Damn. What a good way to phrase it.

What if we discovered we're not the only species that posts

What we know, 11:30pm.

1. Progressives oust 3 Dems who were helping GOP in NC.
2. Dems flip legislative seat in AR.
3. Al Green + Crenshaw in big trouble.
4. #TXSen? Talarico up. GOP runoff.
5. Right holds court seat in AR, but no blowout.
6. VERY close races: Berger-Pace in NC, Arkansas SOS.

what the actual fuck.

Extended follow-up of invasive cervical cancer risk after quadrivalent HPV vaccination: nationwide, register based study Objectives To evaluate the long term risk of invasive cervical cancer after receiving the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, how risk varies by time since vaccination, and to assess the ...

The HPV vaccine is durably AMAZING.A massive Swedish registry study w 18 years of follow-up found no waning protection against invasive cervical cancer. If vaccinated before age 17, cancer risk is cut by ~80%. Even those vaccinated later still had substantial protection.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

time to bake a yellow cake I guess

It’s been one year since the elimination of 18F. 🧵

grateful to hear you're doing well!!

Historically, these are TERRIBLE polling numbers for day 1 of a major US use of force, particularly against a well known and disliked adversary. Usually it only goes down from the start

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

unserious thought on a very serious day: Duckworth is the person I really wish had run for president. probably has too damn much sense to want it, but still.

Get the word out!

Feels like we’re hitting the “too stupid to happen” threshold across this government all at once here huh

always read Bolts!

I don't want to like this because I hate it

hey OCTO folks, this is a lot of self promotion & I'm not sure why a government office would to that, but you're mostly promoting great stuff! but could I recommend you not use text-in-images, especially without alt-text? it's highly inaccessible & I assume accessibility is a principle you hold dear

then after I placed my one-time order, my order number & confirmation, the actual most important information to me, the user, at that point in the flow, was off in the upper right while the site "suggested" I could get a discount on a different item

that's 4 wrong suggestions ffs.

cut. this. out.

internet & on-site search "suggested" related items first, when I was searching for a specific one - & I had the name exact

then when I found it on a site (was it the first hit as an exact text match? what era do I think I'm in?) the site "suggested" I subscribe rather than buying once...

you know what I miss like crazy? an internet that doesn't constantly "suggest" what I should do. I know what I want, trust me.

brought to you by an experience ordering cat food that had all the presumptuous greatest hits

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

here's the link. terrifying, fascist actions by a state government www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

hey! if you didn't see that Kansas has requested trans folks to surrender their Driver's Licenses, I'll link it below - but meantime, this urgent appeal is worth your time & $$. I just donated, join me.

RESULT: Democrats defend a pivotal House seat in Maine today in a special election. Scott Harriman will join the legislature.

Had the GOP flipped the seat, they’d have been very likely to entirely erase Democrats’ narrow majority later this year when another vacancy is filled.

I hear you
