“A truth perfectionist”???? This is a terrifying critique to have. If you don’t think the truth is important, then we’ve already lost

"He even went for a carvery on the third day, before finishing the bag for dessert.

The next day - Monday - the HGV driver was sweating profusely and "did not feel right", but put it down to the pork he ate."

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.

Roughly 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers — the so-called “disease detectives” who respond to outbreaks around the globe — received layoff notices, according to a person familiar with them. The service was spared during an earlier round of layoffs in February.

She wants to live. Even with how hard of a struggle it’s been this year and how tough breathing can be, she wants to live. Inspiring.

I wasn’t sure if it was wishful thinking the last time it happened but tonight was undeniable. By the sheer power of treats, praise, and her tiny brain, this little dog has figured out the inhaler. She leans into it, does a little breath, and then pulls away.

I am weeping over my little genius.

So no one told him since the last time he said this that it's not true? How do people still put up with journalism/media/all politicians? Saying a city is on fire when it's not would be the end of every presidency until this fucking clown. It's beyond absurd.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

The d in dog could stand for any of those words. And you can personalize insults too. I tell my dog that she sucks at breathing all of the time!

I have no real clue when it comes to Hasan and his character but people getting mad at him for “insulting” his dog is pretty funny. If you haven’t called your dog a big dumb idiot, do you even have a dog?

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.
