frustrated, cranky, mostly happy 30-something trying to figure out what it means

@Matt_SMR @Garnet_2203 There are physician shortages everywhere. Including in the US, where I have to wait 2 months to have a 10 day follow up for an inpatient hospital stay.

@SydneyLWatson In January, we decided to pause trying after February because we didn't want a Christmas baby. We got pregnant and had a November baby. In hindsight, it's a good thing as he has more time to socially develop before starting school which will be good for him.

@KnowingBetterYT @GrandpaHarris65 Except these companies are never going to lower prices to what they were before.

@MarylndFutureMD @fionawoods46 @ChazNuttycombe @StateNavigate I hope so and I hope he's as good as he seems. That's my voting district and I have been surprised at the lack of Higgins signs this time around. If McAuliff wins, folks should really look at his messaging and strategy. Might be Loudoun but this is a rural district.

@RobboLaw Broken clocks, etc.

@theophilus367 @allenanalysis It's gotta be the GOP donors. There's no other real explanation.

@TattedCat03 @shalvia62 @ABC They really need to pass an automatic CR bill, maintaining previous year funding and programs.

@shannonrwatts @tomwatson Most evangelicals only consider Mormons to be Christian when it suits their chosen narrative. They don't believe in the divinity of Christ in the same way most mainstream Christians do.

24 years of data.
2.5 million children.
Sibling comparisons.

I am exceptionally confident in saying that no relationship exists between paracetamol and autism.

No more lies. No more fear. This isn’t science. It’s reckless politics.

Tylenol does not cause autism.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.

Autism isn’t anyone’s “fault.” It’s simply something someone is born with. Stop blaming mothers and parent’s choices to vaccinate (AND PROTECT) their children.

Everyone is getting this Jimmy Kimmel thing wrong.

A) It's not cancel culture when it comes from the government. It is censorship and state repression, just like in traditional authoritarian regimes.

B) Kimmel wasn't taken off the air for crotizing Kirk. He was taken off for criticizing Trump's lack of concern for Kirk. It was a criticism of the government. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture" and everything to do with freedom of speech.

Don't let them gaslight you into thinking this is a minor chapter in the culture wars. This is so much more.

@EM_RESUS How to swim.

@ProjectLiberal @charliekirk11 Even in conservatives I know in/around DC aren't on board with the takeover. But, then again, I lived inside the Beltway and in DC proper for almost 15 years. And now I live about 50 miles out... Still haven't heard a bunch of people fond of the shenanigans.

@dieworkwear We opted for a smaller home (2700ft²) with a lot more character.

@theBrianaMills Since it seems you want to be technical about it, COVID is actually endemic now. So it's not actually still a pandemic. That could still reoccur, though. https://t.co/iwIogqr2k7

[Lermie @lermanzo]

@theBrianaMills I understand that. But most people don't behave that way and companies certainly don't. Even though the presence of COVID is why I don't feel comfortable in an office

@MagaUnity2024 @omglolbah @4MyAmusement_ @droidxmom They're not the same at all -- this story has been reported across sources, I chose one you'd be more likely to find credible. The crisis in hospitals has been brewing for at least a decade with mergers, acquisitions, and venture capital changing the landscape.

[Lermie @lermanzo]

@abbythelibb_ The issue is that healthcare is an inelastic good. It doesn't follow the "rules" of capitalism if we also want it to be humane.

[Lermie @lermanzo]

@MagaUnity2024 @omglolbah @4MyAmusement_ @droidxmom They already are closing at an alarming rate. https://t.co/aQChlsEb17
