Well that’s handy. When my lunch break ends, I’ll have 2 hours 20 minute left in my workday. Thanks for filling it with this, Andrew!

In dengue news, OneBlood has added safety protocols and is quarantining blood from affected areas for 7-14 days, and following up to make sure donors didn't develop symptoms before releasing blood to hospitals. If you're not in an outbreak area and able to donate, now would be a good time to do so.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

Patriots/Jaguars is the only game currently available in my tv market. This is this kind of football game that makes me grateful hockey starts this week.

"trans people require medical care for the rest of their lives" is the craziest anti-trans talking point because everyone requires medical care for the rest of our lives.

I suspect the question of what level of compromise is acceptable for someone in a two-party pseudodemocracy is one that would have a different answer for everyone. But if you're telling the people under attack that they're bad for not voting for their oppressor, you're the problem.

I don't have the time, patience, or crayons to explain to you that a politician being willing to cede any ground on human rights issues of ANY kind is objectively bad for EVERYONE. It's not a goddamn purity test and any insistence that it is can only come from people with more privilege than sense.

"Talarico ceded ground on trans rights." "SO YOU WANT PAXTON TO WIN??" Fucking "so you hate waffles" ass argument. I'm begging people to stop treating politics like a fucking sports game, uncritically supporting someone on the basis that they're "on your team". Human rights are non-negotiable.

Every politician who capitulates to the manufactured moral panic about trans rights and especially about trans children covers themselves in moral disgrace.

This is why I never cared what kind of christian James Tallarico is. He’s the kind that thinks my child’s rights are expendable so he can fuck all the way off. Trans rights are human rights. Can’t acknowledge that? You can fuck off too

If you're trying to propose to people with trans children in their lives that their lives are a worthwhile sacrifice for other Democratic priorities, consider whether you'd be convinced that your children should be sacrificed for the greater good of someone else's family.

I'm not a PR expert, but I am an ethicist, and my free advice to candidates is that acceptable responses to transphobia include: "Yes, I voted to fund healthcare, what's your point?" "My opponent peddles transphobic nonsense." "What the hell is wrong with you?!" "You, sir/ma'am, are a ghoul."*

Several years ago I painted this for a now ex-girlfriend. Many times it has occurred to me that I should pull an art heist and get it back. It belongs with me (or at least not her 🙄)

My absolute favorite thing of Dolly’s is this duet with Chet Atkins of her song “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?” Between Chet botching the lyrics, Dolly’s joke that she’s the one doing the fancy playing, her giggle at the end… it’s pure magic. Chet Atkins & Dolly Parton - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?
