They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

One easy way to know if you should support cuts to Medicaid is to ask yourself if you want your nearest hospital to be open or closed next time you need it. Then repeat the question substituting “Emergency Department,” “Trauma Center,” “Stroke Center,” “Cardiac Cath Lab,” etc.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.
Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.
They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.
This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Listen, I know we’re entirely out of power and our party leadership is capitulating to Nazis and their average age is 97, and we lost Roe and the presidency and climate change and maybe social security and Medicare, and people are being disappeared off the streets, but why change course now?
Schumer screwed up big time. But let's keep our anger focused where it matters. newrepublic.com/article/1928... via @newrepublic.com
Democrats, This Is the Worst Possible Time for a Civil War
The party’s base is right to be angry at Chuck Schumer, but the country’s fate hinges on the fight against Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Musk's "joke" calling Social Security recipients "vampires" reveals a lot: He sees retirees as parasites who don't deserve economic security.
That's why he's going after Social Security. Trump's lies should fool no one on this front.

there is no cure for covid or long covid. Everyone is trial and erroring drugs for symptom management. However it is malpractice for your doctor to tell you there is literally nothing to try. Or if they just give you depression meds. Many people have symptom improvement from off-label medications.

i finished the book and What A Dude. absolute mad lad. lost his foot in an incident exploring the ice cap of greenland where he extricated himself from ice with a shiv made from his own feces. sheltered refugees from the nazis, was part of the danish resistance, and hung out in 1930s hollywood.
ive been reading books about arctic exploration / ice disasters / the heroic age of arctic exploration to deal with All This and may I recommend Wanderlust, by Reid Mitenbuler, a beautifully written, often funny, and carefully researched biography of Peter Freuchen, the Danish explorer in this photo

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs
America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.

That’s not good! It’s still scary. Anything can happen during those 90 days.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
