Front page of the Miami Herald yesterday. As it should be.

Ibn Nafis' description of circulation. I assume. I can't read Arabic.

Dude had blood circulation figured out 300 years earlier, but he wasn't in Europe so no one can be bothered to remember. I don't care that it's just in the opening voice over, this is my special interest and I will not be silenced! The show is not half over while I'm still composing this message!

My wife's our medicine person, her dad was a nurse, she was a CNA and watches Grey's Anatomy before reading the actual literature about cutting edge research that's frequently close to accurate. But the latest episode leaves out my man ibn Nafis and gives all the credit to that hack William Harvey!

Only three saws? Do people think that's a lot?

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

In an 11-3-1 vote Allegheny County Council has voted to PASS legislation banning cooperation with ICE county wide.

🎉🎉🎉

If we send him to The Hague right now do you think they might forgive us?

Saying it this way makes it very clear why they are doing what they are doing in the way they are doing it.

This alone is impeachable. And there is so much else besides. This is an enormous insult to every person and our literal (as in it's written down, in our founding documents) way of life.

It's way too slow for even my modernized sensibilities, so I'm pretty sure they'd explode from boredom. But it's so good!

Ohmygodyes! I have missed this game so much.

Like every protest song from Ozzy to Eddie Vedder.

Fox News being on all day at every base doesn't help either.

Supremely helpful context, thank you, fellow citizen.

No, Pete, I'm old enough to remember last year. bsky.app/profile/jayl...

I'm adding a new one: extradite.

Trump appears to be uniting a nation, unafraid of death, in a holy war against its aggressor; an aggressor that has killed hundreds of its children, bombed hospitals & aid centres and poisoned it’s capital city.

Trump has no ability to end this on his own terms. A generation-defining catastrophe.

I think the only good way out for the American people is to give them Trump. And maybe a few other cabinet members.

"You are wrong to think you're important enough to get your very specific coffee when, clearly, I'm more important (and smarter, and better looking) and want you to have boring coffee in my uniform society."

This is my new favorite version of this song. I'm not big on reality shows but I watched this one, and I love these kids. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. youtu.be/mdXQ6UsMlsE

I've been playing The Rogue Prince of Persia and one of the best upgrades is the one that tells you (most of) the power ups you'll find in each level for this run. I don't know if it's anyone else's cup of tea but I'm very much enjoying it. And I bounced off of Hades before ever finishing it once.

I will never understand font nerds but I am happy to sit at their feet and marvel.

My favorite thing about sarsaparilla is that it is best enjoyed by tasting with your whole mouth instead of just your tongue. If you think that sounds crazy you haven't lived.

I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.

This makes way too much sense. We need to end this war as a matter of national security. And by end I mean just stop. Can we extradite trump to Iran after?

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Wrong answers only, I'll start.
