The job data is fake. I can tell you that. Because it says that healthcare jobs are growing and I've been seeing layoffs for a year. I remember the Great Recession and this is...not good.

I'm just over here watching the Catholics contemplate a gay saint wondering how much is real progress and how much is an op to convince everyone that don't worry, the church loves the LGBTQ+

The risk to the average person of dying of measles is low because most people are still vaccinated. The problem with measles is that you can recover from the acute illness and still die from measles years later. And any preventable deaths are not reassuring.

We don't have the right type of indoor heating here to make this work, but if they're going to insist on these things, finding a way to use the hot water seems logical. (Could the hot water be used for a power plant or is it not that hot? Cause then they'd make their own electricity.)

Some cats are mean. I have a cat that bites feet and swipes faces and has stalked my head. The cat got stuck after stalking my head and taking some swipes. I had to rescue it. This cat is very stupid. He picks fights with outdoor cats twice his size. (It is impossible to keep him inside.)

What if I think it's very weird people lose their "voice" and everyone starts sounding the same. What if the perfect framework that everyone is writing in is a bit triggering because it's reminiscent of the style that the preachers of my childhood used.

I'm really skeptical about this new "more people of faith on the left" thing because I think it's just that the Overton window has shifted because "I'm making this political decision because god spoke / did not speak directly to me" is very reminiscent of how 45 got elected.

Meta is driving me bonkers because if the "your state is red, you deserve it" hasn't been bad enough, now everyone wants to find some piece of data somehow to prove you "voted for this". (Spokane is in a red congressional district, so Spokane voted for this. 🤦‍♂️) Only Southern CA is pure enough.

Brett Hennrich has seemed sus ever since he's been running in WA-3 as a guy originally from Portland, went to LSU, now building cinemas in Vancouver. I don't know how to find out who is behind candidates but right now he seems to be unofficially supporting her opponent.

No, I do not in any way endorse #MGPisGOP. She does not deserve another term to stab us in the back while at the same time collecting lifetime benefits as she will get over year 5 of service. Do not vote for MGP unless she earns it.

Yes, there is a recognized pattern around here of who returns our ballots late. The people who said "vote early, vote often" are still voting early and their votes get counted first and some of us mostly vote late...and this is why races don't get conceded until every vote is counted.

I remember a close family member with severe mental health problems, discussed if he was end-stage...before receiving several treatments that either treat the immune system or inflammation. It's made a huge difference. It's easy to have anger. But we didn't know, and many of the meds didn't exist.

I think that the issue is that most people's wages have not risen appropriately since Reagan. It is not possible to do what y'all say. I say this as someone who mends my *underwear* and tries to thrift. (Also, I need underwear that doesn't have pure biodegradeable latex in it. I'm allergic.)

We didn't have enough masks except for cloth masks. Cloth masks only sort-of work. We were either very close or did run out of vents depending where you were. We had an oxygen shortage. The amount of death if we didn't mitigate would have been so much worse. It was already very bad.

Well, there are Dems that changed the subject when confronted about trans rights (Ferguson), Dems that said we should follow the laws which gets you very mixed results (Harris), and Dems that opposed certain trans rights (Sherrod and Allen). There's Dems who won't commit to LGBTQ+ rights (Chaudhry).
