KAMIKAZE L'AMOURwww.kickstarter.com Nervous Breakdown Edition

Pisces: TODAY IS ALL CAPS DAY EVERYTHING IS CAPS CAPS ARE CAPS HATS ARE CAPS CATS ARE CAPS CPAPS ARE CAPS THE CLAP IS CAPS wait, no. Gonorrhea is actually a very serious problem as it has become resistant to a long list of antibiotics so why the hell are you not using condoms?

Aquarius: Your secret identity will be discovered today. Why you have a secret identity different from your regular identity, considering both are so incredibly boring, no one really understands.

Capricorn: You will meet a man named John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Then another. And another. Everyone is named John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. You too are named John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. All things areJohn JacobJingleheimerSchmidtJohnJacobjingleheimerschmidtjohnjohnjohnjaschjojinglescmij

Sagittarius: Today you will learn that the root of your sign from the Latin "sagitta", meaning arrow, also applies to the word "sagittal", which in anatomy is a plane parallel to the median dividing the body into left and right halves. This lesson will be taught via machete.

Scorpio: Nothing really new today. You're still a horrible person with a list of sins so long there isn't enough paper to write them on. You know, the usual.

Libra: You will become the unwitting spokesperson for THE TURGIDATOR, a device for pumping up... things. More things than you maybe realize. But don't worry. You'll find out soon enough.

Virgo: No horoscope for you today. Why? Because you're dead. You kicked last night and now you're a zombie. Brain cravings should kick in any time now. Go someplace where you can get a lot. Like an old folks home. They don't move very fast. Which is good because you don't either.

Leo: Today after saying Candyman in the mirror five times he will appear but he only has those really shitty chocolates you can get for twenty cents a pop after Easter and he's charging a buck fifty. Can you believe that? What a ripoff. Also he murders you with a hook.

Cancer: You will retrieve Ur-shanabi, the plant of immortality, from deep within the ocean only to have a snake eat it when you aren't paying attention. A snake. Yeah. One snake and you're doomed to an eternity in Kur taking it up the ass for Ereshkigal. Fucking snakes.

Gemini: You will find an old man on a mean street who will give you the cryptic message, "And someone said fair warning. Lord will strike that poor boy down. Turned from hunted into hunter. Went to hunt somebody down." Don't worry. Just point him back toward Vegas. He'll be fine.

Taurus: You will acquire mind-reading powers today. Unfortunately, all you can sense is other people's porn preferences. Use your power wisely.

Aries: You will be swarmed today by a gaggle of astronomers when you begin to emit radio waves at 1400MHz and are mistaken for a newly discovered pulsar.

"Again" implies we ever stopped.

A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Yep, people are getting COVID againwww.seattletimes.com A seasonal COVID-19 wave appears to be underway with cases growing or likely growing in 39 states.

*whispers* The Scarlet Fever pandemic lasted 40 years.

Why does anybody listen to the New York Times?

"The preliminary results upended widespread predictions of a clear victory for the National Rally," says the NYT just now. Wait, who made these predictions of a massive victory for the National Rally again? Oh yeah, these guys did:

And they didn't even need the guillotines! Honestly, I was kinda looking forward to the guillotines.

I am enjoying this week a lot.

The only thing the GOP knows how to do is punish people for the crime of being poor.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

It’s also McCarthyist claptrap that reduces all human imagination, empathy, and ingenuity into “I Gave You All the Clues Mister Police,” which, to be fair, is the reading level at play in the scenario.

i am really, REALLY not okay with the idea that someone writing about sexual assault means they must be an abuser. for one thing, the vast majority of art about sexual abuse is created BY THE VICTIMS. the idea that depicting abuse makes you an abuser really fucking pisses me off actually.

This seems bad.

I know the latest NZ election outcome was less than good, but jesus.

My god, they've made a Mechanical Trump.

Well this is grim

"¡Bienvenido al Ammo Bandito!"

welcome to Rapture

What’s that word for having a punchable face?

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

I’m sure it won’t be the last.

I think this is the first time Musk has suggested fellow Americans should be executed.

Joe Biden refusing to take advice from people who have been wrong about everything for decades could be seen as an indication his brain is still working
