Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles.

And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.
::taps mic::

beyond being an absolutely miserable illness, measles can cause immune amnesia. It wipes out your immune systems memory of how to fight every infection, every vaccine you've ever had.

A measles outbreak is growing in a rural area of West Texas where vaccination rates are well below the recommended level.

That a sitting president would participate in a ceremonial event that is culturally relevant for millions and brings over $1B of revenue to the host state is normal, and your snobbish take is irrelevant.

It's the EVERYTHING ELSE is what makes the whole thing bizarre.

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

Ezra Klein either facilitates one's shift from conservativism or gives people whos egos need them to think they're liberal the permission to remain unchecked they're looking for.

Based on first hand and purely anecdotal evidence, the venn diagram overlaps a LOT.
Ezra Klein is not a fucking liberal, he’s an apologist who grifts on white liberals who don’t wish their bullshit to be confronted.

The inccomparable Catherine OHara has passed.
The filmography is seemingly endless, how fortunate we are to live while she did, to experience the with her in it.

This acceptance speech for her role in Schitt's Creek showed how she has always been a very funny ally to all.

Hey, ticketdisaster, I know you love to hold a monopoly but if you could get your shit together and stop requiring 3 separate apps to buy one concert ticket, that would go a long way in repairing how much people f****** hate you.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

Ignore the New York Times. Trump is *pretending* to "change course" in Minneapolis as a ruse. Little has changed on the streets. Trump is just feigning a change in tack to placate Congress members calling for hearings and to wait out the horrible PR nightmare ICE has created for the White House.

What I think is interesting is that, for generations, 2A hardliners have insisted they should be able to bring their guns anywhere in any fashion they choose, yet one liberal shows up with a licensed firearm and suddenly, all of their minds have changed.

Never doubt the power we hold.

Anytime some recruiter sends me a job listing for half my current salary to do entry level work I kinda wanna find their boss to ask if they agree its an appropriate role to send me as a cold call.

I would NEVER do it bc im not that brand of asshole but the daydreams are ever front of mind.

I say this as a student of history for a shockingly long time, the number of competent fascists is zero.

There’s never a grand conspiracy, never some shadowy person controlling everything, they get by on dumb luck, craven opportunists, and people who should know better saying not to overreact.

my guy was back out there doin Good Work with a broken rib from his previous encounter.
name a fucking high school after him.
CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

In this sink are the last remnants of the last time I had my hair colored.

After 32yrs of dying my hair, all done.

Whatever color my hair has going forward is whatever color it grows out of my head.
