Anyone ever notice the movie ZAPPED! is just a gender flipped, teen sex comedy version of CARRIE? (And obviously inferior to the @stephenking.bsky.social classic!)

The amount of disinformation coming out of the Right "News" media is staggering. The pickup of the MAGA echo chamber is mind-boggling. Have we ever dealt with anything like this?

A simile is like a metaphor but a metaphor is analogous to a simile.

Of all the things that can cut you, I think paper is the biggest betrayal.

It doesn't matter how old or respectable I get, when I walk out of a store without buying anything there is a tiny part of me that expects to get stopped by security.

Physicians go through years of school, residency, and certifications to achieve the competency to make powerful decisions about our health.

Insurance Companies: Naw man, Hal in Accounting said that procedure is unnecessary so we aren't paying for it.

OK.

Let's see what you got, 2025.

Imagining a world in which right wing pundits did “no angel” speeches about this guy the same way they did George Floyd. I know why they don’t and never will, and pointing out hypocrisy is pointless. But I’m still going to *imagine* it.
Why didn’t this circulate? Or do we only crime shame black and brown victims?

Some days I am really optimistic about the future of mankind.

Other days I'm sober.

Trump (Musk) doesn't want Congress to spend money on disaster relief (helping NC or other areas hit by storms) or on farmers (preventing the collapse of some) while at the same time making sure there's a debt ceiling increase for more deficit spending. I wonder why? (Hint: Tax cuts for the rich)

The public's reaction to Luigi Mangione’s case is evidence of how our healthcare system is failing us.

I wash my dog's water and food bowls every morning while I'll drink out of the same water glass for like a week. #priorities

This is also why I love Bluesky! The default is just the raw feed of who I follow - I create or adopt a custom feed from there and can switch back and forth so easy! #Bluesky

If you venture out today, give yourself time. Let someone in front of you. Hold the door. Enjoy the rush of humanity around you. Remember that everyone is operating the best way they know how.

How to be rich in the USA:

Step 1) Be rich.

Step 2) Convince the poor and middle class to vote Republican.

The rest will take care of itself.
