@gtconway3d @SundaeDivine I sometimes tell people I went to college in New Jersey.

@SundaeDivine I feel the same way. I never tell people I went to Harvard unless someone mentions Harvard first in which case I mention that I went to Harvard and go on to discuss how I never mention it unless someone brings up the subject.

I hate it when people humble brag about where they went to college. I have this friend who went to Harvard and she just won’t shut up about it. She’s always been like that, even when we were in college together.

On her birthday, we remember Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve in a presidential Cabinet and the architect behind Social Security, minimum wage, and the right to organize. She didn’t just shape policy, she changed what workers could expect from this country.

@canada2021dgopg @DrNeilStone India's Universal Immunization Programme began in 1985. Try Google next time.

@DrNeilStone And yet, population of India and Africa keeps growing astronomically .. with 0 vax until the last decade.

Yes it's true - the Black Death did end without a vaccine It killed 200 million people including wiping out half the population of Europe but at least they never got one of them nasty vaccines right?

@Kingfan5151 @NYCMayor Because they are nationalists larping as Christians.

@NYCMayor Christians who larp online as nationalists fighting against Islam themselves can’t understand what a leader looks like lmao.

Happy Easter, New York! Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear.  As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day. Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.

@dianaberrent @cvspharmacy Here is a search engine for pharmacy locations with dropboxes. safe.pharmacy/drug-disposal/

How are we supposed to dispose of medication? Putting it in the garbage seems like a bad idea as it could get into the water system etc. My @cvspharmacy won’t accept them. So I have an entire nightstand drawers filled with unused Rx’s. Shouldn’t there just be a dropbox at every pharmacy counter?

@OlisCory @NoContextBrits Poughkeepsie, Arkansas is pronounced "pow-keep-see".

@NoContextBrits Pennihstun, basically. But it will never beat your Worcestershire (woostersher), Cholmondeley (chumlee), Mousehole (which seems straightforward, but is not a hole but a hell, mow-zel). Or the American Poughkeepsie (puhkipsy).

How do you pronounce this?

@Daractenus Is he going to enlist so he would be eligible?

@LDSLaw We're talking about the lunatic that just recently took someone else's Nobel and basically awarded himself the FIFA "Peace Prize". I don't think he's joking.

"So I decided to go to Iraq. I flew to Iraq. I was extremely brave. In fact, so brave I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor. I said to my people, am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?" He’s getting stupider and crazier by the hour.

We have 3 “Pretti Good” billboards up on i35 in Minneapolis, on i95 in Philadelphia and on Rt 28 near Pittsburgh. 500,000 folks will see them THIS WEEK. Chip in to help keep them up. maddogpac.com/products/quick…

@TaylorP01315481 @Zschiltz @FROSTBlTING @joe_yer99 @grok The drug problem in West Virginia is everywhere. Besides, West Virginia has no cities with population over 50,000.

@Zschiltz @FROSTBlTING @joe_yer99 @grok Now ask it to break it down by city.

Greenland trolling the US.

@HustleBitch_ Trump is right-handed yet his right arm and hand are almost immobile. He is using that side to prop himself up and reaching with his left hand.

🚨 SOMETHING IS OFF - WATCH THIS CLOSELY. 🚨 The hand stays planted. The body shifts unnaturally. The posture doesn’t line up. Something about this moment with President Trump doesn’t feel natural. What are we actually watching here?

@JoyceWhiteVance How many are women or men of color?

“Holsey is among a group of more than 20 generals and admirals that have been fired, removed, reassigned or otherwise pushed aside since the Trump administration took office in January.” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

@chefsevenn Olive oil, a little salt, roast for 15 minutes at 400F.

Be honest here…. does anyone actually enjoy eating Broccoli?

@howie_hua 75% = 3/4. 3/4 of 200 is 150. 3/4 of 50 is 3*12.5 = 37.5. 150+37.5=187.5. 187.5/10 = 18.75

It's Mental Math Monday! How would you mentally calculate 7.5% of 250?

@Angry_Staffer Not just a hostile head of state, but a hostile head of state with a 16-year career as a foreign intelligence officer

Not only is this fucking embarrassing, I can’t imagine how much counterintelligence work is going to be required after this trip. Having a hostile head of state in the presidential limo is *insane*

87 years ago, President Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act into law, establishing the 40-hour workweek, child labor protections, overtime pay, minimum wage and more. These protections were won because workers stood up, organized and demanded better.

@DrNeilStone All of them - staff, Cabinet, DOGE, ... - every last one

Wait so who is the bad guy in Trump vs Musk?

@FrancisGaltonJR @thevivafrei @DrNeilStone Reference?

@thevivafrei @DrNeilStone Higher Miscarriage Rate Among The Covid-Vaccinated — Study

"Only very sick kids should die from measles" No, Secretary Kennedy NO child should die from measles. Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

@JxScott @LauraRbnsn Citations of the widely replicated finding, please?

@LauraRbnsn You’ve never heard that because conservatives are significantly less likely to end friendships or refuse to date people on the basis of their political beliefs. This is a widely replicated finding.

The social acceptance conversation is so bizarre and so one sided. I have never in my life heard a left leaning person express disappointment that conservative people don’t want to date or be friends with them, outside of the context of parents or couples who

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor. Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.
