Thinking about the two men whose death anniversary is today, Prince, and Pope Francis. Both of them changed and impacted my life in different ways, even though I never met either one of them. Drop your favorite Prince song in the thread. I'll start with mine
Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

Wagner really snapped with "Kill the Wabbit"
This is new to me too--thanks for sharing!
I recently realized that I have been using the same white noise generator now for 26 years, almost every night. It's lasted longer than any other device in my possession. The only problem is that the plastic is breaking down and getting sticky ... but today, I fixed that! (1/3)
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
This is not an achievement when you consider, like, vehicles and things
Good news! We found the cats a home! But they still need a foster home for the next month! Please help us spread the word so we can find a good foster home for them!
Whenever she’s let out, she always settles down right here. I suppose this is a place where she feels at ease.

"The Pope isn't responsible for the American Congress of Bishops banning trans healthcare" so the thing about the power of the Pope is that he could just overwrite them if BANNING ALL TRANS HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE ADULTS AND MINORS ALIKE was something he cared about

Not every family fits into a model of “mum” or “dad”, and it doesn’t need to.
I’m a take this opportunity to shout out www.blackmen.build because they’re doing it and they have chapters across the country.
Me. Find Me.
So if someone opts in, and has taken photos of friends, relatives, kids, even strangers, they’re “giving permission” on behalf of all those people. So lots of people have no say in this.
The whole “opt in” thing was always a charade but it’s approaching terminal nonsense at this point.
His best known song which made it up to #91 on the billboard in 1979. I suggest looking into his 3 albums of varied , somewhat perplexing , eccentric music. youtu.be/kXPCsaO_55o?...
Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
I’m so fucking tired of having to do damage control with what I interface with.
Rest in Power to a major figure in the AIDS treatment activism in the 1980s, a time when many were indifferent or looking away.
