Oh wow, that’s a LOT. Please take care of yourself❤️

Republicans are really nostalgic for the mileage they got out of ginned up Janet Jackson outrage.

Many burns alleged to be from CS gas turn out to be actual thermal burns (2nd degree, with blistering at times) from getting too close to the grenade. This is one reason why I tell people to never try to pick them up.

I think the “I hated the half time show because I couldn’t understand the lyrics” complaints are so funny coming from anyone who ever listened to alternative music in the 90s

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

I’m getting married! Want to honor us? Here are some great charities you can donate to. Some, as they say, personal news: I’m getting married! I’d love to use this happy occassion to spread good news around. To that end, if you’re so inclined to make a donation &#822…

Ok friends, final push:

We got married, and it was wonderful!

I'd like to spread the good news around to some wonderful science, conservation, and education charities I love.

i just saw someone say "Kid Rock makes music for the people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody" and hol up i need a minute

I dunno what was going on during the Super Bowl, but Peacock laid the captions over Lady Gaga's face, and I had to ID her by her arm tats like I was IDing a body on a CSI episode.

Surely kid rock would have just handed him his meth pipe

A longtime friend of mine passed away last Thursday. I used to work with him and he had some challenges over the years and I tried to help him as much as I can. I don't know exactly what happened for sure but if you have depression please try to get treatment for it and I wish everyone the best.

“Holding your breath and praying is not going to help.”

The entire framing of "x candidate must EARN my vote" is invalid.
These elections are not just about YOU and YOUR vote or who is pure enough to "earn" your blessing.
It is about the BALANCE OF POWER.
You either vote blue or trump and his regime get all the power.
SIMPLE math.
Get it straight.

As a surprise to no one....removing health care for vulnerable children increases suicide risk. We have been saying this for years.

About to make my budding screenwriter kid watch Fallen.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Exclusive | Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

A whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard is so classified that the lawyer of the whistleblower hasn't been allowed to look at the complaint itself. Neither has Congress. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Lupita Nyongo is a solid choice for Helen of Troy just on the basis of “being beautiful in such a way that it feels unsettling to be able to look at her directly”

I've never been a Rand Paul fan. His opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act has bothered me for years. I don't know what his objectives are with bringing Noem before his committee to testify, but if he isn't prepared to call that heifer a liar to her face he needn't bother.

Because minors cannot, under normal circumstances, engage in legal proceedings in their own right; and in many states, children don't automatically become emancipated by marriage -- their legal guardianship just transfers from their parents to their spouse. (This is EXACTLY AS GROSS AS IT SOUNDS)

Smh now, little Timmy is autistic with the damn measles.
