Either RFK Jr. just lied to the Senate or he played the anti-vaccination people for the fools they are.
Just kidding. He lied.

Many of my connections here are probably made because of my nerdier side. The D&D, video game, comic nerd side.
If politics aren’t your thing, I apologize now for all of the political stuff I have posted and will probably continue posting.
I promise to pepper in the other stuff, too.

He knows the rules. In fact, in April of 2024 he told Time Magazine he wouldn’t support an amendment that would allow him to serve a 3rd term. But one such resolution has been introduced in Congress.
He’s taking a temperature here. He wants to see how well this idea is received.

When your ignorance (stupidity) has you going against real science, despite the facts disproving your conspiracies, you silence the science. You “cancel” the expertise.
This. Is. Dangerous.
I can’t believe that Americans support this. Completely baffled. And scared.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

I watched “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” over the weekend.
Today feels like we’re watching Hydra reveal themselves.
It was fun to think “that’ll never happen here.”

My fellow retro gamers - what are your top GBA titles? I’ve heard @scottjohnson.zip profess his love for the GBA and its library, but I never owned one (I opted for the PSP). @briandunaway.bsky.social for good measure.

That second Joker movie is really good. I can’t believe I didn’t see it sooner. The way it deals with Arthur and Harley’s crazy and how they match each other…
And that ending. Saw it coming from near the beginning, but it still paid off.

Woke up today feeling bulletproof. Then I checked the world news. Not trying to be a downer, but man, it’s a weird time.
I’m feeling a little WoW therapy after work. Might get my first tank (Druid) to level 80 and start gearing.

My ITness was humbled this morning.
Have had a ticket for a few days for an issue with a cursor, resizing windows, and highlighting text. Replaced mouse, ran DISM repairs, etc. Today, I unplugged the dock from the laptop, tested the trackpad, and reconnected the dock. That was it.
