I got my shirt the other day too. When ppl originally started asking where their orders were, it seemed like you had to complain to get yours shipped. And I'm not a complainer usually. So I picked "wait and see" as my coping method, and sure enough, it finally came.
#uglydogs I guess I should pay better attention to my on line orders but look what showed up in the mail Today!

I'm ready for The Life of a Showgirl. We got glittery cupcakes, but I'm dressed comfortably and under my TTPD blanket i got as a gift because this new album still needs to prove herself to me before I'm ready to move forward from TTPD.

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.
Pregnant women - Tylenol is safe.

tbh if you know a teenager (any teenager, no matter who they are or how well you think they're doing) please go and tell them that you think they're great and you like them. you don't need to elaborate. just say it. they'll be awkward and uncomfortable about it. but they'll remember it forever

We can expect more of this (one student objecting to the content on the basis that it’s illegal because it violates a presidential executive order, another filming, admin sanctioning the professor and supportive admins because of pressure from political officials). A dangerous time for free inquiry.
Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...
A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum
The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

I'm not sure if this ended up being a labor of love or a boondoggle, to be honest. I spent a long time trying to learn about hot streaks but mostly ended up learning about statistical dead ends, pitfalls, and the importance of asking questions precisely:

The Enigma: My Journey Through Statistical Artifacts in Pursuit of Hot Streaks
I dove into the world of batter streaks, trying to predict which hitters were likely to have extreme swings in performance. In the end, the journey was more fascinating than the conclusion.

I’ve begun describing A.I. as an admin assistant with 3 PhDs who smokes in the office and is also on a PIP for lying all the time. In the beginning it’s amusing how much they seem to know but it doesn’t take long to grow tired of their bullshit and hold up turns out they stole all their PhDs!?!

This is the drug that is a 100% effective treatment for HIV. this is the one you've been seeing in the news. I would LOVE to see an in-depth discussion of exactly what "clinical, financial, and regulatory factors" are keeping them from essentially carrying a cure to a deadly disease.
CVS Health will not cover Gilead's Yeztugo, generic name lenacapavir (LEN), citing "clinical, financial, and regulatory factors."
CVS Health denies coverage for breakthrough HIV drug, committing 'clear violation' of ACA
