We have the potential to love like the sun does—a golden cup over flowing without expectation of return.

Trying to do that.

If there were 38 shootings that injure or kill a CEO in 2025 instead of school shootings we would have robust national gun reform before July 4.

Looks like I'm gonna have until at least Monday before I get my medicine refilled. Didn't have it for today.

I don't want to be locked in this ADHD brain without my meds for 96 hours. I don't even like being in it for one before bed.

I want to be me. I want to be Piper, not this.

Tierra Walker had a complicated pregnancy she wanted to terminate in the first trimester. None of the >90 physicians who cared for her were willing to provide the care she needed due to Texas’s abortion ban, and she died at home, with her 14 yo son having to do CPR.

This is pro-death, not pro-life.

The cops run municipal government and by and large the public is fine with this. THAT is the root problem.

The more we learn about CTE the clearer it becomes the only way to preserve the NFL is to reduce the number of hits athletes take in their lives by severely lowering the years they play contact.

I worry our country will refuse to end contact high school & under football until there is no football.

Who knew the P in P320 stood for “based?”
The officer was "heading for duty" Wednesday night when his "weapon discharged and he accidentally shot himself in the testicles" in the station's parking lot, records show.

Why is my WiFi slower at my desk, which is literally direct line of sight (true LOS, not even behind like a monitor or the side of a cabinet) to the access point only 25ft away than in the back of my closet through three walls at the furthest possible point in the apartment 😭

WiFi is dark sorcery and I’m unconvinced there is anyone on the planet who has a logical understanding of how to set up a reliable WiFi network with any rhyme or reason to where slow/dead spots exist and why.

Luckily my arm only hurts when I breathe or my heart beats.
Just got vaxxed to the max during my mandatory every 3 months check in to receive the life saving medicine that the DEA won’t let manufacturers make enough of.

Your “My boss doesn’t want to execute you” shirt is raising a lot of questions that I admit are nominally answered by your shirt.

I still feel like I need to ask them.

As a Democratic legislative staffer, I gotta say:

I do not find this terribly reassuring. No matter how fervently you tell me you don’t want to execute me, it’s super weird* that you’re saying so to start with.

*by “weird” I mean “indicative of a desire to execute me”

Image #3 shows the detached engine beginning to path towards the airframe as opposed to away from it, ensuring debris will interfere with the engine in the tail and doom the flight.

Terrifying. Absolutely nothing that poor aircrew could do.
there are some pictures out from the preliminary investigation into the UPS crash and holy fuck it’s American 191 all over again

there was no saving that plane

I try hard to avoid whataboutism.

But dog I just got a call from someone concerned “about our threatening posts” (just basic anti ice info) “raising the climate of violence” when the actual President literally just said I should be killed for sedition.

They said they weren’t gonna call about him.

“Is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable” do you hear yourself? If leaders believe others should have their rights acknowledged contribute to genocide anyways what difference does it make

A lot of channels have responded to the AIvestigations with a split screen proof-of-humanity in the first minute or two and it has exactly the same emotional impact of a kidnapping victim filming their own proof-of-life video.
I hate that every time I try a new YouTube channel now I have to have the “is this a person or ai?” scrutiny.

I’ve always been in favor of people using synthetic voices before because it offered accessibility. I hate that accessibility tool becoming a marker for grifters. Going backward.

Mocking ICE with “Ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter!” is the single coldest line anyone has ever delivered from a scooter.
