Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

Look at that. My insurance absolutely did cover the shingles vaccine for me. My takeaway: if someplace will let you schedule a shot, and you think you need that vaccine for whatever reason, just go! And have a chat with the pharmacy techs, who are probably nice people who want to help you.

Tw: sexual assault This is part of why in my grumpy old age I've realized that sex positivity is yet another toxic positivity and the real goal is sex neutrality. It also seems relevant that these communities have felt entitled to take from the world without asking to build their guys.

My mom said Walgreens should pay me for the ad space, but since they gave me the shingles vaccine for free, I'm kind of happy to advertise.

It is no coincidence that rationalists and EAs tend to be straight white guys from well-off families, because for everybody else, the world usually conspires to knock some sense into you about your inherent god-emperor genius by the time you’re old enough to drink.

A laptop computer open on a desk. A kitten has squeezed in between the computer and the wall to take a nap. His head is peeking out on the left (resting on the power adapter), and his tail is curled around on the right (resting on the keyboard)

Spooned-up helpers (mad that I pulled away from the cuddle to take a pic).

Two cats are snuggled up with my elderly Russian MacBook, on my bed, gazing at me curiously through half-closed eyes. One is a very very fluffy seal-pointed cat, and the other is a somewhat less fluffy void.

a formline design of a plane creature or aeromorph, with a blunt snout and big front paws. various passengers are visible through three windows on its torso, each shown to be resting peacefully, gawking outside, and watching in a more contented way respectively. the passengers seem to have vaguely animal characteristics. surrounding the plane are billows of clouds, a stamped boarding pass with a direct flight route that reads "TSM > SYN", and a swirly red line depicting the route with map-style pins at either end.
