The wording is vague, and that's the point. To have sweepingly broad reasons to commit people Let's be clear: this is one step closer to broadly rounding up folks for being "abnormal" or "wrong" Remember how being trans used to be considered a mental disorder? Or homosexuality?

🚨🚨🚨 While the fresh Palantir/Epi-X news post is bad, an EO today is much worse 🚨🚨🚨 As written, the point is to commit people "with mental illness who pose a danger to others OR are living on the streets" www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Things I have said in multiple contexts in different tones of voice: "What was that?" "Are you being naughty?" "Well hi there baby" "Come here. Now." "You've been very good today" Do I mostly say them to my cat? Yes. Have I said them....elsewhere? Also yes.

This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.

🚨🚨🚨Friendly PSA: I, like everybody else, am thoroughly enjoying the live action soap opera going on today. We have earned our giggles. But don’t forget that they are known to use distraction techniques to try to sneak stuff by us. So enjoy, but don’t lose all focus. That is all. Resume giggling 🤣🤣🤣

Oh hai, local Queer Chaos Gremlin reminding you I'm adorable and queer and chaotic.

Get your end-of-life shit together. I'm serious. Write a will. Make sure someone knows where your passwords and important papers are (do YOU even know where they are?). Get life insurance if you have dependents. IN WRITING, have an aftercare plan. Don't just leave it and hope for the best. Trust me.

Anecdotally, the vet and vet techs groups I'm in are almost 0% excited re: the "dire wolves". The majority of the comments are concerns about it being unethical, a cash grab, a ploy for attention, a waste of money, generally wasteful, an inaccurate claim, or a mix of all of the above.

By and large, these aren't "tariffs" per se, which try to balance prices. It's more like an embargo. The port fees on ships made in China, due to start April 17, would by themselves render unprofitable huge amounts of low-margin trade used throughout our economy. Stuff which we don't make here.

Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2y ago

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

oh man the TB situation is going to be really bad, because TB has, for good reason, *incredibly* tight quarantine rules that are monitored by staff that are no longer going to be there. foreignpolicy.com/2021/10/02/c...

COVID-19 Measures Are Soft Compared With Tuberculosis Rules

Complaints about vaccine mandates ignore well-established, far more intrusive precedents.

Beside measles outbreaks, we are likely to see resurgence of: - HIV - Tuberculosis - STIs (Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea) - A worse flu season - other vaccine preventable diseases. Because that's what happens when you gut public health, defund research and promote vaccine misinformation.

Y'ens, this is INSANE: ,@oliverdarcy.bsky.social reported last night that a bipartisan group of five former FCC officials are...urging Carr to drop the agency's "60 Minutes" proceeding...Carr reacted to the news by sending Darcy a GIF of "Dr. Evil" saying "How about no!' THIS IS NOT NORMAL

Aaron Alberico@alberico.bsky.social · 2y ago

Another must-read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social exclusive: In a striking bipartisan rebuke, five former FCC commissioners are urging Brendan Carr to shut down a revived “60 Minutes” case they warn threatens press freedom and could turn the agency into “a tool of White House-driven speech suppression."

New, from me: Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America. Here is a partial inventory. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

Whitewashing American history

The Trump Presidency as a project of erasure

As he faces Senate confirmation, remember that Dr. Oz: -Pushed Medicare privatization plans on his show -Owns ~$600k in stock in private insurers -Has ties to pyramid scheme companies that promote fake medical cures His main qualification to oversee CMS is loyalty to Trump.

Y'ens, the SCREAM cackle that came out of me when I read this. These two astronauts have been up there for ALMOST A YEAR after what was supposed to be a two-week mission.

The Crew-10 mission will send four astronauts to the space station to take over for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams’ crew, finally allowing their return home.
