I just realized that next week, I'll be able to have a proper Pimm's... for the first time in over a decade and now I am giddy. Vacation is coming!

IDK who needs to hear this but polio and smallpox never reached natural herd immunity. They were eradicated by vaccines.

So much propaganda is being spread by ICE. They also don’t mention that the 26-year-old man they shot had legal authorization to work in the United States and was not the target of the ICE operation.

Max feeling satisfied after playtime. We won’t mention the bird who thought it safe to land on the terrace, and then became a “gift”.
Satisfied Max.

When they say cats are a reflection of their owner and you realize your cat always wants a little treat, hates new people, is a little chunky, and gets tired just from existing. 🙋🏻‍♀️

"If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough." This applies even if you're the author. In the past few weeks, 2 different colleagues have written 2 different articles outlining their latest projects. Both are written with so much tech jargon that all meaning becomes lost.

Researchers in Hong Kong developed a nasal spray for rapid stroke intervention. The system uses nanotechnology to deliver neuroprotective drugs directly to the brain and reduce neuronal damage during the emergency stage.

I get frustrated with democrats plenty. But right now, the republicans and their voters own this clusterfuck and let’s not get that confused. It would take like half a dozen of those assholes to stop all this and they won’t.

Adulting today forced me to ask someone who is in pretty bad health to get a required legal document for me. They can get it online, but still... I hated having to ask. Hated it. I want to go back under the covers now. <sigh>

In the criminal justice system, snowball-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Snowball Unit. These are their stories. 🚓

Story time… so Max is in the cone of shame ‘cause he’s again got a hot spot he can’t ignore. But the cone met the bidet handle overnight one night last week. We woke to a flood in the living/dining room. 4.5 hours of towels & wringing. Water to bidet is shut off now & forever. 😂

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Well, of course sans-serif is "woke" because its way more legible on a computer/tablet/phone. Serif fonts... not so much. But for the record I cannot believe this is a "thing". Like we don't have enough problems, now fonts are political too? OY!

"Fractional CMO" I think it really means they only know what they're doing a fraction of the time. A very, very small fraction. So small, ya can't see it.

when i was a kid, my friends and I believed when the older generation passed away there would be no more racism. We were wrong. I'm telling y'all who try to say the same about 'boomers' they are not the problem. Racism is the problem. It needs to be addressed directly. Racists indoctrinate racists.
