My core belief is that all people are people. Reasonably well-informed, but not the arbiter of anything. I think lively debate in good faith makes us all better, but I don’t want to fight anyone on the internet. I’m gonna follow you if I like your dog. 🐶

So my immediate reaction to the announcement that the FDA will only be permitting vaccines for people over 65 was, “I’m going to die!” but perhaps my estate (the dog) can sue the administration for the Qatari jet.

Donald the Daoist spoke of “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns.” He encouraged us to proceed through the gate of darkness to the origins. Donald the Nominalist wanted to “rectify the names.” “Tariffs,” he said, “a beautiful word.” “Groceries,” he intoned.

Guess someone read “Boomsday” back in ‘07. “…or even the new reality show, Green Card, in which illegal (but good-looking) Mexicans had to make it across the U.S. border, past the Border Patrol and minutemen and fifty miles of broiling desert, to the finish line.”

Fuuuuck. I ran up that hill and made a deal with God that if I got a Pope for my birthday (today) AND it was Pizzaballa, I would consider returning to the Church. We’re at one out of two… thoughts and prayers for me, please. I don’t want to go back.

This isn’t a “1 in 8 men think they could score a point on Serena Williams thing”—I am in absolutely no way qualified—but *I* would be a better Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth because I would at least not be throwing my weight around because I’d be aware that I didn’t deserve to be there.

I struggle these days whenever someone asks me for my political affiliation. But if you really force me, I’d describe myself as a “Doordash Democrat.” Each one of my precious burritos requires its own chauffeurs. I demand treats. I *need* treats. I will invade Czechoslovakia in search of treats.

I am so grateful I can feel my leg again for the first time in two weeks! However, I now appear to be in the “covered in spiders?” phase of sciatica recovery(?) which I was unaware was a thing until roughly the seventh time I checked myself for spiders. I just want to sleep through the night again!

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.
"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement.

Pope Francis was absent from Vance’s conversation with Cardinal Pietro Parolin. However, the statement said there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”"

'Lab Leak,' a flashy page on the virus' origins, replaces government COVID sites
The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

SCOTUS decision came in while my partner was cooking dinner last night and I may have shouted, “What the fucking fuck!” so loudly that my Republican dog apparently thought she needed to leap to his defense or that of Chief Justice John Roberts, and she tried to escort me out of my own kitchen 😭
