I solved this problem by being 21 years old and stationed with the Army in Italy, where wine is by far the most cost-effective way for a broke 21 year old private to get drunk while out on the town.
Why does it sound so much grosser to me to chug a glass of wine than a bottle of beer, even though I LIKE wine and don’t really like beer?? why???

Watching niche sci-fi fandom drama unfold on TikTok and from a purely shallow perspective if two people are beefing about sci-fi and one has styled hair and a put together outfit and the other has unkempt hair, is wearing whatever, and has a cat crawling over them, sorry I trust the cat person more.

TN-07 is interesting because it's a very heavy military district. A lot of people I knew in the Army ended up retiring out there because housing is pretty cheap and you have easy access to Fort Campbell (which straddles the KY-TN state line) for healthcare.

As a fan of HIPAA, a thing we lost with it and earlier privacy rules was the ability for journalists to go into hospitals and doctor's offices to document epidemics.
A lot of the public support for the eradication of polio came from photos of polio wards, and those aren't possible anymore.

This is probably the result of a ghostwriter using a mislabeled interview transcript but it's still pretty embarrassing for Cynthia Erivo, who narrates the audiobook herself.
Here's something weird my neighbor Cassie pointed out: Chapter 42 of Cynthia Erivo's recently released book "Simply More" is almost verbatim words spoken by Ariana Grande in an interview a year ago. Grande is not cited or listed as a contributor or attributed in the book in any way. Weird!

Unpopular opinion but this is exactly why I think Taylor Swift should continue to say nothing about them using her songs in their dumb videos. The Trump administration want the news to be focused on their dumb feuds with popstars and not on things like the war crimes they're committing.
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.
In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

Hepatitis B at birth was the one vaccine I honestly struggled with a bit. It's a blood-borne or sexually transmitted illness, and I knew for a fact that both my husband and I were ourselves vaccinated against it because the Army required it.

Data supports current US policy of hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, as officials push for change
An independent review released on Tuesday by vaccine experts of more than 400 studies and reports found that long-standing U.S. policy of giving the hepatitis B vaccine to newborns has cut infections in children by more than 95%.

Everyone on the left could stand to give in and embrace the notion 'James Cameron knows more about what the people want than you.' And he uses this superpower to get people to see movies about climate change, corporate greed, police brutality, imperialism and saving the goddamn whales.

Bad news for Hegseth, it turns out the Pentagon is a big bureaucracy filled with people who got there because they know how to fight bureaucratic battles and they will wait for you to lie about something then leak details about it. Who knew?
A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).
Wall Street Journal:
"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

I have finally finished my season 1-4 rematch of Stranger Things and am slowly beginning season 5 and damn I am dreading all the references from A Wrinkle in Time. I first read that book when I was eight and I am prepared to gatekeep the fuck out of it if they fuck this up.

Everyone is complaining that the cast of Stranger Things is too old for their roles but they're all, like, 21 playing 15-16 year-olds. That's just standard CW high school TV show casting.

Really a testament to Grant’s terrible finances that even another guy famous for terrible finances was like “hey man this is a bad deal”
The only reason Grant wrote his memoirs is he was bankrupt and dying of throat cancer and was desperate for a way to provide for his wife after his death. And he would have signed a terrible publishing contract for them if Mark Twain hadn't intervened.

It's still very bizarre to me that the education system's response to AI cheating has largely been "we will rely on AI, a system that has been widely criticized for making things up, to tell us if you've been using AI"
I get plagiarism checkers but the "run a paper through a computer program to see if it's AI written" process seems.... flawed.

I have the feeling this lady is getting very annoyed with me because the emails are getting terse now.
Had a kind of terse conversation with a school psychologist today which I would normally feel slightly bad about but don't tell me that multiple category disability IEPs "aren't really a thing" when I know damn well they are explicitly defined as their own category in IDEA.

If you've ever wondered what giving birth without an epidural feels like, read Stephen King's Dreamcatcher. The part where an alien parasite is burrowing it's way out of a man's anus on the toilet - when it feels like that's about to happen, that's when you need to start pushing.
