If I lie down, I feel like I’m going to vomit. If I stand up, I feel like I’m going to fall down. So I’m just gonna sit here.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

I have slacked off terribly on posting PDFs of my grandfather's journey. Synopsis: From July 17-19, they camped out on the rapids below Fort Smith, and made an arrangement with the captain of a boat called Distributor to work for passage down the 16-mile stretch of dangerous rapids.
The fact that this man swore an oath, probably on a Bible, to do exactly what he says he and his colleagues cannot do just pisses me off all over again.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
To the person who killed one of Hindenberg's fawns: 1. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. 2. PAY ATTENTION TO THE FUCKING ROAD. 3. YOU LEFT THE FAWN LYING BROKEN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FUCKING DRIVEWAY FOR ME TO REMOVE. 4. SHE WAS STILL WARM WHEN I GOT THERE SO YOU NEVER EVEN STOPPED TO SEE WHAT YOU HIT. FUCK YOU.
I want to live somewhere where random people all know Vivaldi.
Acid Rain@bearysweet.bsky.social · 2d agoAnd now, a little Vivaldi. Michel Tirabosco, a renowned pan flute player, collaborating with Raphaël Froissart. He is a professor at the Geneva Conservatory. Born with physical differences, he began playing the pan flute at 7 and has achieved international recognition for his skill. #streetmusic
Monolingual conservatives will be framing this as a brothel based on its name (which means, essentially, “new house”) in the very near future. Guaranteed. They can’t cope with anything decent happening for the people making less than 6 (7?) figures.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2d agoWe can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.
How did I fail to put Death By Salad on my Bingo quilt? That’s gotta be corrected immediately.

NO ONE wants Data Centers. NO ONE wants their cars tracking your every movements. NO ONE wants Flock camera's. So who the fuck is installing them? And why are we just taking it???
Checking the weather app to see when Miss I-won’t-pee-if-it’s-wet might willingly go outside and it looks like it may be awhile. Prepare for battle, Miss. I’m not going to let you pee on my freshly cleaned rugs.
“Capital One on Friday pushed back on a Trump Organization lawsuit that claims the company was a victim of ‘woke debanking’, by releasing documents showing the bank closed 300 Trump Organization accounts in 2021 only after review by their anti-money laundering experts.”
Listening to a report about the Iran war. I never thought I’d be grateful that my two sons have a life threatening chronic illness that renders them ineligible for military service.
“Taken together, the past two years have seen more measles infections in the US than the rest of the 21st century combined. The last time a greater number of measles cases were recorded in a single year was in 1991.”
RFK Jr tells US families to vaccinate children against measles amid outbreak
Health secretary, longtime vaccination skeptic, spent years boosting misinformation about vaccines including MMR

Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Oh yes. They’re very much ramping up, judging by what I got served today.
Elizabeth No War or ICE@fenbeast.bsky.social · 4d agoI’m a Maine voter so I’m continually targeted by political ads from Collins and (now) Jackson. The ads I’m seeing from the Dems are absolutely pounding her on her Kavanaugh vote and her support for ICE. Collins’ ads have been pretty tame but I expect them to ramp up.
The last of the blackberry sorbet The last of the raspberry sorbet The first of the strawberry + lingonberry sorbet
Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.
I’m old enough to remember when moon landings meant a gentle touch down, sample collection, and maybe a round of golf. Not the rocket science equivalent of a drunken frat boy tripping over his feet after getting pantsed by his bros.
Forbes@forbes.com · 5d agoThe collision itself will occur on the moon’s sunlit surface and won’t be visible from Earth even in large telescopes, but the resulting dust cloud may be, according to new research.
Was going to make strawberry sorbet. Discovered I did not have enough strawberries. But, had to do something with what I had because they were looking a little wizened. Saw the bottle of lingonberries that a hay customer gave Mark. So now I have strawberry-lingonberry sorbet and boy is it good.
Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
They fired this woman? They should be giving her an award. If the food wasn't used up at lunch on Friday, it was going in the trash. Wasted. And it's been proven many times that hungry children don't learn well. Using resources you already have to improve learning is what schools SHOULD be doing.
If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.
🚨 After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.
