Removing the flu vaccination requirement for military personnel increases:

➡️ the risk of rapid outbreaks in close-quarters settings

➡️ the likelihood of undermining workforce readiness

➡️ risk of severe illness and hospitalizations

➡️ transmission to surrounding civilian communities

I was woken up at 3 AM by two of my cats beating the shit out of each other on top of my head.

Why are they like this???

Lucky! I barely lost half an inch... Guess that's my trade off for natural C-cups

Mmm... Not enough lip filler for Fox News. You look better without it anyhow.

a video game is being played with a pokemon named nidoran Alt: a video game is being played with a pokemon named nidoqueen. She looks like she's grabbing her tits and giving them a good jiggle, which is kind of a wild animation to put in a game designed for children.

Me literally every day

So, wait: I'm being framed for the collapse of western "civilization" because cis men get confusing boners about us and cis women cry about their kids' decisions?

You're sure it's the trannies? Not the literal sexual-predator billionaires sucking up all the world's wealth and resources? Really?

Wow, it's almost like her actions have consequences!

We should be learning from other countries...

I think that you're underestimating the stupidity of the general public. I think the first win was legit, but not the second.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Nationwide General Strike Planned for May 1: No Kings Organizer | Common Dreams Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin announces nationwide general strike on May 1 in next No Kings mass action.

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike

May 1st, National Strike

No work, no school, no shopping

Did you get to keep them in a jar?

Chiitan liked my post too! Image is proof.

Same way I felt!

It's so you can tune in and whisper sweet nothings to her as she sleeps... Or alternatively, when she pisses you off, play an air horn and log off before she knows it was you.

Happy rebirthday!

I'm already planning on Go Fest in Pittsburgh on July 11th 😭

Within 10 days, parts of the global economy will start running short of critical goods After 30 years studying economic sanctions and blockades, I don’t say this lightly: --Not just higher prices --Shortages.

Pape @ProfessorPape · 8h Everyone is still talking about oil prices That’s already outdated --This is no longer a price shock --It is the early stage of a system-wide supply shock Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape · 8h Here’s the mechanism: price spike → physical shortage → economic contraction We are now crossing into step 2 That’s when things break. Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape · 8h ~20% of global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. That flow is now constrained -- by Iran AND US And it’s not just oil—it’s the base layer of modern production: fuel, fertilizer, plastics, much more

Once inventories run down, this stops being about expensive inputs It becomes about missing inputs Factories don’t slow because costs rise They stop because materials don’t arrive Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape · 8h We’ve seen the smaller version of this. 1973: ~7% supply disruption → shortages, rationing, industrial decline in under 90 days. Today’s shock is larger.

I hate to bring X here, but it's silly to discuss any of this disaster without this context that I'm not seeing this clear anywhere else

Ask your surgeon. The biggest risk that I know of is if there are major complications requiring magnetic imaging, they'll have to take extra time to remove them.

I liked Silver the best, still do. But Hop is second.

The worst? Nemona. Can't stand her, so overbearing.

Deem them unfit. I really should remember that spell check sucks now that the powers that be injected AI into it.

At least they've made it easy to evade now. A dress and some makeup and they'll feed them unfit easily.

I've tried not giving up using jack and coke

More like mona-stair-y, amiright?

A Pokemon card set, a highly desirable one. But MSRP is 6.99, and even scalpers usually sell at 10-12 per.

Of all things, this cruise has packs of Journey Together for sale in one of the shops.

For 16.99 each.

I'll take the fuckin scalpers at that price!

Where did you get that? The print is so cute! You look amazing!

Iran hits back on social media.

I did ZA without megas too! This sort of thing is fun.
