I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

To end the evening here's the astonishing talent of Charles Yang singing one of my all time favourite songs, A Change is Gonna Come by the great Sam Cooke. It brings a lump to my throat and moistens my eyes whenever I hear it. Enjoy.

I just realized that this video has over 2,500,000 views. It is an assiduously patient explanation to anti-LGBTQ right-wing "Christians" about what a "bible-based" marriage really is. Glory! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFke...

I missed this, but the CDC updated the risk to people around poultry & dairy cows about a week ago. It is now Moderate to High, even though it's been that for 70 confirmed H5N1 cases now & more undetected. Now is the time to offer stockpiled vaccines to people at risk.

If we’re making lists, I think that the five bullets in CDC’s Pledge to the American People are an excellent place to start. I have been at the agency for almost 20 years, and have met very few people in public health service who don’t strive for and embody these ideals www.cdc.gov/about/pledge...
