wonder if “Dems” are related to that Greek thing where power is vested in people (plural)
We polled Dems on who their leader is. They had no idea.

I hate opening tickets with helpdesk.
I used to do sysadmin-ish work, actually read IT’s troubleshooting guides, and use some finicky applications.
I know I’m the one that always submits weird incidents that just hang on your board for weeks.

Jack also turned down Cheney’s offer to be king of Iraq.
We unfortunately don’t know when the offer was made but I like to imagine it was after the gay bomb since Jack seems like a caring lover.

i find myself getting really annoyed with the increased usage of “working class” in sense of anyone getting wage labor as though that’s *the* definition
in the US it’s a been a term for blue-collar/low-wage and it’s not really useful to describe me, a surgeon, and a Walmart worker as the same class

at this point I would actually trust someone who confesses, openly, that they are middle class way more than anyone who professes to be working class

*cost of the middleman’s supply chain, physical store, and sales services will need to be shifted to producer without middleman’s economies of scale. price is higher.

this is from the Tablet piece on Palmer Luckey they’re using as a model of *not* being a puff piece:

50% of boys are circumcised
Boys have autism at 3x the rate of girls
3.2% of kids have autism
32 in 1,000 are autistic

16:12 uncircumcised:circumcised
12/250= 4.8% autistic circumcised
16/750= 2.13%

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
