@IveyJanette He raped girls

@SeanCasten Or his likely child rapes

@Viss "inadvertently granted him a sneak peak"

SNEAK PEAK

God, how I hate today's editor-free media.

@VeroniqueB99 These are some sick, sick fuckin people

@cstross While this idea is quite different, for some reason it reminded me of the Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. Series by Kevin J. Anderson, which I enjoyed quite a lot & wished there was more of.

@APBBlue I love it

@semiotic_pirate That's from 2025. Today's decision was that Trump tariffs were illegal. Should have been 9-0. @petergleick

@wdlindsy $336k a year navy pension
Holy shit

@msbellows @wdlindsy Congress members have almost entirely been or claimed to be christians throughout our history. Through a large portion of my lifetime though it wasn't considered a necessity to frequently talk about that in the context of doing the job, and would serve as a reminder of the vaunted separation of church and state. Since moving to AL where candidates are basically required to proclaim their devout christianity to have a chance, I've become very aware of this sort of talk as a foothold for lawmakers to wedge their religion into laws that govern everyone, and I'm extremely against it.

Given two candidates with policy platforms that are at least "good enough," I will choose the one who doesn't talk about religion.

@overholt That's a genius little app

@blogdiva My first grandchild was born via c-section and second one normal birth about 18 months later, no problems. My daughter was in the Army during those years and very fit.

@Karen5Lund Fascinating. So I guess that modern history course had like zero women taking it or they simply didn't care to complete the assignment

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning... Smells like victory... Someday this war's gonna end." The amoral LTC Kilgore whose humanity, if he ever had it, was completely subsumed by the act of making war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE03Lqm3nbI

#RIP Robert Duvall. He was a military brat, his father was a Navy rear admiral, and he served 2 years Army enlisted before going into acting. His original role in Apocalypse Now was "Colonel Carnage" but he used his experience to tone the character down, which some viewers might find surprising considering LTC Kilgore was still a bit extreme, but played authentically. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/robert-duvall-dead-godfather-apocalypse-now-1236506861/

Late, but check out this valentine from Seattle & King County Public Health Dept., Washington

@mike Been doing it since the day I first encountered it

hear me out: guillotine emoji

woah

I think I've deduced the reason for my sporadic shortness of breath (SOB) for the past couple of years: iron deficiency. I've taken famotidine for a long time due to GERD, sometimes I try to stop taking it and eventually the GERD comes back. And the SOB comes and goes...perhaps in a lagging relationship with the famotidine use (?) but I don't have the data to confirm that. Well recently I was pretty frustrated with the SOB and my doc had no ideas. I almost went to see a cardiologist but I canx the appt after I kept digging for the most simple answer and came up with iron deficiency, which has variously been associated with both acid reducers and shortness of breath. I started taking an iron supplement daily, maybe 3 weeks ago? And my breathing now is FINE. After 2 years of off & on SOB I think I cracked the case. I have a checkup in April and will be pleased to report the end of this long term issue. #medicine #health

@petergleick I don't have any subscriptions but I make occasional donations to The Guardian and ProPublica. I use my library for a lot of periodicals/magazines.

@sundogplanets Maybe that's what it's going to take to teach the world and especially the U.S. that the billionaires should have been loaded onto a rocket and shot right into the fucking sun
