It's Friday the 13th guys remember: investigate all strange noises on your own, go to that house where the murders happened twenty years ago today, have loose casual sex, drink lots, the person in the mask is just your friend being silly, skinny dip in the lake and above all else just have fun.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

People think Democrats don't have guts.

For the latest at my fun side gig, The Living South, I talked to @abreezeclayton.bsky.social in NC about getting off the mat, punching back, and what she means when she talks about "a new South."

Liberals think Democrats aren't punching hard enough. Is NC's Anderson Clayton the answer?
There is a line of thought that Democrats don't have guts. North Carolina's fiery liberal leader wants to change all that.

Okonski return with Entrance Music, revealing the flipside of the perpetual afterhours reverie of Magnolia. For their 2nd outing, the trio gently open the curtains to find themselves in the light of a new day, unimpeded by anything that isn’t melody or mood.

Thank you, Trump voters.
Trump just literally eliminated an Executive Order to reduce the price of prescription drugs. They are ripping you off, personally. They never gave a shit about the price of anything.
