Students: if you are reaching out to a professional to ask questions please for the love of god actually include your questions, do not just send “would it be okay for me to ask you some questions?”

RFK is quoted to offer BEEF TALLOW as an alternative to ultraprocessed foods. If you can't understand how the modern fascist movement couches every single one of their claims with a thread of truth while offering literal destruction of society as a solution to the problem, then GTFO of government.

RADDATZ: Why did you think RFK would change? You knew what he had said for years about autism CASSIDY: A lot of parents. I am a representative of people, so if I've got 1-000 contacts, 60-70% of them were from people who believed in the need to address ultraprocessed food.

We have a Subaru that _regularly_ gets a check engine light because the gas cap isn't tight enough, which shuts down the entire visual driving assistance computer (distance/lane/cruise control) stops working, AND we get a text message from the dealership asking if we want to schedule service.

Pretty much every car company tracks almost everything you do and everywhere you go with your car. You can’t turn it off. You have practically no control over it. And there’s almost zero privacy laws or regulations of it.

This is a pretty big shift in US cyber policy. The White House is setting up a program that would let private cybersecurity companies conduct gov-authorized operations against foreign cybercriminal groups, inc surveillance & disruption of their infrastructure www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Always a good reminder while some people are muted. Never have I ever seen a more literal use case for That One Panel.

Discord conversation: User 1: i see this all the time when i make the mistake of reading [City] facebook community groups they're always bitching about how poor they are, how they can't afford anything. but they are super against taxes. like, they just don't understand how governments or economies work. User 2: It's really fun. Tons of people on disability and social security telling everyone how much they hate socialism 2 ignored messages -- hide User 3: Which is a lot like people complaining about capitalism owning stocks "I hate it, but it's what we have so""That One Panel". Description taken from thatonemattborscomic.com 'A smirking guy, Mr. Gotcha, is improbably perched in a well, while a peasant of centuries-old appearance carrying a bundle of sticks says, “We should improve society somewhat.” Mr. Gotcha replies, “Yet you participate in society. Curious. I am very intelligent.”'

There is a subtler bigotry. It's not like "Abdul El-Sayed" isn't obviously Arab/Muslim. "Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed" triggers stronger xenophobia because it suggests an unassimilated immigrant. It exoticizes him with a name an American typically wouldn't opt to go by in daily life (as he does not)

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago

RAJU: Why use El-Sayed's full name in attack ads? Are you trying to say, 'Hint hint, he's Muslim'? TIM SCOTT: Not at all RAJU: But why not just use the name he goes by? TIM SCOTT: Listen, I go by Timothy Eugene. I get called that all the time.

Ran a water line to our new refrigerator over the weekend, and while I'm appreciating the amenities it brings, the icemaker cycling is completely spiking the anxiety that living in a 100+ year old house brings. Usually those sounds are accompanied by a $1500 repair bill.

Its Widow season already. I generally don’t mind them existing, but the stupid fucks leave the worst webs. Wish they could tidy up a bit.

So he’s impulsive and prone to emotionally driven behaviors? Where have I heard this broadly applied to another group of people describing why they aren’t fit to hold the presidency?

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
