Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

I went to the Macy’s parade once. It was 20°. Hours of shivering endurance waiting to see family members wrangling one of the balloons.
Photos don’t capture how HUGE the balloons feel in those narrow canyons between buildings! It’s so surreal.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

FWIW: Mention books you like or you think others might like. You never know what'll happen:
I saw The Sad Bastard Cookbook here so I mentioned it on Masto (in a "in case you need this" sense). It kinda went viral (1K shares). It jumped to a high ranking on Amazon and then they got media attention.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

If you're new to cooking or don't trust yourself to recognize a bad AI recipe, for the love on god, do not just use random recipes from random profiles. Find trustworthy sites and creators (Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Alton Brown) and search their archives for what you need.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Ask any neo how many babies they have taken care of because mom got covid and ended up in the ICU. Covid is super bad for pregnant women.
This is infuriating—RFK Jr and crew are trying to discourage pregnant women from getting Covid vax, claiming they are concerned about autism. RESEARCH shows getting Covid while pregnant increases frequency of autism (and more) for the kid and puts mom at risk for serious respiratory/clotting issues.
The CDC's guidance on COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women has been off and on and now off again. But a recent study highlights the risk of COVID-19 during pregnancy, by @deldeib.bsky.social
