Forensics is cop shit and thus mostly lies like all cop shit. The amount of absolute vibes-based bullshit that's been presented as "science" in a court of law would shock the conscience of Satan herself.

I love it. So much. It brings back the view of a future where everyone had these easy automatic beehive machines instead of the future where we gave up on cool hairstyles and just put up our hair in ponytails.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

I first heard it used this way in a book describing “conscious capitalism” which was, I think the term used by right wing libertarian hacks before “effective altruism” where they pretended employees and customers and actual shareholders were of equal value in a business. In other words? A lie.

Francie is here with a BLEP vs. MLEM tutorial. A blep is when the tongue is just hanging out at rest, stationary. Mlem is an action word for when the tongue is performing a licking motion - hence the name which is an onomatopoetic interpretation of the sound it makes.

I'm fully vaxxed as well, but a N95 mask saved me at least once: The morning after a 90-minute massage in early 2022, my therapist woke up sick & tested positive. Every other patient that day got it. Having stockpiled many tests for family & friends, I tested negative for 2 weeks & didn't get it.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

feels like part of the longstanding trend of "complain about the media, but never do anything about it other than Hope They're Nice To Us" from democrats is that a lot of 'em find the shittiness of the media convenient when they want to knife somebody else in the party

You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of the way that the press interviews actresses. All form and no substance. "What was your skin care routine like" who gives a shit, if you're gonna ask something physical at least make it "what stretches do you do to hit those high kicks".

The implicit message I got from this whole news cycle is that many of these reporters think that disabled people don’t belong in public life. Biden’s interviews put a lot of my fears about his candidacy to rest, but it gave me a new one:

That along with their lack of understanding (accidental or deliberate?) about how aging affects brain functions in ways that may bring changes to short term memory without affecting deeper knowledge or decision making skills gives me a less than positive impression of any conclusions they draw.

Remember how horrible some of these same reporters were to Sen. Fetterman when he asked for captioning during interviews post stroke? And the ageist ‘just asking questions’ about Biden in 2020, or Nancy Pelosi? And the initial reactions to that big Atlantic article about Biden’s stutter?

1. They are the ones undermining their own candidate by running around like chickens with their heads cut off 2. Even if they switch, they are throwing this new candidate under the bus.
