My almost 18 yr old dog is struggling and failing to stay standing and having what I think are seizures. She doesn't want to eat dog food or steak or chicken. I'm going to take her to the emergency vet tomorrow if I can get the money up, but I think I'll be coming home alone.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I am currently nursing the kind of psychic wound that causes the bad guy to lose because the protagonist started singing a song all by themselves among the corpses.
And I have to go get groceries.

If I won the Powerball I'd get a loan to start a company called 'This is just a car' and then we'd make cars without computers in them. Nope, car can't connect to Bluetooth. Nope, car doesn't have GPS. Nope, car doesn't have AI sniffing your prewarmed farts.
Can be fixed by your buddy tho.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.
President Trump brought grievances to the Thanksgiving pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. He joked about sending the turkeys to a prison in El Salvador, and claimed that last year's turkey pardons were invalid. n.pr/48nUsYx

Social security has informed us that actually they will not be sending any money this month but maybe we MIGHT get this month's month on December 14th.
That was Thanksgiving, and the other bills that haven't turned off yet, and my meds for the rest of the month. Just gone again.
