Evidently, Vicks has decided that "quil" is so recognizable that all of their products will now end with it.
NyQuil, DayQuil, ZzzQuil, and now PainQuil.
Prediction: laxative called "PoopQuil" to be introduced soon.

"Slime mold is cleverer than you may think"

OK.
But I'm tired of all these articles about #StephenMiller.

Bit of an odd one, to me.

I was watching yet another commercial in which someone complained about feeling "sluggish", and it made figure that snails must figure they got lucky compared to their shell-less brethren, in that constipated human beings never describe themselves as feeling "snailish".

Under #Trump, our Nation has gone from "Never Again" to "As Soon As Possible"
February 11, 2026 at 8:47 PM
Our nation is on a precipice, teetering on the brink of its existence; not its name -we'll always be "The United States", but what we are, what we were conceived to be, is close to extinction.
And weight of human garbage like #Trump, #Patel, #Bondi, #Vance, #Miller are tipping us over.

Holy Christ #PamBondi is an utterly incompetent fucking asshole.

"Lutnick Acknowledges Traveling to Epstein’s Island"

Lutnick says his wife and kids were there with him.

ffs, your *kids* were with you when you met with #Epstein?

That makes it better?
What an asshole.

"New research reveals humans could have as many as 33 senses"

Which is pretty cool, except it's going to sound really clumsy to have to say someone who is psychic "has a 34th sense"

It's difficult to adequately characterize how compeletly unimaginative, tedious, and unfunny it is to use the "wheezing breathless laugh" audio track on your YouTube Shorts.

The truth is, Shingles *does* care, but Shingles feels as though it has tried to help in past, and you were cold and resentful when you told it mind its own business, and now it has just gotten too complicated, and that maybe you'd be happier with other diseases.
