Do you wish there were a printable pamphlet that quickly explains the Harry Potter boycott to people who are out of the loop?

Well now there is! Free to print for non-commercial uses.

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨

While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

Remember, it's always morally correct to lie to get a vaccine
Fact check: Pfizer has been approved as well as novovax. Looks like they’ll all be shipping “within days”

Up to 60% of Americans will likely qualify

Oh, man.

So it's pretty well known that Elvis wanted to record "I Will Always Love You," but Dolly turned him down because Col Parker tried to shake her down for the publishing rights, and she was always sad and chagrined that it didn't work out.

Dear web designers: repeatedly imploring me to use your "AI assistant" will not make me use it. It will, however, get me to stop visiting your website (if I can); or to resent you and your company (if I cannot).

Me: food poisoning, food poisoning, food poisoning, food poisoning, food poisoning, FUCKING BLACK DEATH

I mean I know the other ones are much, much more common and probably kill more people in the modern world I just have a real bad reaction to Yersinia pestis
CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?
The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses.
As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

Timeline cleanse: American pikas calling to each other in the Canadian Rockies.

*this is likely a niche post, but it’s one of my favorite sounds in the world.

Take note!!: Passports.gov is now run from inside the White House, not from the state department. The state department operates US passport services through its existing site at travel.state.gov. The studio’s version collects identity information from people applying for passports.

i often think about the modest, stable, full life my parents were able to make and am furious it’s out of reach for almost everyone i know
it's really something isn't it? a modest ranch home? burgers on the grill on sunday? maybe drive down to the grand canyon with the kids this summer for a few days? you can't have that. so they can have everything
