Baby is going to be 3 months old tomorrow. I keep hearing that he should be coup-ing, but he seems awfully young to overthrow the government.
I think it makes more sense to focus on more achievable things like making various baby noises

“One of the more deranged people in the Trump admin” turned out to be an understatement
Ingrassia really does not get enough attention as one of the more deranged people in the Trump admin. Citing “constitutional scholar” John Eastman’s nonsense in 2024!

People with epilepsy/strokes/dementia are not at some especially elevated risk of meningitis/encephalitis, and if they come in looking sick/encephalopathic, that probably shouldn’t be your first thought
Basically any infection can make those things worse. Doesn’t need to be in the head

One of the vanishingly few positive initiatives taken by the current admin is trying to make IVF drugs more affordable, and they just can’t help talking about it in the creepiest way imaginable 🤦🏻♂️

Having two guys hold up a shade on the sideline to keep guys cool is the NFL version of having the med student hold the retractor in the OR

One of the many annoying things about the recent Tylenol stuff is that there actually ARE significant health issues related to poor public awareness of acetaminophen’s potential adverse effects (severe liver toxicity in overdose), and INSTEAD of that, we’re talking about nonsense regarding autism

Bruce, one of the cats my friend fostered, is apparently very sick and the family that adopted him can’t afford the testing he needs (~$2000). He’s not even a year and a half old yet. The rescue he was adopted from is trying to help, but any donations to them would help

Mahomes running is one of like 2 offensive threats KC has right now, and every time, the defense seems like they never considered the possibility he could run 🤦🏻♂️
