The article notes that Makary drew “strong applause” for saying “The real battle is not between left versus right. It’s between people who are lying to you and people who are trying to tell you the truth.” But that’s NOT true: The destruction of public health is a right-wing project.
if you’re in a position to help a helper, here you go
Oregon 🕎🎲@oregonthedm.bsky.social · 2w agookay I'm sorry to literally beg for this, I've done part time jobs and you all have been amazing sponsoring for me doing work around the community But I go 1400 a month rent is due at the end of the month and I'm freaking out, they can delay it until the 8th but I think I honestly can't pay it
no complaints about the free seat upgrade for our last Twins game of the season
love when bros almost hit me, a very careful pedestrian, in a crosswalk and get mad about it 🙄
this level of dumb boggles the mind, really all they have to do is keep doing that thing!
Steven Santos@stevensantos.bsky.social · last mo.Hollywood is so dumb that they made a successful pilot for THE MUPPET SHOW and then they scratched their heads wondering how to do it again.
FB: Michigan 13, Western Michigan 12, F This should be embarrassing. And it is. It's also better than a loss.
accurate (Michigan kid who's lived in MPLS for a long time), and also kinda funny because I lived in ATL for 5 years and "y'all talk funny" was one of the first things I heard when I moved there 🙃
the Make-a-Wish administration is at it again for their special boy
Devon Heinen@devonheinen.bsky.social · last mo.NEW via @washingtonpost.com: "Trump officials say work will start on triumphal #arch within two weeks The planned 250-foot-tall structure near Arlington National Cemetery is one of the president’s top construction priorities." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Walker Jenkins hit his first career homer off a position player. Jenkins pulled a blazing 37 mph Zach McKinstry pitch down the right-field line for a two-run blast.
the US presidency has turned into make-a-wish for the biggest, worst child in the land
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · last mo.FFS 🤦♂️
me, 10 seconds into listening to this clip: "cheese curds! just say cheese curds!" 🤦
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Lisa Demuth's streak of being unable to answer basic questions like a normal person continues
I skipped "stayed a while" and counted anywhere I've vacationed as "visited" because those trips were all a week or less
Rolling out “academic freedom” as a rallying cry now, after the CRT panic led to a bunch of Black scholars and theory to be literally banned from classrooms, shit is too rich lol
Dense urban corridors are for housing, parks, efficient transit, thriving businesses, walking and biking trails, cafes and restaurants, and places to live and breathe and be, not energy-sucking noisy space fillers that give nothing back to the community. Yeah, I'll NIMBY the shit out of this
Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12@aurinmpls.bsky.social · 2mo agoI’m highlighting this concern as we talk about it committee. Overlay districts have the potential of allowing data centers into areas of where people live & in green zones that have been impacted by environmental injustice. Read the policy & submit a comment: www.minneapolismn.gov/business-ser...
I am once again begging people to realize that elections have consequences. If Klob loses, she will keep her senate seat and go on with her life. Meanwhile, Demuth will make life in Minnesota a living hell for all of us. She will undo all of the progress we’ve made.
The shit you’re seeing with ICE, and police forces in general, is what America has been doing to Black folks since the beginning. None of us are free until all of us are free.
this thread is excellent and is pretty much my approach/view of the whole situation
Thomas Lecaque@tlecaque.bsky.social · 2mo agoI think I've put enough structures in place in my classes that I'm not going to bother hunting AI work. There are consequences, they are clear and they are drastic, but if I catch you, well, you get the hammer, and if I don't, you're wasting your money and your potential and your education.
