I don't expect this to get a lot of traction, but: Please add alt text, it's not hard & it's kind of fun. Also, please credit artists in a post. I may like an un-alt or uncredited post, but won't likely repost unless those things are included. Artists deserve credit, and alt text is helpful. Thx

In the final days before midterms, the best thing Republicans can do is send out hateful ads. Pete Buttigieg gives his thoughts. #Pinks #VoteBlue 🌊

Possibly the sweetest act of kindness you'll see today. A family had electricians in and their little boy was obsessed with them. He hounded them with questions, kindness and constant offers to help. The little boy received this from them. Original post

We made failure waffles today but on tne bright side, learned a good lesson about the interior berry limit (really any berries but there is definitely such a thing as too many berries). Still delicious, though.

Mark your calendars because on Tuesday, October 27th, Secretary @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is joining me on the Coast for a rally! We’re going to bring the energy, talk about what’s at stake for Mississippi and get ready to send Cindy High Prices packing in less than 10 days.

Important research for these times. Infants typically do not receive measles vax until 1 year. This study shows that any protection they have from their mother wanes by 6 months, leaving them vulnerable. With measles cases surging–this year already has double the cases of last–this is a nightmare.

Kennedy Jr.’s Vaccine Agenda Risks a Resurgence of Deadly Childhood PlaguesThe health secretary is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market.

Measles study in infants at #IDweek; maternal measles antibodies found in newborns, but wanes below neutralizing levels (ie, protection) by 6 months. Since kids get 1st MMR at 1 year, highly vulnerable from 6-12 months. Not a huge deal if measles rare. Terrifying if measles rampant (like now) 😳

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

Voters are facing 2.5-hour lines and 45-minute walks to get to the polls. Why? Because Republicans slashed early voting sites. Make a voting plan, bring snacks and water and vote as early as you can. Follow Democracy Docket for the latest news ahead of the midterms.

I read a sci fi short story once where an Earth inhabitant was visiting w/aliens and they said their politicians were chosen by lot. When the Earthling here explained our political system, the alien was appalled and said anybody who would actually want the job would have to be insane.

well I'm scared already #SixthSense #HATM I expect watching this film while knowing the whole twist is a completely different experience than watching it for the first time without knowing...who here is watching for the first time and not aware?

Watching The Sixth Sense with Historians at the Movies tonight. Never seen this film so I'm looking forward to it! #HATM

Sometimes I just know things! 🤣

Here’s @dgcomedy.bsky.social last Thursday on Beans Talk predicting Zacharia would last about half a scaramucci. Zacharia was fired the next day, having lasted about half a scaramucci. 🤣😂

This reminded me of a story my dad told about working in a mfg plant when they advertised for a plant manager, a nice elderly woman applied and it was a few min into the interview that they realized she had no idea what a plant manager was and thought it was this 👇

I was fired without actually having the job. It was a job watering and maintaining plants in office buildings. I was told I needed to do a trial day to see how I performed. Was told the next day I wasn't selected. I wasn't paid for the 8 hours I worked. How do you fail watering frikkin plants?
