No joke: went to Academic Super Bowl party that was 1.1) the week before. 1.2) no one knew, but we were ALL in and 2.1) didn’t realize that you needed network TV to watch the thing. @AcademicsSay
@DavidAult@ErikaSanderson@NosleepPodcast Could be David! Have you read kazuo Ishiguro’s Buried Giant? It starts with two elderly Brits from the time of Arthur, and I can’t help but hear Ash’s voice!
@ErikaSanderson who is your @NosleepPodcast colleague who does so many of the British voices, who is not @DavidAult? He sometimes takes roles that are more... salt of the earth.
OMG, does Trump not realize that most coffee comes from Columbia? This 50% tariffs on Columbian goods by the end of the week. It's good thing we stocked up on coffee afterall.
This is quite incredible. The US Justice Dept, under Trump, is defending its birthright citizenship Order by arguing that immigrant children covered by the Order cannot be citizens because... the children of Native Americans aren't US citizens.
Imma gonna pay $200 a month to make a ChatBot on the new OpenAI pricing platform to just say "no" to every query. With the occasional "wtf is wrong with you. NO."
After my wife’s first miscarriage, she needed a D&C.
Her doctors were concerned about an infection.
I didn’t even know what a D&C was.
They don’t teach men about these things.
But we trusted her doctors.
Thankfully, she recovered—physically, at least.
Amber Thurman needed a D&C too.
But in Georgia, performing it is a felony.
They denied her care.
Until it was too late.
Now, her son will grow up without his mother.
Trump is proud that Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Proud that women die because they're denied care.
That’s not pro-life.
That’s a tragedy.
DANA: asks Walz about the “weapons to war” attacks from the GOP
Walz: I’m proud of my service in uniform. I’m proud of my service as a teacher. People know where I stand, and my record speaks for itself. And if it’s not this, it’s attacks on the love from my son. And I’m never going to go after anyone’s service record
BASH: you said you had IVF but it wasn’t quite that it was something else. And you got a DUI. How can people trust you?
Walz: I own my mistakes. And I don’t think the American people are cutting hairs on the difference between IVF and IVI. Look at what we’re offering in contrast to the other side and the choice is clear. We don’t want to take anyone’s right to have a beautiful family away.
For you #wot fans, I saw this sign, and for some reason thought the bittern was a real instrument. Instead, it's modeled after the cittern, but... a Jordan creation. Liked the idea of a musical detour.
