The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.

My wife just bought us a garden gnome. I want to name it Kristi Gnome because it's hollow, artificial, and my dog is terrified of it.

My dentist called me to see if I could come in early for my appointment today. When I arrived, I started humming along with the pretty instrumental music they had playing, and was a bit disconcerted when I recognized it as The Rains of Castamere.

If you want to eat the most expensive eggs you’ve ever had in your life, you should have backyard chickens.
Don’t get me wrong, I love them and have raised them, but they are an expensive hobby.

Sure things are bad, but not as cruel and horrific as when a restaurant calmly asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave. Oh the pearls that were clutched over that one!

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December.
Tesla’s CEO was not in the office.
In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do
People laughed a few days ago when @jamellebouie.net said we might not have flu shots next year, but:
NEWS: The FDA abruptly canceled its upcoming advisory committee meeting to select the strains for next year's flu shot.
