*We have largest measles outbreak (inc. 3 deaths) since declared eliminated in 2000
*Deliberation misinformation, i.e., outright lies, from HHS undermining vaccine confidence
*Massive cutbacks in critical research and CDC staff are & will be endangering lives
* Lies abound re. Tylenol & autism

Watching a trailer for DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE and remembering how awesome @warrenzanes.bsky.social's book is.

These are the Jays I thought the Mariners would face in Toronto.

Said the same thing hours ago. It's still true.

As good as some of his ideas are, he is a speaker, a talker. That's all.

Giving even just pennies to that psycho running the joint is too much for me to do.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 13h

Yes

There's a new book about the subject of that song.

I hope they have a wonderful time on their trip and that everything goes well for Shelby's dad when they return home. Big changes.

Good grief. Another homer?

Get it out of their system now. Empty the tank before the next two games.

I miss the mutuals in the book world and progressive movement but not enough to go back to Naziland.

Not a chat problem. Think it's an elderly laptop problem.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 13h

He always goes to that. I had an online friend 30 years ago who did the same.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 13h

Well, I cannot abide checking in over there while the Boy Who Misses Apartheid is running and ruining the place.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 13h

I think they are brave for flying right now. I don't have an enhanced ID so cannot, but would not fly right now any way.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 14h

He does post there, but I don't think as much as we all used to do.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 14h

Crap. Seems like it's an essential part of what's going on.

Another reason to belong to wine clubs.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 14h

This should scare all of us.

They also grabbed a US citizen clarinet player who assaulted them by playing Ghostbusters

They then moved her to another state in the dead of night

How many people arr being kidnapped

More important than even a deplorable despicable Nazi text chain that the F*ing VP of the US is defending

David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 18h

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 14h

Oh man. Knew the Jays were too strong a team for this to not happen. Game's still not over though. #TridentsUp

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 14h

Very frustrating. I remember when this happened at the other place when the Boy Who Misses Apartheid took over and messed it up on purpose.

I expect better here.

Lynne Perednia @perednia.bsky.social · 14h

Oh crud. Then a wild pitch gives the Jays a run, while the next hit blows things open. Crud, crud, crud.

The Dumper showed why he is good at being a catcher as well as his at-bats.
