Samesees. I miss dark chocolate, soy sauce, and Parmesan cheese. I’m going to see if I can get ketotifin at my next doctor’s appointment to help with this.

The dude has no contract with Dallas. That seems too risky for us.

Wil Ranney @wilranney.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
The fact that we didn’t get him sucks, but Dallas taking him without a contract is a risky strategy I wouldn’t want us to engage in.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

Stafford has 39 career fourth quarter comebacks. He had 8 in one season with the Lions. He once came back to win in a game with a separated shoulder.

Still time to share your thoughts on the NIAID reorg! I used this template and also added a short paragraph asking that IACCs like Long Covid, ME, POTS and Lyme be prioritized in any NIAID reorg, for example with an IACC Office or Center.

The fact that Musk himself is sponsoring so many of the anti-trans ads this cycle presents a pretty golden opportunity for Dems to point out that of course the guy who literally wants to build a gas-powered data center in your backyard wants this election to be about trans people.

It’s stupid but it’s tradition. I’m going to vote for him because I trust activists to be able to hold him more accountable than the alternative. What we really need is a state wide candidate to show some bravery and speak up for trans rights so that people can see the difference.

Wil Ranney @wilranney.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Not enough people will lose sleep over this in Iowa I’m afraid. If we had a politician showing solidarity, we could point to the alternative but there hasn’t been any great examples I’m aware of in state politics. We need someone to step up.

Dolly Parton used her gift for music to highlight the challenges of poverty, inequality, and struggle in ways that uplifted and inspired working people. “And I told 'em all the story / Momma told me while she sewed / And how my coat of many colors / Was worth more than all their clothes”
