37·4 days agoThe first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.
6·4 days agoAlso remember (as you clearly wrote many times) that we’re talking increased risk, not causation. We were 24 and 27 when my autistic daughter was born. Sometimes you just get dealt a rough hand.
As president, he will demand to speak with the president of Puerto Rico!
1222·8 days agoTo those giving you shit about cutting horrible people out of your life and saying you need to go visit…
Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I’ve cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I’m 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won’t allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there’s no love like Christian “love”.
“Agree to disagree” is reserved for things like “I don’t like coffee.” Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS personal. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.

I fucking hate these “personality assessments”. This is from one I just took the other day. One of around 50 questions.
No, the X stops that navigation session entirely, and that’s not what I’m looking for. Depending on where you are going, how many stops you have loaded, etc, you may not be able to easily start a new session. Breaking up the session also messes up any details about the overall trip, if anyone is trying to gather that.
Google Maps does have this function for Android Auto, so I’m not sure why the mobile Maps doesn’t.
Can we please get a “pause” button in navigation apps?
I don’t need to be yelled at to make a u-turn every 5 seconds just because I got off the freeway to get gas.
I do Top/6hrs, but will jump over to Hot if I’ve been scrolling too long and run out of content.
I heard this in my head to the beat of “The hand that feeds,” and it actually works pretty well lol
Just have to watch the drop boxes to make sure no one lights them on fire.
We’ve been dealing with this shit for far too fucking long…
29·18 days agoI know that all the big stars hate me to say this, but I don’t want to risk 80 peoples’ jobs just to say I got big huevos on The Tonight Show, because that’s what happens. I think a big star just sprained an ankle doing a stunt, and 80 or 180 people are out of a job.
We have stunt people who do that stuff, and if they get hurt, I’m sorry to say but they just need to put a mustache on another Mexican and we can keep going. But if I get hurt, everybody’s out of a job. So I don’t choose to do that.

heatwaves everywhere…
Agreed. Some numbers for Phoenix this year -
70
The number of days this year of 110° or hotter, which is a new record. The previous record was 55 days, set in 2023138
The number of days this year of 100° or hotter. The current record is 145 days, set in 2020. We are going to cool down a bit after the weekend, so we’ll be sitting at about 142. But, the latest we’ve ever had a 100° day is October 27th, so we’ve still got an outside shot at setting a new record.113
The number of consecutive days this year of 100° or hotter. The previous record was 76 days, set in 1993.16
The number of current days in a row of setting / tying a new all-time high each day. This streak started on September25th23rd and is expected to go through Monday, likely putting the total at 20. The previous record anywhere in the US for a streak like this was 14, set in Iowa in 1936 during the Dust Bowl.“This city should not exist - it is a monument to man’s arrogance.”

61·1 month agoYeah, I’m neurodivergent and have a terrible memory. My life is full of alarms and notes and reminders for everything, otherwise nothing gets done.
While I’m well aware of the insidiousness of tech’s ever increasing privacy violations, I also look forward to things like AI being able to function as a full blown personal assistant to help me run my life.
Yup. For those that don’t know, that’s essentially how utf-8 works -
