A tragically common cause of death before pasteurization was food poisoning in children who were being weaned and starting to drink cow's milk. Pasteurization is one of the greatest public health successes in the history of the world, and now it's protecting us from H5N1 bird flu 🧪

I have been saying since February that major media are 100% devoted to But Her Emails 2, but I didnt imagine it would get this bad. The day after SCOTUS stops the law applying to Trump, we have to scroll thru 4 fucking top stories on “Biden old” & an ad before getting to anything on SCOTUS decision
The idea that these are the top stories when the Supreme Court blew up the constitution yesterday makes me want to scream and cry forever.

I have a plan: we elect Biden with the implicit understanding that he voluntarily resigns after a year or two and gives the keys to Harris. That would work. And by that time either Trump is in jail or has had an aneurysm.

Biden could intentionally call Alito a motherfucking weasel on a hot mic and while the NYT spasms like a dead fish his polling will go up 10 points

I love this guy's posture. He always looks like he's in the front row of an airplane where the roof just flew off.

Trump watched TV every day until 1 pm, "executive time."

because i have to wishcast to stay sane now, the funniest possible twist is Trump dying before he names a running mate and a brokered Republican convention

I mean, no biggie, I've only been reading the Times every day since I was ten.
I've kept Wordle, because it's a crutch. Otherwise, I'm out.

My new neighbours are having an argument in their driveway about one of them losing the other's book of spells. I don't know what level and flavour of wizardry we're talking about here, or if they're team Gandalf or Saruman, but I endorse their presence in my street. 10/10.

timeline cleanse. please enjoy this photo that popped up in my iPhone memories of my pup Marquis. He *only* loves plushies that are as big as he is. They’re both a security blanket and a bulldozer.

Originalists just violated the principles & concerns of the Constitution's framers. The framers broke away from a king deemed a tyrant. They profoundly distrusted centralized power. They even considered an executive panel -- rather than a single president -- to not give that much power to 1 man.

My understanding is that Trump routinely deploys a tactic called the Gish Gallup. Layer upon layer of unrelated BS. Impossible to fact check. It's all lies anyway. Gish Gallup is not a new debate tactic. It's designed expressly to overwhelm your opponent. More flood the zone, so to speak.

Banning medical debt from credit reports. Cracking down on junk fees. Banning non-competes. Capping credit card fees. Negotiating drug prices. Expanding OT pay. These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

Hooray for the New York Public Library! It's going to be open 7 days a week, thanks to the budget passed by the City Council today—and all the organizers who pushed to make this happen
