I will never get over the loss of this iconic artist. Thank the heavens and Dolores for sharing such beauty. Dolores O'Riordan - Go your own way (Live on Europe2) youtu.be/Qlw4NohB678?si… via @YouTube

@Ohiogator19 @VinoNStrosGal Have you ever thought that you came back here to respond to all of these because you can’t handle the cognitive dissonance you experience attempting to understand that your experience is not universal?

@VinoNStrosGal You’re right. How are you doing with your ignorance?

After my last fill turned into acute withdrawal because no pharmacy would touch my prescription until the end of the day. today felt like a different world. In and out. No resistance. No judgment. And I was told I can come back next month. The system really makes you grateful for what should be normal.

Rare footage of a sperm whale giving birth has offered scientists a window into the behavior of these large, elusive mammals.

@brianshrader @OKnox 💯

@OKnox I think my middle school typing class may have been the single most useful course I've ever taken.

I am a million years old.

@Johns79218966 @slater57649 She was working, feeding her kin. Bless her.

@slater57649 It took Nana awhile to catch on ... Lol

You’re stretching nanas good clothes

Teddy has a better social life than I do

Hey @holidayinn can you make this better? Because of the way we paid, we were only comped a bottle of water and a can of beer. I was expecting a future credit at minimum. The call got our vacation day off to a bad start — I have stage 4 cancer and need my beauty sleep!

@WmAG_V I think the war will be over when the prices are where they want them; that’s my guess anyway.

I wanna throw up....

In the spring of 1955, a 67-year-old grandmother from Ohio told her children she was going for a walk. She didn’t say how far. She didn’t say why. She simply kissed them goodbye, packed a cloth bag with the barest essentials, and vanished into the Georgia wilderness. Her name was Emma Rowena Gatewood — and she was about to do something no woman had ever done before. For three decades, Emma had endured unspeakable violence in her Ohio farmhouse. Beatings that broke her ribs, blackened her eyes, and nearly broke her spirit. She had raised eleven children on that farm. She had finally escaped her husband in 1941, but the invisible scars ran deeper than any wound. Then one quiet afternoon, she read an article in National Geographic about the Appalachian Trail — more than 2,000 miles of rugged paths stretching from Georgia to Maine. The writer made it sound peaceful. Achievable. Beautiful. Emma thought: If men can walk it, so can I. But she knew what would happen if she told anyone. Her children would worry. Friends would call her foolish. A grandmother, alone in the wilderness? Impossible. Dangerous. So she kept her plan silent as a prayer. She sewed a simple denim bag and filled it with the absolute basics: a blanket, a plastic shower curtain, a first-aid kit, bouillon cubes. No tent. No sleeping bag. No proper hiking boots — just a pair of Keds sneakers and a cotton dress. On May 3, 1955, she boarded a bus to Georgia and began walking north from Mount Oglethorpe. Alone. The trail was nothing like the magazine promised. It was merciless. Roots caught her feet. Rocks sliced through her thin shoes. Rain turned the path to mud. Insects swarmed relentlessly. At night, she slept on bare ground in abandoned shelters, sometimes shivering too violently to rest. She got lost. She fell, twisting her ankle so severely she could barely stand. Sitting on that rock, pain shooting through her leg, she wondered if this was where her journey would end. But after catching her breath, she wrapped her ankle tight and kept moving. Always moving. Hikers who passed her didn’t know what to make of the small, gray-haired woman in a dress and sneakers, carrying a homemade sack. Some thought she was lost. Others assumed she was crazy. A few offered food or shelter. She thanked them graciously, then continued on. When strangers asked why she was walking, she’d smile softly and say she wanted to see the country. But anyone who looked into her eyes could see something deeper burning there. This wasn’t recreation. This was reclamation. Every mile was a mile farther from the life that had tried to destroy her. Every step was proof she was still here, still strong, still capable of extraordinary things. Weeks became months. Her feet bled. Her back ached. The sun burned her skin raw. But she never stopped. On September 25, 1955, Emma Gatewood stood on the summit of Mount Katahdin in Maine. She had walked 2,168 miles in 146 days. She was the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone in a single season. When word spread, reporters flooded in. Newspapers nationwide ran her story. Overnight, she became “Grandma Gatewood,” a household name. Everyone wanted to know how a 67-year-old woman with no training and minimal gear had accomplished what seasoned hikers failed to do. Emma smiled and said it wasn’t that complicated. She mentioned the trail needed better maintenance — too many rocks, not enough signs. She spoke as casually as if discussing her garden, not surviving one of America’s most grueling challenges. But she wasn’t finished. In 1957, she walked the trail again. Then in 1964, at 76 years old, she became the first person ever — man or woman — to complete the Appalachian Trail three times. Each journey with almost nothing. Each journey proving that true strength doesn’t come from equipment or training. It comes from refusing to surrender.

@WriterMera @baystaters @Katamac1967 the war on unpatentable medicines

@baystaters @Katamac1967 That's awesome! The war on drugs is more like the War on the People by the govt. I'm thinking it's only called war on drugs for marketing purposes.

