Me: Explains cancer treatment using #science

Patient (male): <looks at me in shock> “And you know all this?”

Me: “Sir, I have to know all of this; that’s how I became a board-certified medical oncologist”

Patient: <still clearly in shock>

(I think this is a culmination of the ease of internet “research,” where many truly cannot fathom the depths of learning over decades it takes to become an expert (compared to 5 min googling); anti-science; & worsening #misogyny everywhere)

You must give two things to your children
1. Roots - so they have a foundation to rely upon
2. Wings - so they can fly

Book recommendations help children do both.

How dare you publish this fucking garbage?

How dare you call student loan cancellation a "campaign promise" that Biden "failed to deliver"? That's a goddamned lie.

Biden has canceled nearly $144 Billion in student loan debt. He wants to cancel much more, but the Republicans have blocked him.

Say that. Do your goddamned job.

Think of the way angry white reactionaries who storm school board meetings are described as “concerned parents” – but Black parents are special interest groups and progressive educators are “activists.” 7/

This is absolutely priceless.

MAGA Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas has delayed her reply once more in the infamous #LecternGate case, where she allegedly tried to get Arkansas to pay USD 19,000 to her MAGA friend for a fake speaker’s lectern which was worth less than 1,000 dollars.

Ben Meiselas has the story:

They are being paid to push Russian propaganda, so they are traitors and should be expelled and arrested. This is an attack on the US.

Denied the nooses, firehoses, and dogs used in previous generations, Texas racists turn to mass firings, in keeping with the anti-DEI theories of Chris Rufo and other GOP darlings, to ensure that people of color never feel comfortable at the University of Texas. texastribune.org/2024/04/02/un

Feeding people is a noble mission. Our hearts go out to loved ones grieving the World Central Kitchen workers killed in Gaza.

Chef Jose Andres and his team have consistently stood with farm workers, from advocating for immigration reform to helping feed farm workers in the early pandemic.

For Google Plus users only: A Walk Down Memory Lane.

Five years ago today, Google commenced the shutdown of Google Plus. The process took several hours as different geographic regions of the world went dark, one after another.

Here is a blog post with screen shots of what our beloved social networking platform used to look like.

Amazon and Space X are fighting in court to have the National Labor Relations Board declared unconstitutional.

This means the two richest men on earth want to dismantle the agency that holds them accountable for union busting.

Nothing terrifies them more than worker power.

Your April Fools' Day Reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.
