Norway to the 🍊🤡: NO PEACE PRIZE FOR YOU!

The correct term, I believe, is “gender affirming care”.

Huh. And here I thought they hated such “woke” things as gender affirming care? 🤔

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 11d

Absolutely

Looks delicious!

Of course, I was also cursing this afternoon when I realized I had forgotten to go to the bank for foreign currency. But that, at least, I can get at the airport or hotel. The missing AirTags are my biggest irritation right now. I keep looking over where they SHOULD be.

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 12d

And I can’t pick up new ones before my 6am trip to the airport tomorrow. I’ll need to trust that my bags will both arrive with me, and I find I’m just not that trusting with my expensive dive gear anymore.

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 12d

Irony: when you realize you could really, really use an AirTag… for your AirTags.

And no, I can’t track them or play an alert sound… because *genius* here decided to take the batteries out when they weren’t in use. Both batteries were still right where I left them, but of course, no AirTags.

IDK if it’s a bot or a person behind the account, but these days the news occasionally calls for a good scream.

Just display a rainbow-colored Christian cross (which would make sense, as a combined symbol of God’s love for the world, actually). Then if disciplined or fired, claim religious discrimination.

Dost mine ears deceive me? FoxNews, asking an actually relevant question? 😱

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 17d

Oh god… this is my fear! I’m supposed to travel next week. 🥺

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 17d

@infinitescream.bsky.social, could use your input on this insanity!

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 18d

Problem is, their views of “credible sources” are so warped that they consider things like the NY Post and the National Enquirer to be factual.

Shawna L @shawnalynn78.bsky.social · 18d

Lovely!

The one general’s facepalm says it all.

A cropped shot of the audience of senior generals and admirals called to Washington D.C. by the Secretary of Defense. Some of the generals are conversing quietly with one another, some look stonefaced, some have polite smiles, and one general is openly facepalming.

An excellent reason for pettiness

Nexstar wants to merge with Tegna, a different affiliate. Sinclair is equally bad, but they don’t have anything to do with the merger proposal before the FCC.

I’m sure there are ongoing studies as more people get vaccinated against HPV, but my god, wouldn’t it be a miracle if we could eliminate one or more forms of cancer, just by wiping out this one insidious virus?

And here’s the population study showing a 100 percent success rate at prevention of cervical cancer.

If the affiliates refuse to carry the show, maybe ABC should pull their football games? 🙃

They own ESPN too, just pull all football games. Their customers would be livid.
