Watched the start of the newest season of Alone, this great survival reality show.

A dude immediately gets in a freak accident and gets an arrow in his leg. I can’t help but feel the universe was saying LEAVE before this bear eats you or something. Dude was cool.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I mean there’s literally multiple free and actual built in spell checks that would’ve caught the misspellings easily.
They can't spell "April"?

"The termination emails were riddled with mistakes — with employees’ names, the month of April and even the institute’s title misspelled in places — a telling sign of the rushed and haphazard nature of the operation..."

DOGE fires nearly all staff at U.S. Institute of Peace headquarters
D.C. employees of the institute, founded and funded by Congress, received late-night termination notices, though most of its overseas staff were left in place.

This “Carry-On” movie is a nice fantasy where TSA is effective and meaningful. It would be nice if it was like this instead of security theatre.

I like how I can’t smell much, nose is messed up, yet I can smell tornadoes. Before they even exist and of course during, before they’re to me.

People think it’s crazy but I can smell it. It’s ozone but something else I can’t describe. Handy habit, I guess. Can give me an hour+ warning sometimes.

I’m so confused. My hair started greying at 21. Continued till 27.

Then nothing more and I’m 34 now. Nothing more at all. Concentrated mostly on temples. Still white. Rest is normal.

Explain? I’m so confused but it’s cool.

Chewy, I love you but tell whatever USPS UPS etc you use to not deliver in this weather. 💀☠️

It’s severe winds, a dust storm, and wildfires here in OK and I got a knock knock haha. Like I could wait, save yourselves

Someone on FB just told me helping the poor is socialism and Hitler was a socialist.

Then they deleted the post and reposted it with limited commenting.

The post was a long way to say they wanted help and people weren’t helping them with their pregnancy costs (legit things, being poor isn’t fun)

Trying again to finish a read of IT by Stephen King. It’s a tremendous book, it’s just long haha.

It’s so lovely. Now it’s speaking to me as horror yes, but also about growth, justice, and fighting for good even when you don’t stand a real chance. I think that’s beautiful and I miss the 80s.

Why aren’t we talking about the true preventive treatment which is vaccination 🤦‍♀️
What to know about vitamin A and the measles
In the CDC’s first public statement on the measles outbreak, it suggested vitamin A as a type of supportive care.

Bill Skarsgård is amazing and terrifying. He’s in the new Nosferatu and truly scared me to my bones.

Gabby Petito was just so young. I was only beginning to live my life at 22.

I’m glad that at least, her videos that meant a lot to her are being seen. Every artist loves that.

This FBI lady in the Gabby Petito Documentary is a straight up bad ass hottie. I’m sorry but holy cow, she’s gorgeous, strong, powerful, and then teared up about the people who need help 💗

Go Chiefs! 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. Congrats on being second in the league at least!

Philly played a good game…. Congrats to the Eagles.

Also booing Taylor was fucking bizarre. But they cheered Trump so I can’t take them seriously.

How on earth am I supposed to be fit when I spent at least 9 hours a day standing for work.

Do standing desks and/or treadmills really work?

I’m scared, my Native friends are being told to carry ID. As a Jewish person… triggering and scary.

I obviously am pale and will never get asked for ID as things are. But I worry for them and the world.

In good news, while it’s hard to work with our country collapsing today, I may be out of work soon and not have to work.

Oh wait

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.
