This piece is humorous. It also reflects the reality that good people give a shit and make decisions that reflect what’s best for their loved ones — like not bullying weaker folks, abusing power, or committing violent crimes. That’s doubly true for people in positions of power.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

I swear, this fucking city. If we want to have anything ever, property taxes *have* to go up. We can't keep devoting more and more funds to police out of a finite resource.
I'm dropping in to Vancouver city council today and can't live-skeet everything, but it's worth noting that there are currently over 600 speakers signed up to speak to the budget, which proposes finding $120 in savings to support a 0% property tax increase. #vanpoli

I've been getting bombarded with merck ads in my phone apps claiming that HPV testing is replacing the pap for cervical cancer detection.
To be clear, HPV is a predictor for cervical cancer. Testing for it does not detect cancer, just one of the primary risk factors.

This is absolute nonsense, and the VPD's shoddy investigation easily disproves them charging these folks out of concern for public safety.
(Didn't look at their website, hundreds of news articles, all explaining openly and clearly what they were doing.)

From @michellegamage.bsky.social: Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum have been found guilty of drug trafficking, after they operated a compassion club in the midst of a deadly overdose crisis.
The conviction is suspended as their lawyers start a constitutional challenge. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

Beach colour doodles. Made by wetting soft ochrey pebbles & rubbing them with a flint to release colour.
Used sticks, rolled up paper, other pebbles, fingers etc as brushes.
Will scan some of these tomorrow when I'm back home with Kitty & the cats. Just wanna share how to doodle with pebbles. 🪨 🖌️

Maybe now all the fucking democrats from carville to the blue heart crew here who keep saying the way to win is to hate trans people more will shut the fuck up
whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
