles surrounded a home with guns raised to arrest a father with no criminal history. In Irvine, Calif., ICE agents drove a phalanx of military vehicles in the Orange County suburb to arrest a person, though not for illegal immigration. They were seeking a resident’s son who had allegedly posted fliers alerting neighbors to the presence of ICE agents.

Masked agents making warrantless arrests with a “do what you need to do” mandate.

“I’m one of the good guys keeping America safe,” I tell myself as I try to kidnap a six-year-old girl from an elementary school.

NPR, you pulled out the least horrifying bit to highlight. Is the money truly more important than the 23 hours of solitary for kids?
