In the meantime, you should try Love and Friendship, with Kate Beckinsale.

She had such sly, subversive wit

And now I understand the difference in magnitude - 5.1 really does feel 10x stronger than 4.1.

For non-space people who follow me, the Artemis 2 mission with four astronauts to loop around the Moon is on track, with countdown started to liftoff at 6:30 pm Eastern on Wednesday.

So sorry to see this finish to what was soundling like a delightful time away. Hope you can recapture some good feelings before you depart.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit. Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks! Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you. No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset. It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast. Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

Truth

fwiw, mail voting as practiced today is actually quite high tech & extremely reliable (high tech print runs that put the correct races on each voter's ballot, high tech use of bar codes w/o IDing people). the whole west coast has mailed a ballot to all voters for multiple elections without problems

This is perfect advice. I went in unspoiled and loved the journey, which passed in a flash. Totally immersive cinema.

Had to reach out to one of my brother’s friends after reading the Facebook birthday greeting he sent.

Apple photos is even harder though.

Trump is like a human version of the One Ring. You cannot use him for good, or even really your own purpose. He's an inherently corrupting power that only ever serves his one master, himself. When you use him, you become bound to his will.

i wear a n95 from the hardware store in public indoor spaces and haven't been sick since 2019 lol

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

The "this is just a distraction!" thought-terminating brainworm is one of the most infuriating holdovers from Trump's first term.

Nothing is a distraction; they're not that disciplined or clever. Everything is important; their one strategy is to DDOS democracy and its mechanisms of accountability.

I am being dead serious when I say that journalists should be asking every powerful conservative - from GOP candidates to Elon Musk - what they think of the movement to repeal the 19th Amendment

Bc if they’re not coming out of the gate swinging, you have your answer

I’ve seen this person get retweeted by MAGA influencers like Benny Johnson. He’s not kidding. This is a real political goal he is pursuing. He has 425,000 followers on Facebook.

They put a button labeled "make me mad" in my enclosure and every time I press it I get poked with a pin. I thought there might be a monthly limit or something but so far it seems like you get unlimited presses

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Looks like the anti-voting bots are in full force. You'd have to be an utter idiot to fall for posts like these.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
