I got my very best speeding ticket racing a cropduster on a back road into the Sandhills in Nebraska. I was doing about 95 mph in a car not even remotely built for it when I came over a hill. And there was a trooper!
He pulled me over, ran my plates, and walked up to my car with a ticket. No 'Do you know why I pulled you over?' or any of that. He growled 'Don't do that again' and left.
"At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."
- President Stinkypants, earlier today
And not a single person in the room had the guts to stand up and say, "That's just bullshit, man." Anyone who has ever taken their child for vaccinations KNOWS this is utter bullshit. It's demonstrably false. Why does this spiteful, incontinent moron get to make patently false claims every single goddam day without ANY pushback whatsoever?
As someone who works in the industry, all of this just DESTROYS me. Like, NO. ALL OF THIS IS WRONG.
As an aside, my company actively hates Trump and RFK, Jr., like not even subtly. And it's not money-stuff. They just actively hate their anti-science stupidity.
They did ask about paying five separate co-pays and how that would affect working families and he rattled off something about how they will help the families, blah blah blah, and no more was said about it.
No pushback or follow up questions or how will that work...nothing at all.

It blows my mind that I’m two degrees of separation from Bill Evans. An old friend of mine, now deceased, got the trio gig when Scotty LeFaro met his end in Ithaca.
It'll be fine until they work out how to get to the easter egg version of Excel. Then planes will be dropping like flies as they discover the joys of macros.
Pay for the brand trademark, fire everybody and sell off the assets, and slap the formerly-respectable brand name on cheap crap made on contract by the lowest-bidder Asian factory ... but keep the premium prices until the public wises up. Then buy another brand and repeat the process.
I wondered about the sudden enshittification of Eddie Bauer and Land's End ... this explains it. Not sure what to buy now ... anybody know if L.L. Bean is still good?

Trump May Have Finally Found an Attorney General With No Limits
Democracy Docket
Democracy Docket
Since he's confirmed of being listed in the Epstein files I'd guess he has has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Trump finally found his 'Roy Cohn' . . .

It was actually one of the first simulator games I ever heard of.

I do this for you.
Did you bring enough for the whole class?

And apparently they are going to break up the MMR into 3 separate vaccines. With nothing to substantiate any of this.
And putting into place laws about religious and parental exemptions from vaccines for their children.
Won't ever happen. They are all cowards.

They gonna compensate them for taking time off work, transportation, etc. as well??

That's all I have at the moment. I think it's a good start, though.

How are we for that and cream pies? We're looking to re-invent Vaudeville tonight.
Make sure to spell it with a "b", they like that.
I was really excited for a minute there. I thought he was hiring Gamera, friend to all children.

It should damned sure be cheaper.

Just keep them supplied with Red Bull and Hot Pockets and it will all be fine.

Hi Wonkets. Here is your evening Zelenskyy. I am honestly impressed with his stamina; this isn’t a President falling asleep, wearing a stupid wig, spouting absolute nonsense, and shitting himself. https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/bude-bilshe-ukrayinskih-dipstrajkiv-yaki-mayut-demonstruvati-105769
"Worse on Purpose" ... brand names that are now shit, thanks to buy-outs by private equity: https://ledger.worseonpurpose.com/status/avoid
Pay for the brand trademark, fire everybody and sell off the assets, and slap the formerly-respectable brand name on cheap crap made on contract by the lowest-bidder Asian factory ... but keep the premium prices until the public wises up. Then buy another brand and repeat the process.
I wondered about the sudden enshittification of Eddie Bauer and Land's End ... this explains it. Not sure what to buy now ... anybody know if L.L. Bean is still good?
this is why I read the Wonkette
Funny ... Land's End went through all that, and then the company has returned almost to it's earlier level of quality. But it took a decade.
Funny (not in a "ha ha" way, though), I was just reading remarks from a friend who complained that the chef's pants he had been buying for thirty-odd years have suddenly gone to shit. I suspect it's the same story.
Same for my husband's work boots.
