Sure, bad things can happen from getting measles: Death. Blindness. Retarded intellectual ability. But vaccines, with rare exceptions, are the threat to individual and public health.
"The virus can lead to brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including blindness, deafness and intellectual disabilities..."

Forty News - Exactly 40 years back, these felt huge. See how they landed with time. A reminder that urgency fades, context grows, and perspective is a habit.

Fuck is not enuf. Any suggestions?

What did Madeleine Albright say about women like Bondi?
November 18, 2025 at 7:14 PM
Yes, this is the right response.

But I also think we need a new name for those pieces of shit like Mike Johnson. Fuckhead, asshole, asshat, pieces of shit, and the like no longer fit the bill.

Anyone?
Lmaooo

Come on, Larry Summers: Resign from @harvard.edu immediately. NO student deserves you as a teacher. You have no moral authority. Your judgement is, at best, highly questionable. You have NO business being around young people.

Oh, hells no.

Conservatives want to allow pregnant women to park in disabled spaces www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

First, pregnancy is NOT a disability.

Second, there aren't enuf spaces for those who are disabled and need such spaces.

Let me repeat: Oh, hells no.
Conservatives want to allow pregnant women to park in disabled spaces
Republican lawmakers are supporting measures that would allow pregnant women to use accessible parking spaces, drawing opposition from disability rights advocates.
