Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans

Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.

The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.

An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.

I love the hit television show Our Flag Means Death

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

I think if they couldn’t figure out how to put it in the correct movie then that’s their problem. Endgame was not good enough to warrant a directors cut “whoopsie” version

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

It’s also worth remembering that many Americans love their jobs for reasons beyond the financial ones. A good job gives you an identity, status, community, and a reason to leave the house. In other words, it gives you dignity, and that’s not something that a public wealth fund can substitute for. UBI may still be worth doing; should vast numbers of Americans become unemployed due to AI, some form of it may well be necessary. In the meantime, though, I suspect AI companies will find that gauzy promises of future welfare payments will help them about as much as their gauzy promises of future cancer cures — which is to say, not much. What Americans actually want, it’s not clear that AI can give them. And the sooner that AI executives understand that, the better off we’ll all be.

OH MY FUCKING GOD THEY MADE AN EDIT WITH NINA'S HIRE MORE LESBIANS INTERVIEW

Looks like the BBC is now doing Reform's party political broadcasts for them 🤮

A wide shot of tiered seating towards a stage framed with black drapes. Two chandeliers - large and pendulous - hang above the seating.

And this is one of the stages. You can see why I'd put Stede in there, ni? :D

An over the top Georgian building with an entrance frontage triple arches with pillars like a greek temple on top and lots of tall windows

This is the exterior :)

Before I forget, for the curious, the venue that is being used by both Stede's crew and Ed's crew in Places Everyone! is the Assembly Rooms on George Street, because of course Stede would go for a large and fancy and historical building. #ofmd #ofmdfic

Forgot how much they use the ringing-ears effect after the explosions in the Hunger Games films. Lads, I don't need you turning my tinnitus sound up that loud, thanks

I miscounted XD Last day is tomorrow and the draw is on Wednesday!

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The judge also blocked "any similar policy."

Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.
