It looks like Dr. Odyssey is essentially cancelled. It was never high art, but it was a fun, syrupy medical-drama-of-the-week romp.

Please share this photo and story widely. There is a window of time to help this person whose life might be in grave danger. "approximately 5'8" in height, with a beard. They were wearing eyeglasses, with a black t-shirt, black pants, white sneakers, and holding a black water bottle."

1password wants me to upgrade and wants to charge me recurring fees. It looks like they're removed iCloud syncing. It all feels very yuck Have others made the cut-over? Impressions? Did anyone abandon it in favour of something better?

I'm quoting this because I like the framing of science denial. I think there's a truth there that I, myself, have not fully internalized and I think I need to let that marinate.

The Liberals are going to cut social programs to pay for gargantuan increases in military spending, and legions of politicians, media and think tankers are going to tell you it's for your own good. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Not gonna lie: I do kind of wonder where this ranks on the Treason Scale compared to Reagan's "hey Iran, don't release the US Embassy hostages until after I'm elected, and I'll reward you with illegal weapon sales."

I'm sure that the NYTimes did a thorough analysis and concluded which of those two men had the larger legal team (and thus represented an existential threat to the NYTimes).

Dems think they’re rising above partisan politics by killing impeachment. Really they’re falling down on constitutional duty. Trump illegally bombs Iran without Congress, 128 Dems + leadership join the GOP. We can’t confuse complicity for pragmatism. You don’t fight authoritarianism by enabling it.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

The Carney government is using Trump’s trade war as cover to push through a sweeping pro-corporate agenda, writes @johncke.bsky.social. Under the guise of defending the “national interest,” we’re seeing deregulation, militarism, and a renewed push for carbon-intensive energy megaprojects.

I'm sure that they'll want to spin this story as "we need more funding," but I think the reality is that cops don't actually want to make an effort with anything. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The only thing I can say about Keir Starmer is thank God he wasn't PM back in May 1940. He will go along dutifully with whatever Trump claims. Canadians would be fools to think this punter would have our back in a showdown with Trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I ordered ramen and gyoza from a new-to-me ramen place the other night. And the restaurant slathered my gyoza in some spicy mayo monstrosity. Is no food sacred....?

Supporting trans people includes trans people of color. While supporting ALL trans people is vital, trans POC experience a disproportionate amount of discrimination and violence compared to their white peers. If you’re absent when it comes to supporting trans POC, I don’t vibe with you.

Two facts worth considering: 1. The Fed is projecting GDP growth of 1.4% this year 2. Nearly every time growth has slowed to this rate, the economy stalls, and a recession follows

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

There was a commentator on Al Jazeera just now opining that Netanyahu is suddenly unpleasantly surprised that G7 countries aren’t joining in on the “bombing Iran” action. Me, I’m like…. “What…?!?”
