Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More

Just heard on TikTok: Conservatives are the real snowflakes. They're white, cold, and when you get a bunch of them together they shut down public schools.

Y'all. I subscribed to the Roku Channel's new offering, Howdy. It's got a lot of fun older stuff on there, but my favorite thing? That would be this featured image for Growing Pains. The giggle I snorted...

I’m really gobsmacked that folks don’t think there’s de jure discrimination against trans people. Just look at the deluge of laws targeting them. Be so fucking serious, Amy Coney Barrett.

I will say one last thing on this note. Every single caretaker my mom has had in recent weeks is an immigrant. Those of us with souls already knew that this country would not function without immigrants but certain demographics are about to fuck around and find out.

Y'all, my South Louisiana brain IMMEDIATELY read this morning's temp as 77°. I'm sure you can imagine my dismay upon the realization that it is actually 7°.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

@princessdeleon.bsky.social tried Going Dutch with Dennis Leary and Danny Pudi. What it really accomplished was me turning it off in favor of an Enlisted rewatch. I'm still bitter about that cancellation.

A tale of two pups. One waiting patiently for his momma to come home in six or seven hours. The other interested only in making sure she has the pillow.

Yet another once-promising series traveling an unfortunate path
I came late to the Empyrean saga by Rebecca Yarros. I just read the first two installments, Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, about a month ago when I found them on Kindle Unlimited. Of course I'd seen them...

We're staying at an Airbnb while between houses. There was an enormous crash, I did my version of a run out to the living room, and found this. Biscuit *LOOKED* guilty, but Nila was acting very nonchalant. I think she was trying to blame shift it to her brother. She's shady like that.

Ted Lasso on repeat got me through a big chunk of the dumpster fire's first administration. Looking for suggestions for a show for the second time around.
