He was hated within his own lifetime for good reason!
Why spend time and energy rehabilitating the bad reputation of a sadistic man who died 420 some odd years ago?

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Exactly. This is also why military spouses are often targets for MLMs and scams as they are desperate and isolated from their support system.

I had tax residency in Latvia last year and on one day in March, everyone can do their taxes at the same time (it takes like 20 minutes tops) and most people get a refund. I forgot to hit "submit" & 6 months later the government contacted me & was like "we have money for you". 😭

Evangelical adults spent our childhoods preparing us for what happens *when* the government shoots & arrests Christians & now that it's actually happening (see Dr. Barber being arrested at the Capitol or Rev. Black being shot in the head by ICE), the same people are bloodthirsty for the violence. 😭

What an honor to be featured in this series! Shout out to @brennacgray.bsky.social for making this a reality. 🙏🏾

How does this administration find new and bizarre ways to target Jewish people? Like...it's so blatantly obvious.

Exactly. I think a lot of people forget that all the legal protections for disabled kids in the US are relatively new. This would completely affect high needs autistic kids.
The Dept of Ed is supposed to legally enforced IDEA, 504 and ADA. That's now been gutted.

First one that came to mind.
Ariel signs a contract that gives her what she wants but she loses her voice to Ursula who then uses Ariel's to destroy everything that Ariel wanted: connection, freedom, autonomy.
Don't sign the contract, keep your voice.

I think within my generation it's definitely Pulitzer-prize winning Kendrick Lamar.

That guy was beheaded in like the first two minutes of PM! The latest film was so freaky I think I blocked out half of it.

"the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

Jamacha for the win!

Kumeyaay and Spanish hybrid

I feel like my TL is pretty Bad Bunny literate but just in case you need a crash course, @beckyhammer.bsky.social is here to help.

The thing (well, one of the things) about getting AI-generated emails from people you talk to IRL regularly is that you know their voice and it's Not That. 😩

This is the big reason I tell students of English to never use AI for writing because they will never develop their writing voice or worse will end up sounding like a marketing company.

Alt text is sublime!

"I'm not sure what you're saying."
"How nice for you."

Exactly! White people learned helplessness making it weird like you have to have a PhD in Computer Science or Linguistics to migrate properly.

White people, just follow instructions! That's it! Ms. Purple Sharpie even made a video if you need someone to go step by step with you.

Tapioca/cassava is also a MAJOR ingredient in tons of foods, especially gluten free products.

I think they've added a song? What I've heard from superfans is that Act 2 is famously messy & lackluster (I've not seen it myself). I think the hope is that they've both cleaned it up and expanded the story. Film also allows for bigger scope so probably longer song sequences too.

Reminds me of the show Little Mosque on the Prairie, an episode with a convert who comes to the mosque & causes havoc with his extreme rule adherence & arrogance. The punchline is, in the end, he's so sick of the community's "hypocrisy" that he joins the local church & replicates the same behavior.

It so reminds me of kids who got to college right out of their fundamentalist churches and didn't know how to interact with people with different belief systems without insulting everyone.
The fundamentalist mindset for lots of people is still there, even if they left religion behind.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11
