Much goes back to Reagan, that fucker. See also, letting media monopolies go wild. Now half the country only gets the news Trump wants them to hear.
Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

For my birthday, I got my flu and COVID vaccines. Thank you, science, for all my birthdays.

I saw a production of Sound of Music on Sunday. I felt like standing up and shouting, “I hope you people are paying attention!” Every day is a good day to shred a Nazi flag.
This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

AKA listening to the advice of anyone in this administration is potentially harmful and/or deadly. Especially RFK Jr who seems to enjoy it.
This will go 1 of 2 ways : she knew the risks and gave it to her family anyway or she didn't know the risk and now the entire industry will need to admit drinking unpasteurized milk is, in fact, dangerous.
A woman who was 20 weeks pregnant fed her toddler son raw milk. He contracted Campylobacter and then passed the infection to her; she progressed to sepsis, and had a miscarriage.
She is suing the business that sells the raw milk, saying she didn’t know the risk.
Don’t feed your kids raw milk.

If today’s New York Times editors had been working in London in 1888, they would’ve said Jack the Ripper was “testing societal norms“ and “straining the bounds of propriety.”

Got the bandages off my finger. It looks like it’s been chewed by badgers, but it will heal. The nail should grow back out by the fall. I’m grateful!

RFKJr’s entire family is spinning in their graves, except Joe who was also a piece of shit.

ICE and FBI agents have apparently been just waiting for their chance to be the new brownshirts.
If I was an FBI agent ordered to arrest a judge because the President didn't care for her rulings, I'd turn in my badge and resign. These people have a choice. As did the Nazi war criminals who testified at Nuremberg that they were just following orders.

Got my ortho check up on my mangled finger this week. Everything looks good. Once the sutures dissolve, I’ll just have to wait for my nail to grow back out.

Well, I got ready for the weekend by catching my finger in a hedgetrimmer. Happily, I didn’t lose any pieces but I got pretty mangled. As a public service I will not post photos. (Should be all better in a couple of months.)

After decades of readership, I’ve finally unsubbed the Washington Post and the NY Times. (Long overdue.) Any recommendations for actual news reporting?

Oh look, it’s a baby bunny pic I saved from the internet because I knew I’d need to see it again someday.

The only things getting me through these foreboding Pre-Inauguration-of-Caligula days are family, friends, those amazing photos of the universe’s nebulas & stories of people in LA helping each other. ❤️
