See, this is why nobody trusts cops. This officer decides to shoot a reporter in the leg, on live TV, for absolutely no reason. Nothing going on, no excuse, just lines up the shot and fires.

Also, at that range, many rubber projectiles can pass right through a person. Just depends on luck. I’ve seen people die from beanbags and rubber rounds.

They are “quelling protests”.

Think about that for a moment.

Not riots. Not an insurrection. Protests. Protected 1st amendment activity that apparently needs to be “quelled”.

Unions could end this next week. If the trash stops getting picked up, hospitals floors stop getting mopped, nurses stop showing up, farm workers stop weeding and picking, nobody is there to stock grocery shelves — this shit would stop.

You ever see riot cops charge a crowd of white dudes carrying AR-15s?

Hope nobody in DC is planning on going anywhere around the parade route for the next year while they fix the pavement, dig up broken utilities, refix the pavement, etc.

Roads aren’t designed for tanks. Tanks aren’t designed for roads.

Today SCOTUS decided that DOGE can access your social security info despite privacy laws rather explicitly saying those data cannot be used this way. They also ruled in a separate case that we probably can’t demand to know what was accessed and how those data were used. So, DOGE can access these data “because trust us, we’re acting in good faith”, and “no, you can’t see if we are acting in good faith, because trust us, man”.

DOGE includes guys involved in literal crypto fraud.

Wonder if anyone has reminded Musk that he was here illegally and lied on his paperwork when he was naturalized, so he can probably just be rounded up and sent to CECOT while courts fuck around for months.

Run into a narc tip line for gender affirming care? Just go google every erectile dysfunction and “low T” clinic in your area, and report away. Also highly recommend reporting plastic surgery centers that specialize in breast augmentation. It’s all gender affirming.

Aaaaanyway. On another topic. If you are questioning whether or not the problem you just developed is a stroke, go in now. Don’t wait. In the US, at most ERs, you have at most 4.5 hours from time of onset to get in, and get a diagnosis, if you want to get “clot busters”. You may have up to 24 hours for more advanced treatments if you meet strict criteria, but this is not as common and is unavailable to many areas of the US. Don’t wait. Time is brain.

Everyone has a fucking opinion on the fire bombing in Boulder today, and everyone is calling it a terror attack. Well, everyone except the agency actually responding. Boulder PD has said it is too early to speculate on motive.

It may well be terror. It may be antisemitic terror. It may be anti-Israel, non-religious terror. Who the fuck knows. What I do know is that the governor, FBI, and numerous other folks are labeling it an antisemitic terror attack for political gain. Not awesome.

I foresee this coming up, so to be clear, FUCK Hamas.

I am against killing innocent people regardless of who they are. Bombing buses, dragging people from homes, bombing hospitals, starving cities — it’s all bad, all of it. So lest anyone decide that my measured plea for people to take a minute before labeling every damn thing antisemitic as a tacit endorsement of Hamas, it isn’t. Fuck those guys, fuck nazis, and fuck IDF. No use for any of them.

Rumor has it IDF just blew up a dialysis unit in Gaza. For those unfamiliar, when people with dead kidneys can’t get dialysis they:
- drown in water in their lungs
- get confused, agitated, and then sleepy
- get high potassium levels, start passing out intermittently, and then up and die
- FUCKING DROWN IN THEIR OWN INTERSTITIAL FLUID
- DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH AS THEY GET FLUID IN THEIR LUNGS, GASP FOR AIR FOR HOURS, TIRE OUT, AND DIE

Anyway. IDF just did that to people. 👍

So we have $50 million to piss away on a 90 minute Army parade, of which $16 million is for repairing damage to roads caused by vehicles. Meanwhile, we’re cutting scientific grants of thousands of dollars. Seems totally reasonable.

The cool thing is that when SCOTUS overrules every lower court and sides with Trump it reinforces his bullshit, and when they decide against him, he just ignores them because they made themselves irrelevant with the first situation. Sucks to suck.

Supposedly RFK’s “MAHA” report included multiple citations for papers that do not exist.

Y’all — get better.

Using AI to do your homework is dumb. Not proofreading it afterwards is really dumb.

Also, if I submitted a manuscript with fake citations and got caught, I would probably find it very hard to publish ever again.

“Tax cheat” means they stole from you and me. If you pay taxes, and someone else doesn’t, but everyone gets services like roads, firefighters, parks, and national security, the guys not paying the taxes they owe are stealing from you.

Taxes go to the treasury, which funds OUR government that WE own. When someone cheats on taxes they aren’t stealing from “the government”, they’re stealing from all of us. Fuck those people.

Oh good! Republicans in the House are saying they didn’t read the bill they voted for, and don’t really support preventing judges from holding people in contempt, and they sure do hope the senate fixes their mistake.

Bullshit. It was widely reported on before the vote. Fucking cowards, every single one of them.

The thing about COVID infection during pregnancy is that it dramatically increases risk of miscarriage. The vaccine seems to prevent this pretty well.

The guys who are worried about abortion are taking away a vaccine that prevents spontaneous abortion (miscarriage).

The people who deliver babies and deal with the complications when things go wrong think pregnant women should get COVID shots.

Speaking of lifestyle things to address obesity and diabetes, has anyone asked Marty Makary and RFK where in the actual fuck they expect people to exercise in somewhere like OKC or North Denver? “Just walk around your neighborhood” is unsafe without sidewalks. Gyms cost money, and you have to get there, and many don’t have childcare while you’re there.

These wellness-focused fucks are so used to their hospital gyms and safe neighborhoods that they can’t imagine reality. Fuck ‘em.
