Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room

Over the last 25 years, six people who contracted measles in the U.S. died from it. A model built by Stanford researchers predicts that if Americans could no longer get the vaccine, measles could kill about 290,000 people in the next 25 years. (Published March)

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish

Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Wasn't going to a meetup in an outdoor venue since the wildfire smoke was bugging me, but then got shot a text that some folks were reconvening over at a nearby pub. Got to hang with some folks i literally haven't seen in years! I was the baby in the crowd last night lol! And somehow sober!

Going to a get together this weekend made up mostly of people from my graduating class and the class from the year before mine. Last years was a hoot, and I think this year's should be even better, since we will be mostly in an outdoor space

Made a vegan pistachio pesto, and added high protein farfalle, peas, cannelini beans, zucchini, and artchoke hearts tonight. High protein, high fiber, and I can eat off this batch for days.

A pasta bowl filled with the aforementioned dish. It is pretty green, because of the pesto as well as the chosen vegetables.

This is the scariest shit. This is scarier than anything I saw with my own eyes in Iraq. The terror appears to be the point. I guess the technical term for it would be "terrorism."

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.

[smiling beatifically] coca-cola exists bc ppl in georgia wanted to get on the cocaine wine bandwagon, but wine was illegal in the state at the time (cocaine very much was not). that's why there's brown food coloring in it, to make it sort of look like red wine

Reading a novel set in the late 1800s and a character casually mentions "French cocaine wine" which 1. I thought they made up and 2. Finding out it was real sent me down a rabbit hole that lasted half the day. The POPE endorsing French cocaine wine literally *mind blown*

The other day my sister and I were taking a walk along the Portland Waterfront, and there were all these geese. My sister pointed out, "hey look there's a gosling," to which I responded, "um he has a NAME—it's Ryan?!" And that's why my sister deserves a medal for putting up with me and my nonsense.

[James Stewart as Odysseus] now listen here, Agamemnon, I'm going home, y'see. You keep your fancy armour, I'm getting off this crummy ol' beach. [Spotting the Cyclops] now here's a curious fella, he's only got one peeper

for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? A tiny clear baggie with one (1) spare fuse in it which goes to something so important that you can't remember what
