Santos Bails on GOP to Run as ‘Ultra MAGA’ Independent
  • Watch him be the one that starts the electoral schism of the Republican party

  • Republicans Are No Longer a Political Party
  • False equivalency. They. Are. Not. The. Same.
    Do both parties have some issues in common? Sure. Does our system need reform? Absolutely. But just because there is some overlap in the Venn diagram that is our political system does not make them the same. At least the democrats are trying to govern.

  • Everything the man does is transactional. Support me and I'll support you (for a little while anyway). Fuck me and I fuck you

  • NPR names tech executive Katherine Maher as new CEO
  • I enjoy listening to morning edition - usually through the app. I also contribute to NPR monthly. They have to stop the on air fundraising campaigns. It really drives listeners away. At least give those that already contribute an alternative feed.

  • The tide turns on Florida book bans
  • The wheels of democracy turn slowly, but they do turn. Should it have gotten anywhere close to this far? Hell no. But this does bring me some very very cautious optimism.

  • The timeline didn't split until the Narada showed up. So, if it's before that moment, it is still the original timeline.

  • 🧙‍♂️
  • Especially if it's a cock ring

  • Why Doctors and Pharmacists Are in Revolt
  • Physician here.
    Medicine is one of the few professions in which capital is tied to labor (at least of the licensed independent clinicians). Hospitals, clinics, etc., can't run any test, provide any service, perform any surgery, without a physician (or other licenses clinicians) order.

    Health systems rely on their physicians to drive clinical practice. Physicians are the experts after all. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, but at its core, it is a partnership. This partnership certainly has it's ups and downs. But this is what happens when the health system forgets that it is a partnership.

  • I liked it when it first came out and now. That base line bullshit they added in S3 on the other hand....

  • 'We're ungovernable': House Republicans nix votes on two funding bills as shutdown deadline nears
  • Hear me out: If the GOP could just, I don't know, at least talk to the other 49% of the House, they may be able to get at least some of the things they want.

    Apparently I'm really optimistic today.

  • The new uniforms have something like that too:
    Command
    Science
    Coms/Engineering

  • Republicans are now mad that Pete Buttigieg drives his family around in a minivan
  • Up until a couple years ago, the Pacifica was the only hybrid available. The Sienna has a hybrid now. But that's it.

  • House Republicans: No Aid for Israel Unless Rich Tax Cheats Get a Break
  • True, but this is House bullshit, not the Senate

  • House Republicans: No Aid for Israel Unless Rich Tax Cheats Get a Break
  • Want to find the money? Increase the ability of the IRS to perform more audits. The richest folks are already not paying the taxes they should be. $688 billion per year!

  • ‘People have no idea’: How smart devices spy on us and reveal information about our homes
  • Security risk is the bigger concern IMHO. These devices are often a security weak point for networks. Putting them on their own wifi network and then isolating that network is critical.

  • I really liked it when the show first started. I thought the divergence from the regular formula at the time was a nice change. The theme of the song was also on point for the theme of the show - humanity coming into their own on the galactic stage. I'm in the middle of my first rewatch since the show first aired. I still like it. As for adding a base line to it in season 3....WTF?
