@TimInHonolulu @GOP Telling Trump supporters they've lost my trust is what seems to shake them the most. But trust is a commodity we allow competent adults- by falling for Trump, they've proven they're anything but.

Can someone in Brooklyn please please please adopt this beautiful neb named Professor Plum

@GregoryScaduto Appreciate this piece. Reflexive ageism is really boring and we should all do better.

In defense of the boomers. The contempt we aim at the old is practice for the contempt that will one day be aimed at us.

@Todd_Spence Ever see the one where the lady's tube top fell as she came on down? Bob had a real good time with that one.

That time a THE PRICE IS RIGHT contestant (Alene Glover) blacked out after winning the Showcase, so the show just ran the credits while they tried to revive her lol (1976)

It has now been 38 days since Scott Jennings declared the Strait of Hormuz open. For someone who claims to hate socialism, he sure loves being publicly owned.

@artwithinpod I love him so.......

the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.

@todayyearsold I just blacked out from the cuteness.

The mom not reacting at ALL is killing me 😭 this is clearly a regular occurrence

@VanyaWright @AlecMacGillis I believe they may have tried something like that but they weren't compostable so they were out. The expense comes into it, too.

@simcha1972 @AlecMacGillis What about bamboo utensils? They are disposable but not plastic.

Am genuinely shocked by this anecdote. I cannot recall seeing this ever happen at college in the 1990s.

@thechosenberg Modesty goes out the window when it's that hot, especially in your own frigging space

Completely normal 19 year old behavior

@KDimitratos Gah, that fucking sucks

@Ecsullie @GeauxGabrielle Yes, the mental status changes are terrifying. How is your husband now?

@simcha1972 @GeauxGabrielle Yep, hubby had it 2 years ago from a kidney infection! He had a 104 fever, chills and by the time we got to ER, he was in cognitive decline! It comes on very fast and it’s not rare!

Kyle Busch dying of septic pneumonia at 41 is terrifying, especially when studies from every major academic or research body in the country have confirmed that COVID-19 is causing a rise in it because even an asymptomatic infection is destroying the immune system enough to cause this.

@lbedell828 @GeauxGabrielle So sorry about your dad.❤️ From what I understand, sepsis can sneak into bodies that are compromised from fighting infection and from there it's a matter of stopping the dominos fall. I've become an evangelist for keeping an eye out for sepsis; it is just that dangerous.

@simcha1972 @GeauxGabrielle During my family’s Covid infections (7 of us at the same time), my dad’s infection went from mild with GI symptoms to sepsis and multi-organ failure in 3 weeks and he was taken off of the ventilator and passed 😓 If people had a mild case, they do not understand how serious it is

@AnyBodies76 @cybelethebest Yeah, you definitely have to be prepared to clean up mess with blw. I prefer doing that as I find spoonfeeding incredibly tedious, but I can see how some would prefer not to have to scour the floor after every meal.

@cybelethebest Um some days you just want to get the feeding done without a mess. Knew a woman who would, when her "toilet trained" peed on the floor would toss a towel over it for the housekeeper to clean the next shift, these women have that energy.

This is like the single lowest-stakes thing about caring for an infant. Have you ever seen a child not understand how to transport food to their face because they didn’t BLW? It doesn’t matter much, spend your time worrying about other things.

@withering309 @sapphicnightowl Yeah, nurse's aides are doing the bulk of the care of people in nursing homes and their medical training is minimal

@sapphicnightowl i agree, but also i actually do that sort of thing for a living. falls under social care so i have had no medical training besides in house stuff the clients family still needs to be as present in their life as possible though if theyre to stand a chance of a dignified life

I don't think anyone without medical training can care for dementia patients. It's insane that society demonizes ppl who put their parents in professional care facilities, a sense of duty to parents doesn't make you an expert capable of dealing with such a devastating illness

@oddhanfoo @katrosenfield @davereaboi That line bugged me from the instant I heard it. Video for that song was a banger though.

@katrosenfield @davereaboi I always laugh now when I hear that one stanza from ‘World of Confusion’ by Genesis.

I can’t stop thinking about what a remarkable thing this is to admit after 60 straight years of “fuck the man, change the world” boomer activism

@Kaniwani928 @lachancenaomi27 The generalness of the advice really bugs me- you could get that from reading a magazine in the checkout lane.

@lachancenaomi27 Therapy never worked for me. It felt like paying a lot of money for someone to pretend to care while giving very general advice that I’d already heard from many other places. I know therapy has helped a lot of people, and I’m glad it works for them, but it never worked for me.

I’ve seen this new therapist 4 times and every time we talk about my dog dying. Today I said we were looking for a new dog and she asked if I’ve had a dog before. Should I find a new therapist

@lachancenaomi27 This would not inspire confidence in me. I've seen my share of therapists, and suffice it to say I have not been impressed. I recall one psychiatrist who kept taking calls from her son during our sessions because, at 14, he didn't know how to make himself a sandwich.
