Teacher. Likes to read. Mostly Harmless.
I am so glad somebody in Congress finally said this. Dr Oz, RFKjr, Hegseth, Pirro, they're all jokes. They should never have been nominated, and never have been confirmed. The GOP-run senate rubber-stamped them because they don't care what happens to the country or its citizens.
Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

The symbolism of Trump standing there completely uninterested after someone collapsed in his office perfectly captures his attitude toward the American people, and really toward anyone except himself.

Some of my relatives were 'Florida snowbirds': people who live up north and go south for the winter. This headline suggests that the Daily Fail has not yet learned that the USA has winter. Maybe someone who works there will one day learn about such advanced concepts. #DailyMail #Mamdani #newyork

In 20 years, nobody will admit they supported this, not even the people who voted for it and are completely silent about it right now: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Why don't dishwashers have windows on the front like washing machines and ovens do?

Q: What do you have if there are ten people at dinner and one is an unapologetic Nazi?
A: Ten Nazis.

The symbolism of Trump having machines tear apart the White House feels almost too on the nose. #WhiteHouse

If you let the system treat any humans as subhuman, it will treat all humans as subhuman.

_Becoming Superman_ by @straczynski.bsky.social An autobiography which is by turns frightening, infuriating, sad, and inspiring. Reminds me of Mark Twain: 'Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.' 100% worth the read.

_Citizen Kane_ includes a reminiscence about seeing someone: 'A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl.'

Who or what is that for you?

No idea where this came from, but yeah, considered from this perspective, autism causes all kinds of good things for everybody.

Something that occurred to me watching Jimmy Kimmel's monologue from last night was that none of Trump's 'achievements' are going to last any better than him crowing about getting #Kimmel off the air.

This batch of Fruity Oaty Bars came out really well. After eating one, I felt like I could put 20 people in the hospital. But my wife was all 'этo курам на смех' and then I had a nap instead. #firefly #serenity #FruityOatyBar #BigDamnHeroes

Now they say acetaminophen causes autism. It's like they're actively trying to make up the stupidest things they can think of just to see whether anyone will call them on their nonsense. My best guess is that this is part of a stock manipulation scheme whereby they'll make millions of dollars.

_Light Years From Home_, by @mikechenwriter.bsky.social . A young man vanishes; his family has changed while he was gone. Chapters from his POV include aliens; those from one sister's POV include him being schizophrenic; the third sibling goes back and forth. I liked it. @harpercollins.bsky.social

Every day when I go to work. It doesn't help that every time there's a school shooting, some useless politician says trite garbage like this: 'Today is not the day for politics or policy.' When, in their minds, will that day ever come?

For suicide prevention month, a reminder that most people who survive a suicide attempt never try again. Here's a poem Alison Tafel wrote about that phenomenon for _BoJack Horseman_.
