i saw a tiktok about how doing 9/11 in childhood is a sign of nymphomania and i can't stop thinking about it

Just want to be clear that when RFK Jr. said in the hearing today that he is “overhauling” the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, it is because this administration wants to reduce the number of services that health insurance companies are required to cover.

Have the subsidies been removed? Beef becoming a luxury food while still subsidized is crazy

Kaine to Vought: "Hold on -- you had the opportunity to tell the House yesterday to pass a DHS funding bill that you say you support, that 100% of the Senate supports, and you didn't bring it up? That's fascinating."

Glaciers will do that to ya

Faces are too big

I think the median voter believes in Natural Prices, and these are about how much things costed at the most recent point in their mind where they felt relatively financially stable. They expect politicians and businesses to honour this and take steps to ensure things cost their Natural Price.

Tennessee Has Fined Residents Nearly $100,000, Just For Braiding Hair All of those fines were for unlicensed braiding; none were triggered by any health or sanitation violation.

It is an exploitive and cruel revenue extraction scheme targeted at the poorest communities in this country. It criminalizes everyday normal activities.

@realfollowers.bsky.social How many followers do I actually have? Preregistering a ballpark guess of 200

I suspect furry horse collar demand may have already peaked with My Little Pony

I'm a cis woman. I scored a 0, which is apparently true neutral?

Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

these idiot adult converts are going to drive me back into the extremely questionable arms of the church

To me, patreon etc. feels more like the PBS "and financial support from Viewers Like You"

Oh that's a shame. I loved the historical pieces when I was a kid.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

What happens if you don't wash your dirty clothing? Like are you washing just for the cosmetic effect or are you at risk of diseases of poor hygiene?

Picard. I love star trek with the whales. Shoot that right in my veins. Riker , star trek IV Picard Riker faceplams

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

I didn't picture my adult years much, really; but for the most part, yeah
