Twitch is still a thing?

A white stoat wearing an elegant tweed suit with a red vest. He holds a lantern out, autumn leaves swirling at his ankles, while an banner flutters over his head that reads "Unclench your jaw."

Hey you

The Home Depot ice scraper protest has its heart in the right place, but it's really just taking things out on the cashiers. Their job already sucks. Don't make it worse.

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Book cover of Maus by Art Spiegelman

Frame from Maus by Art Spiegelman. - You've heard what they say about Auschwitz. Horrible, incredible things. - That can't be true!

Frame from Maus by Art Spiegelman. Art has drawn himself sitting at his drawing desk on a mound of corpses.

Page from Maus by Art Spiegelman. Art's father explains that not all prisoners died in the gas chambers. Some were burned alive while cremating the rest of the corpses.

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

A Vaccine For Pancreatic Cancer Continues To Show Promise In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease had no relapse three years later.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

New science fiction novel dropped

I don't know. Sorry.

yup

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Math is hard

JFC indeed.

Good Morning World! In a few hours I’ll be joining @blackneto.bsky.social @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social and @maldhound.bsky.social for some special battles to raise funds for the Altadena Girls Fire Recovery! The chaos is happening at Twitch.tv/TableTopJocks & YouTube.com/TableTopJocks at 11 AM PST

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
