Small comforts among the schadenfreude, dread, disillusionment, and sadness for people like me who have no idea whether they've had one or two MMR doses- one dose is lifelong 93% effective, two doses 97%, and breakthrough cases tend to be milder.

Controversial doc gets measles while treating unvaccinated kids—keeps working

Ben Edwards has grown popular in Texas for providing unproven measles treatments.

Someone just needed to tale the keys away from Jorge, and the prequels would be all time classics instead of "the most prophetic story ever written buried under the worst slop imaginable"

https://www.wired.com/story/cve-program-cisa-funding-chaos/

the reason it took 4chan this long to get hacked despite being such a jank piece of shit is that it was sort of just an unwritten rule not to. it's sort of like the continental hotel from john wick, but for internet shitheads instead of assassins.

since yesterday, my right lat has been spasming for a few minutes every hour or so.

it's not painful at all, but it's sorta like my body poking me in the back, and is annoying.

I haven't even worked out my lats since last week. bodies are dumb.

This is excellent news and a good example of how speaking up can have a real impact.

I have really good news to announce to everyone.

Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care.

Good work everyone.

Nobody hates you more than a Christian who loves God.

Good description of what's happening rn in the U.S., tbh

He was intent on an audacious, immitigable, and supernatural revenge.

Some of us always meant it, but yeah, I was just commiserating with an old Reason colleague about what a disappointing eye-opener the Trump era has been. If we’re not all-hands for this, if we can’t see an authoritarian emergency this obvious, who are we even kidding?

The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.

MITRE supports a ton of federal cybersecurity work, with the CVE program probably being the most famous example. It's a globally used repository for vital information about vulnerabilities. cve.mitre.org

I've asked DHS what's going on with the MITRE contract.

BREAKING.

From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.

The mugger has taken my wallet, raising questions about his respect for property rights

I liked playing both characters, but if you clear a base as Naoe, then find a box only Yasuke can move, and switching characters prompts the seasons to change which prompts all the enemies to respawn, it SUCKS.

And a lot of the "cool new features" of Shadows, like playing multiple characters and having seasons change, actually detracted from the game, for me.

I like the newer Assassin's Creed Games in order of release: Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, then Shadows.

By Valhalla, the format was getting overly repetitive, and by Shadows it was overly repetitive in a setting that felt like a museum exhibit (I know this is part of the point in these games)

if u study history and sociology or by God, you look at twitter, you can kinda start to see the entire population of America as a 300 year old neural network that’s simulating a dumb guy looking down the barrel of his gun while he cleans it.

Just rolled credits on Assassin's Creed Shadows and 20% of my experience was me thinking something looked sick as fuck and 80% was me being annoyed I had to switch characters to do some *activity*

Very inconvenient that when a fictional cat dies in a show it sort of ruins the show for me. Why am I like this. I don't care at all when fictional humans die.

the whole thing is simultaneously depressing and extremely relatable

Fuck Planned Parenthood

@threecolorable.bsky.social

Planned Parenthood AZ updated their webpage to specify that Friday's Medicaid directive IS the reason they've stopped providing gender-affirming care.

Breaking: U.S. Customs and Border Protection to now give visitors entering the United States the choice of being disappeared, acquiring an entirely preventable disease, or crashing in an airplane.

You're making a sandwich. Nice. You can eat two pieces of bread, or put other pieces of food between the slices for different stat boosts. Open the ITEMs menu to choose different meats and vegetables. Once you've mastered that, come talk to me about the CONDIMENTs system.

"That sounds like a lot of jargon. Can you explain it to me like I'm five?"

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Hell it goes beyond this. Even some LGBTQ+ organizations are scared of speaking out.

It's bad right now.

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US
