Lots of advancements start with the military before going mainstream. We are test subjects. If testosterone treatment plays out in the military, it might not be long before congresspeople and others are tested to determine whether or not they are manly enough to serve or even have a job. I know FOTUS would fail that test.
Trains run on time? These asshats can’t even muster the federal muscle to stop a major food-borne illness outbreak. Incompetence I what they’re all about. I can’t wait to see our wonderful oligarch-owned press credulously reporting every word fucktator says /s.
We need our lights in order to have the courage to fight for change. None of our rights have been gifted to us by enlightened rulers, they were fought for by people a lot like us.

and if you want to make a donation so that the kids can read more banned books, that is fabulous (and tax-deductible, and will be matched through this link) too
Love her. What a fantastic idea. The things people object to is insane. I missed a trivia question on banned books because the answer was Junie B. Jones. WTF?
If you live in one of the areas out east where the smoke that’s currently over Michigan is headed, my advice is get any air purifiers you have up and running at max and close all windows and plug up any gaps with wet towels as best you can ASAP.
My bedroom air purifier, which is almost never less that 100% clean on the status meter and rarely runs at a speed setting higher than 2 out of 5 has been between 85-90% all day even running it at non stop full blast.
I just discovered that there is an elementary school in St. Louis named after President Barack Obama. That's way better than the elementary school I attended 65 years ago, which was named after General Robert E. Lee (it was renamed a few years ago).
My elementary school was named after Ralph Waldo Emerson. Different time . . .
(Of all the crap that sycophantic MAGA Republican cultists will try to name after Trump there will definitely not be any schools (or libraries, hospitals, research centers.)
the high school in San Antonio is now Legacy of Educational Excellence. Austin didn't rename Robert E Lee Road until 2018 (it was right by Zilker Park).

"The truth is, nobody knows yet what President Trump will ultimately say..."
Quite possibly the only true statement that has ever come out of Leavitt. Sundowning grandpa is almost certainly going to wonder off topic.
he'll wander off topic with in the first few sentences.
He's doing this in prime sundown time.
"wander off topic"? Will he ever be ON topic?
The topic is "mental deterioration," and he is going to be on topic all night.
Or you could spend your time reading this:

Really anything is better than Trump's lies.
And so, the Skaven are created . . .
Bald screaming foreskin beavers!
Yeah you have a banner, you ran like cowards in ‘82 so fuck right off.

Killer Kennedy rubs his hands with glee as he sees "the weak" being culled from the herd...

You know, that’s nice but people are being harmed and killed, when does vengeance and justice kick in?
We need our lights in order to have the courage to fight for change. None of our rights have been gifted to us by enlightened rulers, they were fought for by people a lot like us.
Kinda paraphrasing Utah Phillips there.
UUP was a prophet.
When enough Americans are so desperate nothing else matters.
I hope that point comes soon.
Shut down Starbucks and there'd be revolt in the streets.
Probably won't help my descendants escape when Earth becomes uninhabitable, but it's still interesting.

We should send Elon to investigate.
The Phillys game is moved up an hour. You can barely see downtown from the ballpark.
I'm sure it is completely safe to exercise in those conditions, uh huh.
I'm sitting outside, smoking.
Fuck it.
Will fans be allowed to wear serious air filtration masks?
Will players?
I’m shocked they’re still playing it.
YES!!!
ABC, NBC will not air Trump's election security speech on broadcast networks
https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-networks-face-dilemma-over-whether-air-trumps-election-security-speech-2026-07-16/
Ain't nobody tuning in on CBS.
That's interesting... let's see if it holds.
exactly
OTOH, these are the chickenshits:
"A spokesperson for the third major U.S. networks, CBS, did not respond to Reuters questions about whether it planned to carry the address live. CNN and Fox News also did not respond to a request for comment."
Assholes...
I'd LIKE to think Jake Tapper & CNN had Senator Jon Ossoff on as a pre-buttal
https://bsky.app/profile/acyn.bsky.social/post/3mqs5febqpb24
But maybe not, because, you know, Jake Tapper
Will those networks give AOC equal time to rebut the butt?
Kamala should sue them, just for kicks.
Y'all! Nice Times

I'm SO glad the Freedom Schools are back! The kids held a march for mental health awareness yesterday 💙

We’re now at 233 AQI in Minneapolis. A couple hours ago it was 355.
I think it tops out at 500, because that's where it's been all day in Cheboygan...
Stay safe.
We just passed 300. Looks like it’ll be tomorrow morning before it starts coming down.
NOW you tell us! 😃
The sky has been yellow in Boston for 2-3 days now.
It came out of nowhere last night.
It’s likely to get a lot worse out there in the next few days.
I'm having flashbacks to living in Montana, and not being able to see my car 50 feet away in the parking lot after work.
haven't seen ash fall yet, but this feels close to that down here in Chicago.
Military Leaders, note that Kegseth is authorizing testosterone level testing. AUTHORIZING. That is not the same as MANDATING.
Well, of course not.
“Man dates” are for sissies.
Isn't that gender affirming care that repubs hate?

So was my daughter's junior high.

Eons ago, I taught at Jefferson Davis High School in Houston.
Meanwhile, I went to Thomas Jefferson junior high school.
The cat picture makes me think of the French proverb that says that no woman is cold who knows herself to be well dressed.
On “The Five” tonight, domestic abuser wrestling guy panelist Tyrus said that it’s very clear we have a testosterone crisis in this country because a lot more young men are watching documentaries instead of lifting weights. Proof positive that conservatives really hate smart people, period, and consider a lobotomy to be “gender affirming care.”
What if they lift weights while watching documentaries?
Cranial atrophy is the goal. Anything else is nerdmaxxing.
Teenage boys are in crisis. "I know, give them testosterone!"
And "energy" drinks.
ANYTHING BUT BOOKS! BOOKS MAKE YOU GHEY!
And definitely don't teach them to manage their emotions.
I can almost see the lil monkey banging cymbals together inside his head as he says that.
The monkey's cymbals are misaligned, so it's all just the sound of failure: whoosh-whoosh-whoosh.
Brains versus barbells, the new "Two Solitudes".
You just know this asshole got an erection from beating the crap out of the honor students every time he repeated the tenth grade.
