Quarantine has me wishing I were roommates with a tattoo artist. So if any artists out there are in need of a roommate through all this, I’m your guy.

I almost bought this, because I think it's hilarious. Decided not to because only two other people will ever come over and see it, and neither of them have any clue who Paul Reed Smith even is.

The first conversation I had with my oncologist, we were just talking about his experiences as a doctor (which...awesome, it was very good to get know him a bit) and I ended up asking if people ever decide to not follow his advice.

He said yes, and he looked very sad and then he told me that every single one of conversations are going to be with him forever.

What a very hard thing that must be...to have someone turn down your advice...to not get chemo, or exit the treatment early, only to come back and find that now the prognosis is much worse and the treatment plan much less clear.

It seemed to me that, at least in part, he felt his inability to keep them on the treatment path was a personal failure. I wish I could take that guilt away from him, because it's not his fault. We're all susceptible to simple stories that give us back a sense of control, even if it's an illusion. And sometimes people cannot be convinced...and sometimes that's deadly.

I'm very grateful that my worldview meshes well with the most effective paradigms. I didn't get that because I'm smart, I got it by the luck of my upbringing. And if ever a doctor tells you that you need chemo...there will almost certainly be people in your life who tell you that you should try alternatives instead.

You. Should. Not.

You can and should do acupuncture and restorative yoga and aromatherapy and eat less sugar and whatever other things help you. But do those things AND get the treatment recommended by your oncologist. Cancer patients have control, it's just a different kind of control than we're used to, and it can be disruptive to an identity to submit to that lack of control. But that's just...having a body, and I'm very happy that I get to have a body.

I don’t care if Tucker goes to another network.
I don’t care if he runs for President of the PTA, the NRA, the homeowner’s association or the United States of America.
I don’t care if whatever he does next pays him a zillion dollars & gets him laid by an M&M.
He got fired from Fox.
And that feels fucking fantastic.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden's lawyer has just demanded an 'ethics probe' into Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Details:

- Hunter Biden's lawyer, Abbe David Lowell has just called for the Office of Congressional Ethics to review Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for possible violations of House Ethics rules.

- Lowell accuses Greene of making continuous verbal attacks, defamatory statements, publication of personal photos and data, and promotion of conspiracy theories about and against Hunter Biden.

- The letter argues that Greene's actions are not part of any legitimate legislative activity and are often unhinged rhetoric.

- Lowell identifies several of Greene's social media posts, including one accusing Hunter Biden of being "linked to an eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring."

Note that Members of Congress CAN be sued for defamation.

A 6 year old can carry a gun in public in the state of Missouri.
In Texas, an 18 year old can buy two AR-15s and 1,600 bullets in the span of two days.
In the state of Florida, you can carry concealed weapons and firearms without a background check, training or a license.

But a woman seeking a safe medication abortion cannot buy mifepristone.
