I keep saying “look up” over and over again as they approach me and see how long it takes for them to actually look up.

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

When Will the Anti-Vaccine Fever Break? A leading public health authority offers a bleak assessment of the future of vaccination.

The anti-vaccine movement carries the seeds of its own demise: when it wins, children are sick, hospitalized and die, and the tide turns.

The problem is the price. Children (and adults) don't deserve to be harmed by anti-vaccine misinformation.

All salivating over it and ready to call “dibs” on its use.

I for one am looking forward to submitting to our new Onion overlords.

Can’t be any worse than the way things are now.

As would any of the other sh*t he’s been pulling.

Brilliant minds at work

Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.

You dumb chucklefuck.

Glad to read that Mount Sinai, where I had my twins, is keeping its in-person classes. I went to a special group for couples expecting multiples (most of us twins but one set of triplets) and it was so valuable. Just talking amongst ourselves, learning with props, all of it helped.

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

Big Hero Six floored me when the brother died - I lost my brother when I was 11 years old.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Doug Ford looks sad that he has to give back his shiny new jet just because people in Ontario don't have emergency rooms, family doctors, properly-funded public education, affordable housing, or enough food on the table to feed their kids. His blue baseball cap has a Canadian flag on the side and the words, "Stop Being Mean To Me" in white on letters on the front.

Doug Ford's new line of merch is a bit of a departure from his Captain Canada shtick.

“I heard from the people, and I’m the Premier that listens to the people. If they don’t like something, I’m not too shy to change my mind ... ".
Well Ford how about restoring the Science Centre, bike lanes, FOI & cancelling the Therme Spa at Ontario Place. Restore real funding to education &health.

This is the funniest post I’ve seen in a long time.

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT DEAD

Ford says no one in Canada is scrutinized like he is after backtracking on $28.9M private jet purchase | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters Monday that "no one in the country" is more scrutinized than he is, as he explained his government's rationale for buying a $28.9-million private jet before qu...

I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.

But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way.

Any country’s post office should be a government service and talking about its profitability is like asking why the police forces or firefighters or military aren’t turning a profit. It’s absurd.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Thank frigging god.

JFC.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

One of the things I most resent about this is that I know it to be a deliberate strategy by Netanyahu, he does not want Jewish people to feel safe living outside Israel. And it’s working, global antisemitism is rising. The antisemites are making his point for him.

Wonder why American media isn’t doing stories like this?

A blured photo. A young girl is visible. She is wearing a blouse. She has quite long blond hair.

20 April 1937 | A French Jewish boy, Bernard Kolerstein, was born in Nancy.

In November 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

A portrait photo of a boy. His face and shoulders can be seen in an oval fuzzy frame. His hair is very short. He is wearing a shirt with a rather wide collar unbuttoned at the neck.

20 April 1929 | A Polish Jew, Michał Lask, was born in Będzin.

On 24 June 1943 he was deported from the ghetto in Będzin and was murdered in a gas chamber in #Auschwitz.

This is beyond appalling.

There seems to be this pervasive and now institutionalized dehumanizing attitude towards children that is leaving them open to this kind of abuse.

Children are not property.