Some politicians can be so open about alternative treatments like ketamine & psychedelics for mental health, supporting research & access…but when it comes to opioids, the focus shifts to addiction, funding for tx programs, & response scale…not opioids to treat chronic pain.

@saja1966 @NicoFvL2 There’s a video of an elderly woman being interviewed communicating that she knew the pictures were fake (produced later) because there was no snow on the ground.

@NicoFvL2 Ich habe vor einiger Zeit bei einem "Verschwörungs-Theorie-Kanal" die Aussage gehört, dass Alfred Hitchcock persönlich die "Dokumentation" in Ausschwitz durchgeführt hat, damit es schockierende Bilder für die Deutschen gab. Apropos, meine Oma wußte auch nichts von KZs.

Und warum haben wir eigentlich noch nie etwas gehört von weiblichen Aufsehern in Auschwitz, den Schwimmbecken in olympischer Länge, Fußballmannschaften und Wochenendturnieren, der Zahnklinik und dem Geburts-Krankenhaus, sowie dem Kindergarten, Bäckerei, Theateraufführungen, Fecht- und Degen Turnieren, einer Fußballmannschaft, dem großen Pianoflügel in der Aula, etc. Warum haben wir davon noch nie etwas gehört⁉️ 👇🏻

Please, I urge you to follow this protocol if you can when your pet needs euthanasia. It's what I've done for 20 years. 1. Call a house-call vet. Hold kitty/doggy when they're put to sleep. This is your moral duty. You must not ever leave them in a sterile room without you at the vet. 2. Put the body out on a blanket so that the other animals understand where their friend went. They know what death is-if you *let them*. Don't make them think he abandoned them and ran away. 3. Wrap the body in a sheet from home, and dig the grave yourself if you have a yard. Bury your own dead. -J

@jennmass14 @JuvenalsMama @bluelivesmtr Damn. Sounds like a banger original tweet

@bluelivesmtr Turn in your badges and guns, dude. You’re pathetic. Female officer GOT SHOT by incompetent male cop posing as a stress shooting SWAT expert who managed to shoot her and neutralize the very dangerous window AC. Bravo! 🙄

@tormntos @Breelee420 Maybe we start to say that part? 🤷🏼‍♂️ That ‘don’t sabotage yourself’ cannot be overstated, unfortunately, regardless of facts.

@Breelee420 Don't sabotage yourself.......calm, strong, clear..."I need.. "I know what my body needs"...I am so sorry you sold your soul to Narcan scam, opioid false panic and/or to make money from Big Pharma [you don't say this part just going in knowing who they are.]

Life shouldn’t BE LIKE THIS

@annamaria1word *goonie (I blame autocorrect)

@annamaria1word You…you goodie! I’m glad you’re enjoying good weather there, too!

Cannon Beach seastacks! And windswept me!

@NYPoliticalMom @annamaria1word I noticed that. I wonder what other vaccines are often needed shortly after an event (like stepping on a nail.) @grok am I still unable to get this answered by you? I would hope other vaccines that are not that time sensitive are offloaded to PCP/urgent care normally.

@annamaria1word @FlipsideLP Not to mention it took place in an ER. And the doctor/nurse had to take out that time to explain a vaccine! That's time taken from patients who need critical care. I guess they missed that point. This is why I think urgent care centers should have 24/7 care.

Last night at the ER, this kid on the other side of our curtained room got a tetanus shot and the amount of explaining about the vaccine’s safety the doc had to do for the parents was wild. It was a super busy ER — ignorance made him waste all that time.

@SmithWinstonIng @caldarone_al @AmiriKing When I was a lad an elder told me there are two kinds of blacks (his wording, not mine). There are regular black people and then there’s…. Well, you get the drift.

@FlipsideLP @caldarone_al @AmiriKing It's bad language? I only blame the trash in the hood (so a minority in the hood). The hood being a minority in the ethnic group of Afr Americans.

A mother and daughter dine and dash at a seafood boil. What is with these people and not paying at seafood boils?? Start making black people prepay for this sh!t. Right??

@SmithWinstonIng @caldarone_al @AmiriKing Damn. I don’t think I’ve heard someone put it so succinctly since I was a wee lad & boy has language changed since then.

@caldarone_al @AmiriKing It's a big part of a community (hood trash) of an ethnic group (african americans)

@Bob4546 @mr_mxyplyzyk @PoliceThePolic1 I agree with you but not all the kids from your generation lived, fwiw.

There shouldn't be school zones. We didn't have them when i was a kid and we all lived through it. Teach your kids that cars are dangerous...Don't train them to think cars will magically stop if you are in the middle of the road. This causes bigger problems when they get older. People don't even know how to walk now days because of the social training. Cars will win every time. EVERY TIME And government funded schools should just not be a thing.

Yo, it's 2026... Can we find a better way to do this? A woman recorded herself being pulled over on the interstate. Wisconsin State Patrol troopers attempted to remove her from the driver’s seat "for officer safety" by pulling her arms; however, she refused to exit the vehicle.
