If you want your age reflected back at you in a truly disconcerting way, go to the show of a band you loved in high school and take a look around the audience

Lmao

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

Loving a senior dog is just endless cuddles with a furry fart machine

Lol. Lmao even

Democratic voters issued a massive rebuke of their own party last year by just refusing to show up on election day & instead of a major shakeup its leaders are spending big on consultants to find a Youtube salesman that can help a small group of septuagenarians no one likes cling to power.

Friday goat pics! Please enjoy Crockett, wally, Jack, and jack’s undercarriage 😂 #goatsky

Halfway through, no one has mentioned long Covid at the FDA VRBAC meeting. Bring it up in your comments at the above link. 🛟🩺🧪

i wrote about how some people in AA are full of shit askasoberlady.substack.com/p/old-timers...

Stealing billions of our own tax dollars from blue states like we're conquered territory and redistributing them to the ultra wealthy. Intolerable.

It’s genuinely embarrassing how much I care about my quartiles/wordle streaks

Still haven’t decided if I can forgive myself for go(a)t, but I’m posting it anyway

Asking seriously — how does @theonion.com keep up at this point?

I think it’s kind of interesting that so many cultural and political elites decided “learning loss” from remote schooling during a pandemic was so severe it was worth ignoring medical safety, while actual learning loss from AI is pervasive and growing and they all want to impose more of it on us.

You have to be the worst economist of all time to not think that treating HIV provides economic benefits. But Oster also tells people that drinking alcohol is safe in pregnancy (and most recently “a little raw milk is ok”), because she’s a dangerously ignorant grifter with no understanding of health

First good news I've heard all day

It’s 2:30 pm and I haven’t gotten out of bed—not having kids rules and I live here now

When someone knocks, check who it is before you open the door. If you don’t want to talk to them, and they don’t have a judicial warrant, you say no thank you. Cops showing up is not your opportunity to go viral with a tale about how you told them like it is. Shut up. Don’t talk to cops.

The one person a woman is married to is more likely to kill her than all the illegal immigrants in the country combined and yet none of our laws or policies seem to recognize that fact

“I never planned to write about the book proposal in this newsletter. Sure, I’d be happy to share the news if I got a book deal. But telling readers of my recovery-related newsletter that no one wanted to buy my recovery-related book? Very embarrassing.” askasoberlady.substack.com/p/the-possib...

Always strange to me that Democrats assume that moving Right gains them voters but doesn't lose them any. Especially under current conditions.

“Honey that stripper wasn’t giving a lap dance to ME — she was giving a lap dance to EVERYONE who advocates for freedom!”

The thing you have to understand about MAHA is that even along the health vectors they claim to care about, like environmental toxins, they still don’t want scientific research because hard data interferes with their actual #1 desideratum: being able to just make things up at their convenience.

I’m sorry, am I supposed to be some kind of wizard?

It’s Friday and thus time to show you pictures of my goats

trump’s gonna find some weird as shit way to take credit for USA Pope

New post + goat pics: “I was like a mama bear, only my cub was a handle of cheap vodka. If you so much as suggested that my drinking caused, exacerbated, or in any way contributed to my problems, I lashed out at you, ridiculed you, or just stopped talking to you.”

So pro-life! They care so much about those innocent children!

When you definitely know what ‘inverse’ means

I. Love. Librarians. “They targeted the wrong profession. If anyone thought that we were quiet and we were going to stand back, they didn’t know us…We will stand up for the 1st Amendment. We will stand up to make sure that libraries are not shuttered…” enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/art...

i learned about rheumatoid arthritis when I was 11 from a book called “what happened to amber?” It’s not like this is obscure shit. also, our brains need sugar to function, which could explain a lot about RFK Jr.

Let’s fucking go???

Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here. Anyone telling you you’re overreacting is complicit.
