🩺 At what point is it okay to call your Doctor about an ingrown fingernail? I have been trying to self-treat for over a week and it is not getting better (right index finger and I keep aggravating it by hitting things 😲 on accident)

Reason 1 *wearing my US political history hat* Incumbency is a fundamental advantage for all political candidates, including presidents. Only a small handful of incumbents lost. The vast majority won. So right away, I see a signal of historical ignorance when I see people proposing Biden step down.

And the Constitution itself provides a remedy should things get too bad later, in the form of a vice-president. The one we have is eminently qualified.

I'm curious what the Governor of Louisiana thinks teachers should tell children when they ask why things like slavery, rape, and cruelty to children are not among the "commandments" prohibitions? Could some reporter out there be pal, and ask, please?

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can.

I am not sure I would call Trump's canned "I don't know them, never heard of it" Paul Ryan-esk response "lashing out". But it is nice to see the general public being made aware of what the Right is actually up to.

President Biden and other Democrats are increasingly focusing their attacks on an aggressive right-wing agenda called Project 2025 that is being pushed by allies of presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump — prompting Trump and his team to lash out in recent days at supporters of the effort.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

I'd love to be a university president. Easiest job in the world. You just cut all expenses that benefit faculty or students, and then, as it becomes obvious that you've made the university worse for no benefit, you jump to another university where you repeat the process.

He is currently doing the job and crushing it. Anyone who isn't convinced he can be President isn't paying attention. Biden is not the lesser evil, he is a vastly superior President and Human being to his opponent and it is not even close.

This is a bit misleading, and it’s difficult to explain why without resorting to legal jargon. But I’ll try.
