We're watching the Death Note series. My kids figured, despite the dark vibe and topics, that it wouldn't worsen my med-related depression. They're...right. It's like the cleverness and darkness appeals to the gothy Gen X nihilist in me.

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

Unacceptable

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Same.

And I'm hoping they'll restock with it tbh. It's easy and tastes good.

I hope everything gets better or at least easier soon. This all sounds terrible. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

Costco is also part of the recall.

We've got some frozen fried rice to throw away. We always take the bags out of the box so we can tuck them in spots in the freezer, so a refund isn't really plausible. www.seattletimes.com/business/tra...

Really wild what an absolute free for all tech companies are making of the world right now.

We spent weeks of media time on whether or not shampoo thieves at cvs were a sign of a fallen world and tech companies just grabbing what they can in broad daylight, at scale and without shame.

Wow.

I wonder how the folks at Grammarly *thought* the people whose names they're using would react to this?

Me, to the family group chat:

I miss this too for WA. There are a few things that haven't made the jump like a lot of local accounts and that does change the vibe of your feed.

FDA’s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration’s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

lol, gas is already at $5.39 for the cheapest stuff in HB, lifted truck bros about to have an existential crisis next week

If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesn’t get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.

I think last time I started reading, I read like 9 of them one after another before I had to break because my actual life was suffering and I had things to accomplish. And they're so clever. You actually feel like you stepped into a well-researched and fully-formed world. Love them.

this is why it’s so appalling for big powerful companies and schools to cower meekly as everyday people stand up and say “no fuck YOU”

Yeah, I get this too.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

I love Toni Anderson books so much. They're addictive too.

FDA vaccines chief Vinay Prasad to step down in April The head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's vaccines and biologics unit, Dr. Vinay Prasad, ​will leave the agency at the end of April, ‌a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Hum...

Hey, great news gang! Vinay Prasad is out at the FDA.

Again.

Let’s hope it sticks this time.

For the record, the short descriptor is because Lord Farquaad goes hard in making what he views as an inadequacy everyone's problem.

And he's also tiny as a person in a moral capacity way.

Every time I see a reference to this quote by Trump, my brain goes hard to a petulant, short, greedy, cowardly, evil Lord Farquaad in the first Shrek...and actually, the comparison feels pretty accurate.

Maybe I’m too demanding but I’d really like a definitive answer on why the United States started a war in Iran and what we are trying to accomplish.

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

“I was the last person in the US that he knew”: Teachers face the deportation crackdown taking students away | CNN Politics Many teachers across the country are finding themselves taking on roles far beyond the bounds of school to support students, undocumented or otherwise, facing immigration challenges.

Detroit Federation of Teachers member Kristen Schoettle shares how ICE operations have left classrooms empty and students fearful, and what educators like her are doing to support those detained.

“It’s way bigger than what education and teaching used to look like."

Onion rings but it goes to voicemail.

I'm not sure it's helping. Plus it seems harsh on the crocs...

Those look delicious, and I'm sure your friend will appreciate them. ❤️

Oh my hell, Daryl Hannah is an absolutely lovely person. I can't believe she has to defend herself against bizarre fictional horrors like this.

"The character “Daryl Hannah” portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John."

I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.

And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.
