TIL that the person who went through college talking about all the fun nights they passed up to study for the MCAT and how dedicated they were to becoming a doctor and saving lives is a PA who created an “aesthetic concierge service” med spa and it’s honestly perfect

99% sure our 9yo has Santa figured out but he’s not giving up anything no matter how many leading questions we ask. It’s a month long game of chicken that ends with us doing everything short of walking directly into his room carrying the presents on Christmas Eve

In college “don’t go to the comments section, it’s a cesspool” was a top five rule for going online without hating it and now 20 years later the whole internet is one big comments section and I can confidently say the rule still applies

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

New daily affirmation
Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

The best case scenario is that someone who says this only sees the 20-somethings who play teenagers on TV and has no idea what a typical 15 yo looks like
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

I’m not saying I control the weather, but I’m pretty sure we’d have at least four inches this morning if I hadn’t gotten the snowblower ready last night

Dinner doesn’t turn into mac and cheese and chicken nuggets every night unless someone agrees to cook it
I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

@wisdems.org this is a great idea
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

We can all have nice things and all it would take is stopping a handful of people from hoarding literally unspendable amounts of money
Also someone needs to explain to, not just Rappoport (who is an idiot), but a lot of other people too, that the premise of democratic socialism is not that everyone is poor but that everyone can have nice things and afford an occasional date night out

Mind boggling to me that the completely skipped Dino-Riders when they started making movies based on toys from the 80s. If this picture was your entire pitch the studio should still give you an eight figure budget

Best way to restore meritocracy is by ignoring experts
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

You could even say I’d be happy to pay a little more - some kind of premium payment - to the government to ensure everyone has healthcare

For everyone else on #MedSky who assumed cardiac age was made up, it actually exists
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... is the oldest paper I found. It looks like it went nowhere until someone decided cardiac age was a thing AI could do

You don’t want to be a rockstar in your career. That gets you extra work for the same pay or promotions until you’re not doing the things you liked about the job. You want to be an underground sensation - great at doing something you like with a small fanbase that truly appreciates you
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
