What you can do about it? Embrace your wisdom hairs.
The going-gray process happens at different speeds for different people, but most of us start to notice increasing gray hair sometime in our 30s or 40s, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

Here’s what you should know:
Here’s why your hair turns gray, and what you can do about it
Genetics and age shape hair graying, but you may have some control over it, too.

Absolutely this.
Following the Denmark childhood vaccination policy would be a great idea — if you also followed the rest of Denmark's social service policies and practice.

A healthy democracy depends on a healthy society.

Holy shit.

Today's boo sheet.
BREAKING: Days after Trump called for the execution of a group of Democratic lawmakers, the Department of War now says it’s investigating Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a decorated Navy veteran, for “serious allegations of misconduct.”

Boo sheet of the week.
The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.

And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

Says the guy who used to be a Democrat. Do go on, sir.
Trump on if he'll sign an Epstein files release bill: "We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, Clinton... all I want is I want for people to recognize the great job I've done on pricing, on affordability."

It seems to me there is a bunch of pent up demand to get out and vote against the GOP. We've had enough of the nonsense.

I just can't with his ignorance over asylum seekers. Is this why we're destroying boats or is it based on some other misunderstanding he has?
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

All of this.
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Does the renovated bunker with gold filigree, probably, count?
Just curious, how many units of housing are going to be in this ballroom?
I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

Forget the postmark in North Carolina. As of a relatively recent law, the absentee ballot needs to arrive at the county board of election office no later than election day.

This is not reassuring.
One factory was contaminated with pigeon feces. At another, pathogens got into purified water used to produce drugs.

But when the FDA cites an errant factory, it conceals an important piece of information: the names of drugs made there.

The agency’s decision to conceal drug names on inspection reports has prevented doctors, pharmacists and patients from knowing whether medications made overseas are tainted by manufacturing failures t...

Is arc or ark the code name for the bunker below the ballroom?
He’s building Noah’s Arc? bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump says his ballroom might cost more than $300 million but adds, "you know we're building the arc. Maybe we use it for the arc. We raised a lot of money for the ballroom, so maybe we'll put -- the arc is going to be incredible for Washington DC, so maybe we use it for the arc."

Yep
North Carolina’s GOP just enacted a new congressional gerrymander to win an 11-3 GOP majority in a swing state by targeting Black Dem Don Davis.

They already gerrymandered a 10-4 edge in 2024 by replacing a fairer map that split 7-7 in 2022.

At our local protest the same woman in her car circled our gathering twice and flipped us off. The second time she came to a complete stop and flipped with extra emphasis. Totally "normal, well-adjusted, and sane." #NoKings

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.
