If advances in tech were improving diagnosis rates and that was all that was happening fewer people would be dying of it before they even reach the age when insurers will pay for testing

My bff is a high school teacher and can verify that the (freshman) children are absolutely mobile gambling in high numbers, an activity that *already* has laws defining it as an adult-only activity requiring age verification

Like I could appreciate someone who would be crossing the “eligible for social security” line during a term pledging not to run again after that, but “no worries, I’ll only do one term” is way less reassuring when you have to survive to 85 in order to FINISH the term in the first place!

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

The response to “you should do [illegal thing/violence/technically legal thing guaranteed to rile up the watching cops]” should ALWAYS be “you first tho”

Followed by, obvs, not actually doing the thing even if the person you found is just an idiot rather than a fed

I would actually suggest that if someone is aggro and trying to start shit, talk to people *around* them and see if you can get them all to walk off and leave that guy alone. Don’t give feds cover!

Why? There’s SO MUCH incredible new stuff out there to hook new readers into the genre, and if they really want to once they’re in the classics are still there.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
