I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

MAGA folks don’t understand that the culture of Bluesky involves everyone just blocking people they don’t like without any engagement.

They think they’re “shadowbanned” by some unseen force from above.

I'm shadowbanned on bluesky. As soon as you say anything remotely conservative, you get shadowbanned and no one can see your posts there. I can't even make fun of these folks there.

did clove oil actually work for the dry socket? I had a dry socket for weeks after I got my wisdom teeth out, I had to keep going back to the dental surgeon to get it packed with gauze soaked in some pungent mix that included iodine. it was so gross but it did work

RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

realizing that you can't meaningfully communicate through text with someone who reads poorly has made me think of how much you can really communicate with someone who isn't great at thinking. freeing and depressing in different ways

"Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman eight months pregnant—she is an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School—and she is saying 'eff Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta."

I was reading it and thinking that this decade plus grief for the love of his life must at least be for someone who died, and felt bad for him

but then I got to the end and he's talking about betrayed by humans... he's been hung on a breakup for 10+ years. grim.
