Taking a moment to grieve that the U.S. federal government is putting forward this lifelong charlatan as my personal health guru.
Kinda cute that a Minnesota publication brands Bob Dylan as a "Minnesota folk legend."
A similar sentiment prevails in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's feminist utopia, Herland: xpostfactoid.blogspot.com/2010/09/on-n...
This may not be strictly relevant, but Milan Kiros looks like Olivia Hussey.
You'd think the newly Bibi-bashing Trump might have a problem with this
Very strange elision in this New Yorker brief on the Delaney Hall strike and protests. The whole confrontation erupted over the attempt (successful after hours of standoff) to transfer Martin Soto.

I've lived long enough to know that this fictional Afhgan refugee (created by Jamil Jan Kochai) has a point. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... Have to live as though it's not the whole truth forever.

When you hear fraudster Oz claim that the 3 million drop in ACA enrollment is due to fraud cleanup, keep this from @charlesgaba.com in mind acasignups.net/26/05/12/bre...
Remembering these foibles of the late great John Sterling fondly -- this was written circa 1994:
Thanks @juddlegum.bsky.social for reporting that ICE has stiffed third-party medical providers for 7 months -- and many detainees have died following egregious medical neglect. This is proto-Nazi conduct. popular.info/p/ice-has-no...
Kind of recursive, isn't it. Our deepest long-term problem: You can't have a democracy when one of two parties won't play.
