Separately, bird flu has egg prices up again. Which may or may not affect you.

Feeling very fortunate to live in SoCal where avocados are a local crop, even grow in backyards.

Bird flu, too.

I remember reading this and thinking it didn’t qualify as good news, and it doesn’t, but I guess it’s better than the US as a whole:

Didn’t it also exclude a bunch of stuff Democrats wanted, though?

Still cute

*ceases, a cute voice-to-text error

And the AfD’s knee-jerk reaction was to assume he was a muslim jihadist, proving his point about German attitudes about Saudi refugees.

Asafœtida works better. Or Axe, since the whole point is to keep people 6 feet away.

I think we all knew we were pissed off, but we didn’t necessarily realize so many other people were too, especially people we don’t like and don’t agree with about anything else. I don’t think it’s simmering, though. I think we’re at a rolling boil.

I think they know “Big Pharma Pushed Opioids”.

I want to work on “Secret and corrupt PBMs create more homeless opioid addicts every day to feed their own greed.”

Tbf it’s a bunch of men in gowns

Aka his back pocket

Stripping the fundamental right to control one’s own body from half the population has dealt an even more personal blow to faith in the Courts. And we’re seeing more deaths as it plays out in the red states, bringing it home to more families.

Could someone please rewrite this story in words of one syllable and post it on Truth Social? We need to weaponize Trump against pharmacy benefit managers. I’m sure they probably gave him money, but he’s well known for breaking his deals.

“The car on the other side of the zipper merge is going now. You’re next.”

It doesn’t mean I intend to do anything, I’m just observing society.

Good. Shareholding and profiteering off healthcare should not be a thing. It should be a government service not a business, although I’d bet a million dollars I don’t have, that it won’t happen under Trump. And if it ever does happen, they had better fucking plan it to be rock-solid against ruthless cutthroat cheating grifters like him.

At least in Canada people can choose euthanasia because they are in pain rather than because they’re bankrupting their family

It’s just throwing a hissy fit because Donald Trump promised it could be ambassador to Greece and then picked the Loud Lady instead.

Do puberty blockers result in sterilization? Top surgery certainly doesn’t. Gender affirming bottom surgery is often postponed until 18 in any case. And there are also nonsurgical options for preventing menstruation in the meantime, even if the person can’t take puberty blockers.

None of which makes this provision anything other than cruel bigotry. In fact, don’t tell them, or they’ll take out that phrase to make the ban more sweeping. But I feel like, while they were adding the last-minute provision, someone sneaked in the sterilization bit like a little fairy godmother making the curse a little less dire.
