They're not even going to stop.

Y'all know the "ceasefire" is absolute bs, right? A last-ditch attempt to get a Nobel prize and distract from Epstein. Trump and Netanyahu pulled the same shit when Trump was elected.

I hear ya. Also, being a little sleepy is well worth it; Citalopram was practically a silver bullet. It turned the volume down on my anxiety 80%, and took my depression from suicidal to manageable at the same time.

I'm on Citalopram, and if anything, it makes me too sleepy.

He's not even liberal or left wing. He's just savvy enough not to let the mask slip too much on the hate mongering within the church. The hard right clergy just want to let their hateful little ids loose, but that would kill the church.

Biden could have gotten a ceasefire with a phone call. He didn't want one.

To be unethical, they're not taking on any of the work they're being asked to. In that sense, the "agreements" are unenforceable and not worth the paper they're written on.

Well it turns out that the fine print on most of their contracts said they reserved the same right to select pro bono work as they always have. So they are now making it clear that they'll only sign on to cases they approve of, and since the Trump administration only wants

Remember early in Trump's term when he revoked security clearances for a bunch of white shoe law firms who assisted in Jan 6th prosecutions, and a bunch of their competitors bent the knee and promised to do pro bono work for the president to keep from suffering the same fate?

I think I'm going to start pretending to be schizophrenic. I bet people would suddenly figure out how to share space with me.

It used to be an asshole or two, which was bad, because even a couple assholes can gum up the works for everyone. But now it feels like a total breakdown. Assholes are the majority. Every day is an obstacle course of climbing around and over selfish dicks.

It's even worse in the park where I hike and work out. There are always a blockades of shuffling octogenarians, five in a row, ensuring not one centimeter of trail is open on either side. And then they get to workout equipment and use it as benches, or to lightly pantomime exercise for half an hour.

I just meant the pathologizing framing of autism in general.

It's shocking to see how many grown adults are apparently using sidewalks for the very first time in their lives.

I'd rather not throw neurodivergent people under the bus for that.

I want to start a pool. Which do you think RFK Jr will claim causes autism first? I will record and announce the winners in the next few weeks!

A) Puerto Rican musicians
B) Labor Unions
C) Corporate taxation
D) Queer people

Half of China has diabetes! RFK Jr actually said that!

RFK Jr immediately devours more than 80% of his bowel movements. See? I can confidently spout unhinged and fictitious statistics too!

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

It's incompatible with the white Christian nationalist oligarchy he thinks should be in control. The SCOTUS is ruling consistently with that vision of governance. But this will backfire, it's only a question of when. And America is teetering on the brink of a civil war already.
