"No masks*"

*Unless you like, really want to wear one

Both of these losers need to either fuck off, or just quit pretending and switch parties already.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries weakened their already tepid demands for ICE reforms in a press conference on Wednesday — before negotiations with Republicans even started. “Certainly I think there’s agreement that no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion,” said Jeffries.
Schumer Subtly Pivots, Saying ICE Can Wear Masks in “Unusual” Circumstances
The Democratic leaders’ supposed demands for reform were already previously condemned as weak and ineffective.

Happy 25th birthday, PSO! (Again!)

25 years ago, Phantasy Star Online had rolled out across North America following its launch in Japan in Dec 2000. Sega brought an online RPG experience to console players, one still enjoyed through fan servers.,

Share your PSO series memories and love, peeps. 💜

I don’t know if this will help any of my other neurodivergent peeps, but you know what I’m doing a lot of now? Logic puzzles. The little grids with “Bob has brown hair and killed either the dragon or the kraken, but not on Tuesday” clues. Having to focus so intently shuts up the anxiety for a bit.

Remember, children, hate-watching is just as good as any other viewing statistics to streaming companies.

Just wait for 3rd party clips of the AI show, don’t watch out of morbid curiosity. Love and hate are identical to internet companies, indifference is what they fear

If you’re giving money to a white supremacist who put thousands of my colleagues out of work, decimated American science, and killed millions of people just so you can use a water-guzzling, misinformation-hawking racist chatbot the least I can do is make you embarrassed to admit it out loud.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Let me tell y'all about guys like Newsom, because we learned the hard way in Dallas.

Eric Johnson was a respected Democratic state rep when he was elected mayor in 2019. This made sense, as Dallas is deep blue. Johnson's tenure began normally.

But then he started hanging out with Republicans. 🧵

If you support Gavin Newsom as a future presidential candidate, I would respectfully ask you to spend just 15 minutes today doing some research. Randomly pick issues you think a Democrat should have the right answer for and look up what Newsom has said. I guarantee you that your support won't last.

Live your life in a way that will not inspire your kids to reveal to God and everyone how much of a garbage piece of shit you are.

Looking forward to another crop of estranged parents crying about how their kids dont speak to them in a couple years or so.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
