Real talk: can we sue employers over weight loss incentive programs? Because weight has genetic and emotional and disability components and weight loss incentive programs are definitely discrimination.

fat and thin people need food. chosen food, tasty food, food nutritious for your particular body, food of plenty.
a dearth of food does not always cause weight loss.

No, you carried your 112lb Rottweiler into the ER this morning and wondered if you'd be bringing him back home.
We did. He's doing so much better. He's on a lot of meds and bed rest. But WOW this week has been a lot.

A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.
For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

Updates: he's so sweet and lovely and he was surrendered because he was too big and too Rottie and the last time, too old.
He's living his soft life on a memory foam bed and with physical therapy and a lot of expensive medicines.

We just adopted a senior dog who had been surrendered to BARCs multiple times due to housing issues.
He's such a sweetie and such a good boy and I'm so grateful he's ours.

Violet Affleck is to the Covid movement what Greta Thunberg is to climate. Both represent the next generation, are articulate, focused, & grounded in science. That scares people. And there's a gendered aspect to all the vitriol they face

IF and I cannot emphasize this enough IF the trans domestic terrorism classification stuff is both real inside the FBI AND gets implemented it's not going to be used to just round of trans people en mass it's going to be used when they arrest people they were already
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

i guess not I'm surprised that Ken Jennings is really good here, i just wouldn't have predicted the host of Jeopardy being a voice of moral courage on this specific issue.
This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

I explained to my spouse the "hallucinations" I get when I stay awake after taking an edible and apparently those are called thoughts and y'all are all having them ALL THE TIME.
