“You don’t have to wear a mask here” Ever since hospitals dropped mandates, healthcare workers have been pressuring patients to remove their mask. They say it’s not needed, it’s safe, “you won’t get covid here” I watched this happen in a high risk cardiac clinic recently 🧵

I know the cruelty is the point, but Christ, a plan like this one is only a short step to a final solution.

The Medicare.gov website has very clean, easy to use interface with a large font coded in. But once you get to the insurance plans for your zip code you need a dictionary and glossary to understand a word. #health

I spent the week devouring detailed and jargon-laden documents to choose #Medicare Part D and Medigap plans for myself. And so far my brain has not exploded from the nonsense. #health

This is such great news! I hope the national D party gets a clue.

Are we a *country* or a collection of fiefdoms? What the Hell? If you are born in this country (the US) you are a citizen. #birthright

SCOTUS has fucked us They torched our Constitution It's really over #Haiku #PoliticalHaiku

Noooo, not 666 posts!

This is the template now for all business calls: National Drug Chain's AI: How can I help you today? Me: Speak to pharmacist. AI: I can help you with many things, how can I help you? Me: Goddammit, I just want to speak to the pharmacist!!! AI: OK, transferring you to the Pharmacy. #AI #goddamAI

For one thing, it’s a call center, and people tell me I sound like a recorded greeting. They’re tempted to press 1 or yell “agent.” So am I a robot?

Every day my work software asks me to prove I’m not a robot to the point that I start to doubt myself. #MondayBlues

Which is why some folks can’t listen to the news, and have to use baby wipes. 😱

Know Your Rights Information🚨 ICE has been arresting people at immigration court and routine check-ins across the country. If you or a loved one is in this situation, know you still have rights.

Trump made up a new term “MIGA” for Make Iran Great Again. Disgusting, authoritarian and imperialist slogan that will further unite Iranians 🇮🇷 in nationalism. They may dislike their government; they dislike the US more. #Iran #war

I swear I removed the gummy bears from the car, but not so much.

yes it's unconstitutional to for the president to declare war without the approval of congress, but I don't want a congressionally-approved war, either

I'm staying at a friend's house during the current "heat dome" in the Midwest US. The water heater appears to be broken, but cold showers are not a Big Deal at this time.

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.

It’s hot for all today.

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

When Hegeseth smugly stated how Iranians would react and feel after being bombed I nearly lost it. The US will never understand how other countries feel about decades of the US installing leaders, killing leaders, placing sanctions, then bombing their country.

Listening to the Pentagon press conference is making me nauseous. Best military ever in the world in history, bah, blah, blah, fuck you.

I remember during the first #Trump presidency I had to frequently check the news to see what the hell the crazy man had done and who had he bombed. Then came the Biden calm. Now the crazy is back, and I have to monitor the news 24/7.

I’m still obsessed with windmill farms. I saw them again on my return trip. To me they represent eternity—they continue to turn no matter what we crazy humans do. And if they ARE Eternity, they represent that concept while free of all religious baggage. At night they have lights!

I prefer the original from my childhood. Of course I’d prefer no war at all but damn. youtu.be/ztZI2aLQ9Sw?...

US dropped a bomb, who’s next? youtu.be/oRLON3ddZIw?...

The US just dropped a bomb or bombs on Iran to make America Great Again??

Today’s lonely wild mushroom.

The MAGA base of the GOP is divided about war in the Middle East. But it’s more than that: there’s a large openly anti-Semitic contingent of MAGA that mainstream media is ignoring. Check out THEIR media such as GAB dot com.
