When the leopard eats your bffs face, you realize that you probably want to avoid a similar fate.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country." The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

All ten of the PA Republicans in the majority sold out their constituents tonight to help Trump and their billionaire donors. These GOP Medicaid cuts would devastate families and PA’s economy.

Any waitstaff clearly younger than me that calls me miss rather than ma’am gets a significantly bigger tip.

Shaggy with the PSO? Fascinating. pittsburghsymphony.org/production/9...

It all comes down to having a capacity for empathy for family, friends, and strangers alike. I really don’t know why we can’t get there with our big ass brains. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/o...

Those kids in the Zoo who booing and say nasty things to the bench could learn something from this.

Dear Manager: 1. Is it worth it? 2. Let me work it 3. I put my thing down 4. Flip it and reverse it 5. Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i

Maybe subbing a kid here and there would help.

Uh Jeff what are you doing

Assuming this is actually Oregon that Pitt is playing

Good news is Pitt can’t take me any lower.

Turns out I am not at all alone in such thoughts.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

The kinds of issues that we should actually be targeting.

I don’t have it in me today

As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.

The kids are all right

If you drink enough wine and watch enough L&O you can almost convince yourself that Benson and Stabler will save us from Trump.

I’m sure they plan to do some rigorous statistical analysis.

Recommend anyone who hasn’t gotten a Tdap in the last 5 years get one asap cause pertussis is gonna run absolutely wild soon.

Good thing I don’t have to worry about this as a Pitt fan!

This is the worst first quarter of a year I have ever experienced.

Choosing to learn about cutting edge musculoskeletal research today instead of experiencing Pitt.
