It takes a toll.
4 frame comics. first frame shows espresso in a portafilter. second shows a coconut milk carton and a cup to foam milk with a thermometer. 4rd frame shows a small espresso machine making espresso. 4th frame shows a foamy cappuccino in a promotional Frozen the Musical coffee cup. The text, spread over the four frames, reads :
I wish that I could give cis
people a glimpse of what it
feels like. 
to be villainized and
dehumanized in the media
every day.
to see your existence
being legislated against all
around the planet.
to see friends and
family members vote for
politicians who promise to
make the lives of people
like you worse.

Guys: all nuances and logic aside, you give an inch they take a mile. You know that right? Don’t be stupid. If you can’t be tough on the little things, how do u expect to do anything when the chips are Really down. Act accordingly

Argh! It's Talk Like a Pirate Day! 🏴‍☠️ Our concept of how pirates may have talked was indelibly impacted by the iconic performance of Disney Legend Robert Newton as Long John Silver in Disney's first completely live-action feature, "Treasure Island" (1950).

I'm not trying to criticize anybody but, as a person on the back end of their career, let me give you this advice: Do not live for your job. Your job can be fun, interesting, even fulfilling, but do not live for it. Do not base your identity on it. Your employer does not give a shit about you.

Out of pure randomness, I checked up on my childhood (0-17) house on Redfin and discovered it was for sale. Unfortunately, the photos show it mid-flip, with what must be about the world's worst renovation. The place has been effectively destroyed. I can barely look at the photos without anger.

The Disintegration of the U.S. Military Under Trump and Beyond
Russia’s woes in Ukraine reflect its autocracy, corruption, and dismal choices. Sounds like the Pentagon under Pete Hegseth.

Despite the bloviating and sabotage attempts, Moderna’s updated COVID vaccine has been approved by the FDA. Despite the fact that it theoretically requires one preexisting condition, the list of conditions is enormously broad also if you want to JUST LIE. Personally I’ve never had a pharmacist ask
morningstar.com
Moderna Receives U.S. FDA Approval for Updated 2026-2027 COVID-19 Vaccines
The updated formula for Spikevax is now approved for individuals 6 months through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition placing them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, and all adults 65 years of age and older. mNEXSPIKE, Moderna's latest COVID-19 vaccine, is approved for individuals 12 through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, and all adults 65 years of age and older.

The Genesis GV90 makes most of the competition look about 20 years old. Too big and too expensive for me, but something similar but GV60 size could be pretty compelling.

Either @amnesty.org is an explicitly anti-trans org now or it will just cave to any bigoted billionaire. Musk has FAR more money than JKR, so we know Amnesty stand by him if he demands it, despite him being a genocidal fucking Nazi. A rights org that backs down when threatened is a paper tiger.
