"no more blueberries, all gone"
"more blueberries there?"

("Can you check in the back for me?")

“could a dead man be blasting les miz???” is objectively funny, props to the WH for that one

Just got screamed at cause Nico got his pancake all wet (poured water on it) and I couldn't make it dry. Honestly food service prepared me a lot for parenting.

have you ever seen a cybertruck with a passenger in it?

(example of why no IRB would ever let us do a placebo controlled trial of a treatment when there is a standard of care.)

I think people with a tiny bit of knowledge about (but no practice in) clinical research have heard that double blind placebo controlled RCT is the "gold standard" and assume that's always the case. I love the parachute problem (there has never been a placebo trial on parachutes) as an example.

I gasped. Evil ages you pretty poorly I guess.

Some folks are getting confused by this scenario but the upshot is that vaccines are already approved on the basis of placebo-controlled trials, what RFK is trying to do is eliminate vax updates, which don’t require placebo controlled studies. So basically trying to kill annual flu/COVID updates.

For nearly 60 days, Israel has blocked food from Gaza. Palestinians struggle to feed their families For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other item has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel.

Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.

Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

Yale just stripped SJP of its status as an official student org after students protested the appearance of Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on campus. Ben-Gvir has been convicted in Israel on charges of supporting a terrorist organization

how is that not the default 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

anyway, gonna do that to the cop car page of my kids book about different types of cars.

is "conservative Christians gluing Songs pages together to not see smut in the Bible" a real thing or did I just hear that growing up?

during the winter, we probably spend 5-10 hours a week between several amazing local libraries. idk enough about the history of public libraries to know why they're so great but boy would it be hard to be a parent without them.

people are talking about how trump is stupid for confusing a trade deficit with a budget deficit, but the underlying issue is that everyone who demagogues about The Deficit is stupid

being more like cuba (now we will all get to drive old ass cars forever)

thinking about some monkeys paw wishes in my life:
an end to us hegemony, the destruction of free trade as a concept, billionaires losing a lot of money

Gang members should not be disappeared to an unaccountable torture prison either.

getting tricked, tortured, or being stupid are all things that are very much not signal vulnerabilities. that's a *you* issue. the app itself is very good at what it does

glad y'all are safe 🙏 classic aunt shit though.

do you remember when we thought "a silver lining to the pandemic is that people will realize that it is important to have robust public health infrastructure?"

I'm fine right now! I feel very sad and anxious for a lot of the people I work with! This is so fucking stupid!

it's like really cool to be in a field where we dealt with death threats during the peak of the pandemic while being told we were heroes, and now we are being there is basically no point to our jobs anymore.

did it again (referred to a band's "recent album" to realize it came out a full decade ago)

"mama" is the synthesis of course.

dialectic of being called "mami" by the dominican guy at dunkin v "mommy" by my toddler.

People also need to understand this isn’t federal money, this is DC money collected through DC taxes. They’re openly stealing from the city with the intent to immiserate the people living there because they resent the idea they should be allowed to govern themselves.
