Does our ruin benefit the earth, does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night?

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread
My hand holding a shortbread cookie in the shape of an airplane. There are red sprinkles in the pattern of the survivorship bias plane. A plate of the same cookies.

🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇

i don't throw around the word "hero" too often,
Bushart "feels great" and "could not have anticipated this experience," he told The Post over Facebook Messenger on Thursday. (He said his first meal of freedom included chicken wings and two margaritas at a local sports bar.) The ordeal does not appear to have dimmed Bushart's zeal for posting. He was back on social media Thursday, posting prolifically about baseball, candy corn and politics.

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social @rodger.bsky.social I listened to the Super kicker episode today. Texas went for 22, 42, 48, 55 and 56 yard FGs today. Missed the longest two, but they were all justified!

Kaleb Horton’s mom has written some comments and asked to spread her thanks for everyone online who’s been sharing their appreciations: “you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.”

Deborah Horton 12:06 AM Matt, I do not have much of a social media presence and have no idea how to deliver a message to all of the amazing people who have sent me messages and been so kind and supportive so if that is something you are able to do I would so appreciate it. I am so overwhelmed with my world just ending but you are all so kind and so supportive of Kaleb and I feel so inadequate to honor him with his peers. Just pass along any way that you can that you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:
“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?” “As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.” “Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present.

Because college football players also deserve a semester abroad

Sure. Please QT this with your preferred incorrect reason why a college football player is allowed to play one year of professional football in Hungary without losing his collegiate eligibility.

I am currently texting every compliance person I know for the real answer

Matt can we get several incorrect answers before the correct one? Like just full on flights of fancy before we’re crushingly brought back to reality?
