"POTUS" comes from the Latin "potus", meaning "the act of drinking alcohol", believed to have originated from the heroic amounts of alcohol consumed by the US founders after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Enough bacronyms. Start claiming acronyms are just words. "Potus" comes from Latin.

The reason you see the modern word "POTUS" written in all caps is that Latin didn't have lowercase letters.

"FLOTUS" is a portmanteau of "POTUS" and "flirt", because in the early US, the president was only allowed to flirt with his wife.

To be fair, a lot of people are also defending the ACA.

Is it as good as universal healthcare? Of course not. Is it better than what we had before? Of course.

Girl help, leftists on Bluesky are dunking on the Affordable Care Act.

@evan BUT I think mainly the wellbeing of the most powerful and wealthy is useful information in establishing what's going on in terms of inequality.

@evan I voted for the third option, but I think all three should be taken into account, as well as how many people belong in each group.

Hannibal is such a funny name for a fictional cannibal. "Yes, this is my new character Hank Robber, you'll never guess what kind of crime he commits."

@babe The glitz. The glamour.

My girlfriend @AshCarnelian: "Rabbit, their most famous song is called 'American Idiot'."
Me: "Yeah, I thought it was a little harsh!"

I was today years old when I found out that Green Day isn't from the UK??

Being a smarmy doomer doesn't help the situation in the US right now, but it does hurt you and your friends. Hope that helps!

Not to be xenophobic towards the various cold weather peoples of Europe, but ammonia is not a food.

Is there a way to make a private instance (like to replace a private Facebook group) on Fedi? I know some folks who are trying to leave Facebook but don't want to lose all their support.

@bean I'M AN ADULT AND I'M TIRED OF MY NAIL POLISH DRYING OUT

Oh shit, I saw a bald eagle!

@evan Qualified no. My family is multicultural, and parents and my in-laws do Christmas trees. We don’t in my house, because I’m Jewish, and while my husband is a culturally Christian atheist, we have five cats. So like, I participate in tree related activities (decorating, making ornaments, etc) with family sometimes, but it’s not my thing.

*sigh* Of COURSE there’s TERF discourse about detransition kink. Because they can’t leave trans people alone about anything ever.
