Wow. 733 measles cases so far this year. At this rate, 2026 will far exceed 2025, the worst year for measles in decades
Only 6 cases this year were imported from abroad. This is a domestic problem that will grow FAR worse when the babies going unvaccinated on RFK's watch admin go to kindergarten.

Let's do at least one hard thing we've been putting off today. Let's knock down a shame task. It's going to feel great.

One basic problem with libertarianism is they have no functional theory of governing. Their alternative to delegating power to administrators is that governments stop doing the things that people have repeatedly said they want. That is not a philosophy, anymore than sticking your head in the sand is

I may regret trying to do two semi social things with people this weekend. I am trying to build community by contributing and connecting folks, but it just generally is me pouring out to others and very little pouring back. I gotta try though.

Seeing that challenge coin, I guarantee that Patel has made some poor bastard drag an M1928 out of the armory, lube it up, and load drums for him… and I didn’t think it was possible to hate his poser ass more.
Have you seen Patel’s “challenge coins“? Absolutely cartoonish tryhard clownshoed bullshit.

Suggestions for vegan friendly charcuterie? I want to provide a snack a vegan guest would enjoy but I am also not able to spend a lot. Would some decent hummus and carrots/pepper slices be appetizing? Vegan chocolate is a thing right?
