“Multiplying protest frogs” 🤣

Troops to Portland still on hold, multiplying protest frogs, fact-check on Trump claims: Get caught up

It’s not clear when the 9th Circuit panel will issue its ruling, but it will likely come before an Oct. 17 hearing

The crypto market dropped about three times more than the stock market today. I don’t have any particular insight into why, but I think that’s interesting

Getting a lot of comments in my shirt today

Me, a man at an outdoor restaurant table, wearing dark sunglasses and a bright floral shirt covered in green, blue, orange, and white daisies. He has a light beard and a faint, amused smile. In front of him are a menu, a folded napkin with utensils, and two glasses of water on a granite tabletop. The background shows a stucco wall, metal grates, and patio furniture.

Suggested stunt for John Oliver: Get an embryo elected to state office in Alabama

The oldest embryos are apparently about 27 - so they can’t be President, sure - but I’m confident we could elect A. Blastocyst in some forgotten state congressional district

People don't understand that they're already paying for healthcare for undocumented immigrants - in their premiums. What do you think happens when someone lands in the ER and they're uninsured?

The only thing that would be different if we offered healthcare to them is that we would have more data

HIT ME DOC

(CW: early electroshock therapy)

Black-and-white photograph of a woman’s head held in an elaborate medical frame during an early-to-mid-20th-century eye procedure. Her face is tightlyfixed by metal rods and clamps connected to a head brace; her eyes are propped open with circular instruments, and a cylindrical mouthpiece or bite bar extends from her lips. A gloved hand holds a swab to her cheek. The unsettling scene reflects outdated ophthalmic or neurological experimentation rather than modern electroshock therapy.

The Bipolar Flag!

This was made by a cyclothymic artist who asked me to post it but not call them out. I love it. I see all of you today, even - and perhaps especially - those for whom being seen means being represented.

I will fly this proud.

The Flag of Bipolar, made by an anonymous artist. It’s divided in two by a curved line at the center, with yellow on one side and blue on the other. Each side has two black dots so when viewed differently it’s either happy or sad.

This was the inspiration for the interactive I have shared before

Just FYI. This is dated but more immediately interpretable

I just found out that this still exists AND that someone I know works there

I don't have any further comment except lololol

Plus lack of ongoing primary/preventative care, which ends up adding to the eventual cost

You get it

Live the kind of life that doesn’t make you think that not being able to hide your money is Armageddon

He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, Al and nuclear war to amass inordinate power.
The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money."

Most of this is stable sort of now, or as stable as this shit normally is. But wiping ten percent off the overall crypto market is going to really hurt for some people
