Anybody in or about Dallas looking for patient-car equipment? I have a hydraulic “Hoyer” patient lift with two slings, a home hospital-type bed with linens and several walkers. Thousands new, I would like a little cash for them if I can get it.

"The men appear to have barricaded the entrance to the bank, spray painted the security cameras, and ordered the employees to lie on the floor. We're watching now to see if they do anything wrong."

Thinking today about the banker in STAGECOACH (1939) who proclaims that we need "America for Americans," lower taxes, and "a businessman for president" and ends up getting arrested for embezzlement.

To help people understand the importance of NIH, share what you’ve used their funding for (in easily understandable terms). I’ll start: my NIH postdoc funding helped me develop and test AI tools that could identify skin cancer across diverse skin tones.

The premiere of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in 1984. It created a media climate that glorified greed, vapidness & excess while creating an unearned aura that rich people were better & smarter than us while catapulting charlatans in the national eye, particularly a real estate conman from NYC.

I just encountered a SCURVY denier on facebook. SCURVY. Claimed sailors didn't die of it. Never happened. Profile was covered in anti-vaxx nonsense, which is unsurprising, but like, why deny scurvy??? The cure is FRUIT.

Bluesky, can you help me? I’m in the market for a food processor. Nothing huge, no bells and whistles, easy for a disabled hobbit-sized person to handle. Real buttons, minimal settings. No fuckin wifi. I just need to chop things and my poor hands can’t do it anymore.

This is wild: The three leads of STAR WARS did a local Chicago talk show a few weeks after the movie was released, and took questions from a group of Star Trek fans. Also wild: This video probably hasn’t been seen in 48 years. youtu.be/sxzl5k79Z1c?...

I know it must seem that predation by cats is “natural,” but in the context of the natural world, it is not. Domestic cats are an introduced species, and birds did not evolve to understand how to evade them. Keeping cats indoors or on a leash is safest for everybody.

The chair of the Texas GOP said Tuesday that church-state separation doesn't exist as Republican lawmakers vowed to give the Legislature "back to the Holy Spirit" and pastors promised to continue attaching the Johnson Amendment and weed out "cowardly" clergy who wont politick from the pulpit.

I'm so heartbroken to see all the homes destroyed by the firestorms in Greater Los Angeles —for both people and wildlife. This palm tree on @caltech.edu campus was once a food bank for resident acorn woodpeckers. My photo was taken just five days before the disaster. #wildfires #birds

It shouldn’t even be necessary to have this discussion, because there is no logical argument against ASL interpreters to begin with. However: This is exactly true. Captions for a Netflix show are usually pretty good! Captions for a baseball game miss things, run behind and can’t catch up, etc.

I’m reminded of my nephew’s college graduation, where the closed captions called Lucinda Williams (an alumna) “Miss Cindy Williams” and rendered something the university president said as “the sex hand sign.”

There is a persistent myth that if you work in entertainment - if you've done something people have absolutely heard of or enjoyed - that you must be rich. Actors, writers, producers: rich. The sad truth is most of Hollywood is working class. So when you see a Go Fund Me, there's a reason it exists

Greater Houston folks, we're doing this again. Does anyone need any of the furnishings in this photo? Dresser is solid. Sofa would need cleaning. Shelving unit is cool but won't fit in our house. LMK I've also offered everything up to the staff. Will be cleaning this out over the next 2 weeks.

The temperature has been dropping slowly all day - now 50F with a freeze expected tomorrow morning. Glad I caught this Downy Woodpecker before the cold arrived. I like the way his left foot is balancing on the rim. #birds 🪶
