As someone whose system DOES NOT LIKE opioids, ibuprofen has been amazing for me for things like the pain after dental surgery, since I can’t take most other drugs that would get prescribed. His idiot ass can fuck all the way off.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

Folks would buy 29% fewer items, of lesser quality, to save that 25% versus the same items from 2024. So it’s STILL more expensive, just packaged to look like savings.
Fun Fact:
The 2024 Walmart Thanksgiving menu contains 21 items.
The 2025 Walmart Thanksgiving menu contains 15 items.
It’s disgusting how many people and corporations willingly feed Trump’s propaganda machine.

Remember - it’s not that they can’t; they WON’T, and the ballroom is Trump’s main focus right now. Not our communities. Not the American people, not American farmers. Just his goddamn $350 million vanity project.

I dunno, man, I just have a really hard time finding any sympathy for a guy who said mass shootings are the price the rest of us have to pay to preserve his ability to buy as many of whatever kind of gun he wanted and said empathy was a disease.

More accurate: “Two billionaires already hoovering up American tax dollars like mad swear they’ll root through America’s ledgers and redirect more funds back to themselves, instead of things like cancer research or securing the nuclear arsenal.”
President Trump and Elon Musk have vowed to uncover and eliminate fraud in the federal government.
Government Accountability official says fraud does exist, but it's not widespread

It’s just good hospitality to offer options.
Note for the upcoming holiday season,,, some of us are on a sobriety journey and mocktails or non-alcoholic beer options make a big difference 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I have a full mug of Glühwein, a lap full of dog, and a fully charged PlayStation controller. There are about two months before the fascists take power, so I’m taking my joy and calm where I can get it. I’m filling my reserves for the days ahead.

Yeah. While these are definitely interesting times, they are unfortunately not unprecedented times.
It’s part of the heartbreak. I want us to be better, I want us to be good and empathetic, and a majority just…aren’t.

as much as i am a firm believer that the past is a foreign country it is also kind of true that americans have Always Been Like That
So we’ve always been this way.

MAGA’s gonna be big mad when they find out that means McDonald’s is on the No list. Lot of those Gravy Seals wouldn’t know a vegetable if it came up and slapped them in the face.
MAGA’s embrace of RFK Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” is so funny because these same people CRUCIFIED Michelle Obama for daring to suggest that American kids should have access to healthy lunches in school.

To deal with my rage at the idiocy of my state and country, I am hollying the fuck out of my jollies this year. They want me to be sad and scared? Not happening (outwardly, anyway). The carols will be screamed, the halls will be decked; quail at the fury of my holiday spirit, motherfuckers.

Seeing the folks who are now realizing what they voted for, and seeing that they’re starting to freakout and are having big time buyer’s remorse is honestly kinda satisfying.

If you're unhappy and unsettled by Trump's election, don't quit. That's just what they want you to do.
But that doesn't mean you have to do everything the same. Your media and social media habits, for example.

Authoritarians Want You To Quit
Don't withdraw entirely, but it's OK to partially disengage. The future will be tough, and you're in better position to fight if you stay sane. Here's how I'm adjusting.
