It's happening.

The Vitamin.

2 Tumblr posts

cordeliaflyte
My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am
rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I
am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the
vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all
my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate
and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet
you persevered?

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Cargill makes a great point here. Cinemas lost a lot of Dads in the pandemic. We upgraded our home theater systems and we got comfy as FUCK; even with big “cinema experience” blockbusters, for all but the biggest event movies we’ll wait for Blu-ray. Take risks on NEW stories for new generations!

This isn't rocket science, Hollywood. When you make movies for Gen Z & Alpha, they pay to see them. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S opened to $80M WITH a day & date streaming release on Peacock. When you make movies for their dads, those dads have a choice between the theater or their bitchin' home theater.

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

What a horrific tragedy. This is what happens when people decide it’s acceptable for drug users to die, and when we allow law enforcement to pretend to be experts on drugs and how drugs work. It’s very likely that this man would be alive today if he had received medical care instead of imprisonment.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The whole thing is part of a push for military intervention in venezuela. right now as we skeet, the US military is actively building up forces for an attack on Venezuela. In Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean. They plan on hitting ports first.

The Nobel goes to María Corina Machado—not Trump, but a loyal disciple of his causes: backing Netanyahu, cheering Latin America’s far right, calling for a U.S. invasion of Venezuela, and dreaming of privatizing its oil. Maduro is a dictator, but this isn’t peace.

The IRS is laying off people during the shutdown, even though it was rehiring staff it previously fired because it was so shorthanded.
This one stands out because firing IRS employees costs the government money, since they bring in about $6-8 for every dollar spent on tax enforcement

IRS Halts Layoff Plans, Begins Rehiring Amid Staffing Shortages
The agency is attempting to rebuild its workforce and restore public confidence.

Treasury Department: Treasury cut 1,446 employees on Friday. Two Internal Revenue Service employees confirmed layoffs were taking place at the tax agency, which has already shed more than 25,000 employees. One employee who was laid off was working Friday and exempt from shutdown furloughs.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

President Trump received his flu shot and a COVID vaccine booster today, per the White House.

For some of his supporters, COVID boosters are used as a perjorative when attempting to insult someone.

FROM: SEAN P. BARBABELLA, D.OSK PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT CAPTAIN, U.S. NAVY
