Went to urgent care for lowkey infected ear piercing. He gave me an ointment and an oral antibiotic but did not actually look at my ears?!

I just took what I'm pretty sure is ibuprofen from a mystery plastic baggie of pills I've had floating around, so that's fun!

So, the folks detained at Whipple are largely being released. Their phones, wallets, and often their winter clothes are confiscated. They are dumped out the front gate with nothing.

Haven Watch is standing there and welcomes them back.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance
The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

My child with industrial-grade, free-access-to-benzos anxiety got the "everybody feels worried sometimes" talk from her pediatrician

So did the kid with OCD
When my late wife, Colette, first went to see a doctor about her mental health, telling him that she felt sad all the time, the doctor did this. I kid you not.

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.

And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.

Don't submit to this one, folks.

One awesome thing about being an indie writer: pretty much every person I've encountered who does it has learned a ton from other indies who've generously shared their knowledge and support, and wants to pay it forward.
With the awful WaPo layoffs and the state of journalism more broadly, if it's useful for any writers and reporters considering going indy, @molly.wiki, @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social of Aftermath, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social of 404 Media, @edzitron.com and me will do a little workshop next week.

Some history from a historian.
Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

There's a replica you can see in the MN Capitol (a replica, because Minnesota is smart enough to know not to have it out where some idiot might steal it).
I am not native to Minnesota, but it amuses me all to hell (and I agree with my friends and neighbors) that it is ours to keep.
Every time I remember the 28th Virginia Battle flag I feel compelled to remind non-Minnesotans about it.

Captured by MN troops at Gettysburg. Virginia has asked for it back MANY times, and all governors (of all parties) have refused and told them to fuck off.
