there’s a thread going round about people being surprised that Ringo Starr’s name is not his “birth certificate name,” and that got me thinking. if i had used what it says on my birth certificate i would have been going around all this time saying “nice to meet you. i’m Baby Boy” 🥚

Prison life isn't necessarily what you expect. Would you have guessed that American prisons often rely on incarcerated members of the LGBTQ+ community for their administrative skills?

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

There is hope for the future
There was an article in The Guardian a few weeks back about how Gen Z find bookshops preferable to online shopping, and a key factor was that an algorithm will offer you 6000 books identical to the one you just finished whereas a bookseller will offer you three that are different but meet the vibe.

Since Louis CK is in the news again, it's worth restating that he never gave an honest accounting of his sexual misconduct—his initial "apology" and his subsequent statements have been contradicted by the testimony of his victims, and contained elisions and gaps intended to exonerate him.

The Israeli government held an American child hostage for almost a year. He’s finally free, but too many are still separated from their families and continue to languish in “indefinite detention” with no charges. It’s outrageous.

This makes me even more rageful that a friend just had to pay $800 because her insurance denied coverage of her 19 year old's HPV vaccine, claiming that it is no longer recommended. Appeals were denied. I can only assume RFK Jr had something to do with this???
This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
