I get that history is probably not his forte but JFC this is egregious

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Mental health acceptance. There is still a LONG way to go but dear gods - the difference between the 80s (I don’t remember the 70s) and now is astounding.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Did Space Invaders ever have a sit down arcade version with a trackball or am I just dreaming? I swear I remember spending hours sitting at this game but can’t find any version that matches.

You can take the entire works of three authors with you to a desert island - who are you taking? 1) Terry Pratchett (duh) 2) Jean Auel 3) hmmm - this is the hard one. Do I go with highbrow and wordy, like Dickens? Do I go with entertaining and wordy, like King? McCaffrey? Heinlein? 😳😧

Watched a vid about a workplace shooting where the manager and a specific coworker were the specific target. “The rest of the workers were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time”. They were at their job during their scheduled shift! That phrase pisses me off with it victim blaming vibes

Salem has to make sure I stay warm while knitting my husband a cardigan. He’s selfless that way

Thinking today about an old manager. He used to regularly rearrange the med room to “be more efficient” and would get annoyed that it would end up back the way it was within days. Finally had to point out he was 6’3 and the average nurse using the med room is 5’5. WE COULDN’T REACH THE SUPPLIES

An elected official’s job is to represent the will of the people, not to convince the people that they are wrong.

These chuds do not grasp the nuance between “being mean” and “being a sociopath”.

JD Vance: "When you're mean to Amy Acton, she sics the American media and of course the Democrat Party operatives all across the state of Ohio after you. But I think a person who is more worried about whether somebody says something mean about them, that person can never serve in the gov's mansion"

Lmao. Pulled up to the coffee stand to get sweet sweet caffeine before training. Barista turned around, saw me, and immediately blurted “but it’s not Sunday!” Lmao.

I don’t wanna. Don’t wanna don’t wanna don’t wanna!!
