Lies, predicated upon a pre-determined, non-scientific bias, that I'm 99% positive that the majority of the experts at HHS wouldn't agree with.

So, people with serious diseases will leave the US to get acceptable healthcare, while more US citizens will live shorter, more brutal lives that are less challenging for the self-appointed aristocracy, that hates the middle class.

Habeas Corpus Abra Cadabra.

Hey folks, the Mafia regime in the White House just deleted most of Article I Section 8 and all of Sections 9 and 10 of the US Constitution. I'm sure there's nothing concerning about that. Carry on.

As an aside, I wish everything was as "dead" as #RSS. It has been quietly working for all these years and nobody wants to enshittify it.

Andy created the art for @bw’s https://htmlforpeople.com as well as the graphic at the top of https://home.omg.lol. His illustrations are fun, clean, and he’ll even give you the vectors (something you can’t get from AI!). But most importantly, he’s simply a joy to work with. 🌟

You’re building a thing and need it to look nice? Tempted to reach for some quick "art" from an AI?

Try Andy Carolan (@andycarolan) instead. He’s incredibly talented, smart, and unlike AI he actually cares about what he produces. He puts real love into his work. I’ve worked with him, and the result was *awesome*!

He’s also feeling the very real crunch of what AI is doing to his industry. It sucks. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can choose Andy!

I've made no secret of the fact that Krissy being willing to handle much of the day-to-day of our lives has meant I could have the career that I've had. I let her know every day how much I appreciate all she does for me and for our families. She is the head and heart of it all.

There will be a reckoning, I fear, for how we allow children to be repeatedly infected with #COVID19

STUDY: "Significant cardiac changes in adolescents post-COVID-19 indicate the risk of cardiovascular complications and the need for long-term follow-up. Significant cardiac changes, including increased fatigue, cardiac arrhythmia, and inadequate night-time BP decrease, have been identified in adolescents. Heart rhythm abnormalities were found in 35% of children."

Dear EU commission, as you may have noticed bowing to Trump didn't work and instead emboldened him to double-down on his bullying. We thought that you would have learned this particular lesson after years of trying to appease Putin, but no, you still haven't. Dear EU commission, it's about time your members grew a fucking spine. Sincerely, a European citizen.
