Authenticity is when your pastor comes on stage all teary-eyed because the music was amazing, not when they can't turn their mic pack on.

@unixfg @SeattleiteLeo @DrHarryThomas I believe the space contracts are also coming under scrutiny.

@CatsOfYore I’m getting some definite Targaryen vibes from her

@PestiEsti @bestofnextdoor There is an antacid (Pepcid) that helps with allergies because it’s technically an antihistamine. But it’s definitely not something you can take to treat an acute reaction.

Would Oz be OK allowing his bodily autonomy to be decided by "local political leaders"?

[Rachel Metz @rachelmetz]

it is beyond painful (and terrifying) to see antisemitism on display in the US, and not near much from our friends outside the jewish community. this is so incredibly dangerous and it has to be stopped immediately. please speak up and speak out against hate speech NOW.

@TeamCrisman @JenaiHuff @BabeuIain @RadioFreeTom I’m not referring to 60 Minutes as sensationalism. All I’m saying is that news wasn’t even seen as a potential profit center until that show started bringing in money. Without that shift in perspective, cable news wouldn’t have made any sense.

🧵There’s a Korean bakery chain called Paris Baguette (PB) which is as ubiquitous as Starbucks in Korea. They have your café offerings like below-average coffee and mediocre French-style pastry ubiquitous with Korean bakeries. #1u

A gut-wrenching account of what long COVID can do to a person. I’ve been living a less severe version of this (caused by some other virus) for several years, and that loss of identity still hurts sometimes. It’s rough, and nobody should have to go through it.

@legendthedude @Shann_Q0 @theArdenHart I’ve seen a whole driveway contracting crew wearing shirts that say “if you don’t use concrete, it’s your own asphalt”. Apparently the company owner has some strong feelings about paving materials.

@MorePerfectUS @JortsTheCat Here I am, again today, reminding everyone that:

THE UNIONS ARE THE WORKERS
THE WORKERS ARE THE UNIONS

#NoSuchThing as a "third party" union.

Putin alone decided to invade Ukraine. Biden did not force him to do so. If Putin, God forbid, uses a nuclear weapon, he alone will be responsible for the consequences of that horrific decision, not Biden.

@soFISHtication Sharks are a good idea for the next few years.

Nail salon workers are 3x more likely to have babies born with birth defects than the general population. Many suffer from chronic miscarriages

Fuck insurance companies. I’m incredibly fortunate that my story has not been like this, and it infuriates me that this kind of experience is more common than mine.

Some *** personal news *** ! After covering this stuff for a long time, my toddler has a rare disease. It is awful to watch your child suffer. There is a biologic drug. What follows is not a special or orginal story, it's the most ordinary possible story about healthcare.
