RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

We've had a lot of questions about why we are leaning into the accessible rallies...this is why.

Our neighbors who are disabled or ~unfit~ according to this evil man are at the front lines of the harm RFK Jr. is causing. When we EMBRACE accessibility and inclusivity, it is an act of resistance.

Yup same here, this was the first time any Mac ever died for me and it was over 10 years old. Was disappointed tbh. Normally I just reach the stage of thinking I really should upgrade this😂

Definitely some sort of meeting going on there😉

So new Mac finally set up. Got to say it wasn't too hard. And don't Apple pack things so well. It's very refreshing.

There was a goose on the field at Wrigley, they played on

Painted with encaustic (pigmented wax) on wood (probably sycamore), his head turned to his right, and wearing a white chiton (tunic) and white himation (cloak) falling from the nape of the neck, his solemn face with full lower lip, long aquiline nose, translucent hazel eyes, bushy eyebrows, and furrowed brow, his wavy gray hair brushed forward above the forehead. 12 3⁄4 by 6 in.; 32.5 by 15.4 cm Auction page: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2026/master-paintings-sculpture-part-i/mummy-portrait-of-a-man-roman-egypt-flavian-period

This realistically rendered Flavian era mummy portrait from Roman Egypt gives us a rare look at an older person from that era. It has been on loan for over 70 years to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, but was recently sold at auction. Will it disappear into a private collection? 🏺

Here we go again.

I just think it's pretty obvious Palantir should be nowhere near our NHS and that alone renders Labour unfit to lead this country.

Don't get it at all tbh. But I am an old fogey now😂

Most people seem happy to out source their critical thinking to these apps🤷🏼‍♀️

Argh! I have had people telling me Merlin is infallible. I knew those binoculars would get exactly the same reactions😱

Agree completely, level the playing field and stop lobbying.

😂 that sounds just like something that would happen to me!

Nick's post above about an unfortunate agave / arsecheek interfacing, followed by that meme of the bloke standing up to announce - this time - he has a splinter in his butt.

Amazing timeline synchronicity

Iris Long, Scientific Mentor to AIDS Activists, Dies at 92

UNSUNG HERO: Iris Long was an unlikely AIDS activist. A married chemist from Queens, she barely knew any gay people. She joined ACT UP to use her expertise to fight for treatments. May her memory be a blessing.

Argh. Once again I cannot sleep.

RBA. They took over Birdnet when my mate retired from running it. I like it better than my ancient phones tbh. The mega alert alone is worth it as it overrides the silent mode so you don't miss an alert.

There are many reasons I believe in the separation of Church and State and "you can't disagree with the head of state, that's against theology" is probably the most prominent "absolutely not" scenario.

This is cool.

Most definitely. But it does have it's advantages 😉

Yes I still have one!

FFS not read the pager all day... Just discovered about the 1st summer Ross's a plumage I really wanted to see😢😢😢

Beautiful work Esther!

The work computer is messed up so I gotta train the employees on using the backup machine

Really sad news, his was the constant radio voice of my youth too.

The one down south has seemingly found a McDonalds and a KFC to stay at. Reckon he recognised the Golden Arches😂
