This would be horrific no matter what it was referring to. But "cleaning up the risk pool" by eliminating vaccines just means you kill a bunch of people WHILE ALSO creating a whole new "risk pool" of people with post-viral issues.
Seeming silence from Congresspeople on this issue after some initial promise is disappointing and encourages compliance with illegal orders/discourages non-compliance as th case(s) may be.
Servicemembers need to know there will be consequences for warcrimes & that dissent will be protected/rewarded
I kind of thought everyone experienced intrusive thoughts to a greater or lesser degree
So hey that's eugenics
He's mad that Trump isn't *enough* of a Nazi, you monumentally useless buffoons

Ohms For Oafs
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters
the art of war: “you - yes, you, dipshit - need to feed your men and make sure they don’t get sick. no you are not exempt on the basis of being a very special boy. oh my god, why am I surrounded by idiots.”
During Trumps first admin I interviewed Carlson and talked to him about how his rhetoric specifically hurt my life and he treated it like a big joke. Remorse that only comes when it’s convenient isn’t remorse at all.
Flu is the only one that is an across the force annual requirement, so it's the one you would eliminate if you want to engage in performative signaling
It also has lower risk of high impact consequences; we'll see if this ends up extending to (eg) Td (specifically the T bit)

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Syringes are tops, upper arms are bottoms
Hegseth is planning to promote Influenza B to Brigadier General
Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...
Wall Street Journal headline: "Alan Dershowitz: Why I'm Becoming a Republican"
Higher acceptance of sex crimes, same reason as everyone else who announces this
Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman
This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.
It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.
Virginia is for Sexdoers
If you attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, you should be legally barred from using the term "journalist" to describe yourself from that point on.
Let's sum up Trump's tariffs.
1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary.
2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business.
3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$.
4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds.
5) Consumers will get squat.
i'm not saying that the Democrats should immediately announce a Universal Basic Pierogis campaign but I'm not not saying that
Democrats in disarray?
No, in formation to spell out "Fuck that guy."
As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
If you want to boil down John Browns message it isn’t “rebellion” it is “slavery is against gods laws and must be fought by any means necessary.“
It was not “vote against the chief executive who is a dang Cheeto”
Screaming hot take:
It’s entirely possible that Somalis test out on standard IQ tests with a lower mean than western people (100), because IQ is meaningless racist, sexist, colonial, eugenicist bullshit designed to produce exactly such a result.
IQ is bollocks. Utter, total bollocks.
The famous Wontons of Tuscany
I took my kid to a playground once that had this structure but without the fiberglass hat/bun/et. al.
Alex's photo really solved a mystery for me.
