We're living at the crossroads of Stupid & Evil. Wakefield started a lie, RFK Jr perpetuates it, and the gullible are manipulated by it. What's the next preventable disease to make its comeback?

As I get older, every morning is another revelation in discovering pain in a body part that I didn't know even existed.

At least this demonstrates a by-product of free speech: when awful people spew hateful messages, you discover who isn't worth your time. Speech is free, but consequences can be a deep debt, and I hope these players are afforded a quick exit to obscurity.

Instinct my ass. That's now how shit works. Either you have evidence or you're spouting lies. And you, Mr. Johnson, like the rest of your foul, corrupt party, are liars. Oh ... And release the rest of the Epstein files.

Mars peeking out from behind the Moon after tonight's occultation. Taken by my Pixel 6 Pro, through a spotting scope, through my double-paned living room window, through hazy clouds.
Mars, very close to the edge of the Moon, right after the Moon just passed in front of it.

They simply lost less
Picture of a headline from a football blog stating "Seahawks-Bears score: Seahawks win 6-3 stinker in game unsuitable for consumption.
The Seahawks (9-7) did not win. They simply lost less than the Bears (4-12)."

This is what happens when you let AI pick the playlist for the company Christmas party: it just played "Hard Candy Christmas" from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. A pretty ballad, but not exactly Christmas Party ambiance.
