General strike whenever you’re tired of all this.
I’ve had several family members in need of canes and the two biggest pieces of advice I can provide are:

- Make sure it’s the correct height
- Use it on your stronger side (unless otherwise directed by a professional)

Also, medical supply stores usually have folks that can help you out

A general strike could stop this and many other things, but there’s no organization around the idea, and most people don’t have the stomach for it anyway.

Given that the Dems are basically just doing messaging (on shit they think will cause maga to go woke, it won’t) and the EU isn’t spoiling for a fight with its rich asshole of a little brother, is it not inevitable? POTUS is in full 'might makes right' mode. That’s his whole gambit.

I’d love to see Deborah Chow and Tony Gilroy overseeing creative. It feels like those two as a team would deliver a more cohesive stable of shows and films

Way more problems caused by this than solved. In addition to the security concerns, it’s a felony in some states to not get informed consent before making a recording

I mean at the very least it would be simpler, and you wouldn’t know that it’s actually harder, but you wouldn’t know how to read so…

You’ll never be the same, in a good way.

Literally said out loud, oh nice. <Batemen.gif style> and my wife said, “What are you looking at? (shows her phone), I knew it.”

Joke’s on them. With Maduro out, in the minds of the administration, it could mean Venezuela is free of the dangers that gave some of them TPS, humanitarian parole, or asylum.

Not by default (we’re not to my knowledge unless they change something), you have to use an app/ subscribe to an account like bsky.app/profile/list...

It feels like a smokescreen. By allowing these images of himself, he can invoke "free speech absolutism" and absolve himself of responsibility for the other images people are (with good reason) unhappy about.

Taking this into negotiations and slowly turning the handle towards the opposition as I present my counterproposal.

Bizness guy: “What… what is that?”

Me (🤷🏾‍♂️): “Idk, what do you think it is?”
