Here's an easy way to fight back against both this unconstitutional "pocket rescission" AND pressure the administration to spend the FY24 global health funding that will expire a month from tomorrow. These dollars don't help if the government doesn't actually spend them!: act.pih.org/sept-30-fund...

I think I am now quintuple checked in to this doctor’s appointment now. At least 4 different people and 4 different electronic devices know I’m here, so they better not try to say I no-showed

At about 0:55, a couple in a nearby car gets out and hurries away with an infant in a carseat to try and escape the tear gas:

I don’t know much about Final Fantasy but if I lost to a Final Fantasy deck whose player had the ability to play the music and *didn’t*, I think I’d be a little upset at the missed opportunity. You mean I lost *and* missed out on a good bit‽

Did you study hard and take all your vaccines and Tylenol? I’m sure you’ll do fine!

That’s terrifying

I was today years old when I learned that it was a movie and not just a book

Beanedict Cumbfurbatch @beanedictc.dftba.social · 20h

I laughed at your joke, read it out loud to share the joy, then realized it wasn’t a joke and was just a presumably factual story and I merely misread. Then laughed harder

Took me way too long to realize you said *parents* and not *patients* and that it was not an unexpected story-altering punchline

Oh, actually, they very likely *will* have it online! I was just speculating, but it turns they already have a spot for it on the site, for selling anything left over from the live shows: shop.critrole.com/collections/...

I basically only know about them from a couple of Nerdfighters and still don’t *really* know who they are. Until today I assumed they were just like Rhett and Link or the American (or maybe Canadian) Gavin and Dan lol

So the poem is self-explanatory. The town: Revere. The pots and pans are Revere Ware, started in 1939 by Revere Copper and Brass Corp, from the Revere Copper Company, which was started by Paul Revere and whose mill is now a historical site requiring streets with enough traffic for a four-way light.

One man is responsible for a red light I almost always hit on my way to work, the pots and pans I grew up with that will outlive us all, the name of a town not really all that close to me, and a somewhat historically inaccurate poem.

(It’s Paul Revere.)

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Like imagine your optometrist dad going “Oh your glasses have a scratch? I can buff that out with some sandpaper.” Everyone should know better, but him in particular!

Beanedict Cumbfurbatch @beanedictc.dftba.social · 2d

It literally happened like 2 weeks ago. Something was sticking, so dad put it in a vise *clamped around the valve casings* and tried to pull some stuff. Obviously, that led to more things sticking.

The worst part? *Dad plays trumpet himself!*
