Pagliacci, now available on the NHS.
The NHS is to trial ‘comedy on prescription’ in a bid to tackle 9million people on antidepressants. The social prescribing scheme delivered by Craic Health is backed by Labour MP and GP, Dr Simon Opher who has warned against “a pandemic of over-prescription”.

If I had a rupee for every job change I've had to do because a fascist decided he doesn't like my workplace anymore, I would have 2 rupees, which isn't a lot but it's funny that it happened twice.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Hey Chat, now that I'm in my new home and new area, the next thing I need to do is renew my HRT prescription. All together, that'll be about $500 for appointment + tests + medication. If you'd like to help me with that, thank you!

Just in case anyone isn’t following: Elon did a Nazi salute twice and is now speaking at an AfD (neo-Nazi) rally in Germany.

If it salutes like a Nazi and campaigns for the Nazis, he’s probably a Nazi.

A 23 year old was very shocked to hear that I was 29 and complimented me saying I don't look a day older than 25-26. Thank God I don't look my age(/s)

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.

Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.
a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:

the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
