If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

every artist can easily do this when this happens, and if they don’t, we should ask why

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Sort of wild that American Democracy is being dismantled by a guy who can be charmed into basically anything by any New Yorker will to talk to him while wearing a suit

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

this is a stunning piece of data journalism/art/whatever.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Trump: “It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.”

(It seems you can take them out and turn off optimized battery charging "until tomorrow", and then put them back in the case; but that is entirely too many steps)

And, unlike on other devices, it doesn't seem you can force "charge to 100%", as the phone only allows fiddling with those settings when the AirPods are out of the case, and thus not charging.

Optimized battery charging on my new AirPods Pro 3 is completely useless.

It's like, do I want reduced battery life or a battery that never passes 80% charge?

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

it's pretty funny the sheer number of people who, seconds into the second trump administration, decided the time was ripe to go full fash instead of waiting a little bit to see if people were actually cool with nazis now. every major company was like, we need to court the burgeoning nazi demographic

@ceej.online

I think what happened is basically that a bunch of consultants misread the rightward swing among Gen Z last election as a permanent vibe shift which is why the weaseliest Dems sprinted to do podcasts with hitlerites instead of waiting three months for trump to fuck everything up like he always does

turns out milking 9/11 for 25 years to justify insane bigotry doesn’t really work anymore

What’s the closest you ever got to a “Nazi phase”?

Mine was my “Nietzsche is great, besides, he hated Christians, not Jews” moment in college

Either that or my Nation of Islam/Malcolm X fascination. Either way, specifically anti-Nazi!
