If there is an opposite of this, it's possibly Babe: Pig in the City. They managed to make a kid's sequel feel like an acid trip, which made it weirdly engaging.

Fun fact: They banned chemtrails in Florida and weeks afterward, DeSantis was still getting angry tweets from his constituents online because they were "still seeing chemtrails." Genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen, straight-up appealing to the dumbest possible people

RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"

Somewhat related, but the reason the Netflix show The Audacity doesn't work is you can't even laugh at these losers because they are ruining the country.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

This isn't even as "free market libertarian" as it sounds because a private board approves which drugs here instead of the government and the first to be approved is by a company trying to repurpose an otc drug (more in comments).

This is the company: parleyneuro.com their hearing loss drug isn't new biotech, it's Clemastine an old OTC antihistamine that was found to have myelin regrowth potential (& was promptly made harder to get & very expensive in the US immediately after vs EU pharmacies where it's about 11 Euro a pack)

Something similar happened with Oxymetazoline eye drops. Used to be the ingredient in Visine L.R. but it was discovered it could be used to treat ptosis so now it's expensive and rx only.

To be clear, Parley isn't why it's expensive here. They are just one of many companies who will likely try to patent an OTC (in this case with their sound protocol). The drug has attracted interest from many companies looking to treat MS from the get go.

They are being short sighted and dumb, your fame protects resistance because the last thing they want is for you to get arrested and become a symbol.

What you need to understand is that I kind of can’t. I’ve been blocked out. I can try to do other, similar-ish things but this nonsense is making it much harder for me to touch the grass I desperately want to touch. It’s frustrating!

It is a cute photo (fat cats are cute which is maybe part of the problem). I'm worried about GLP-1 drugs being a short cut for undisciplined owners and the muscle loss (that older cats already struggle with) that will likely accompany its use.

The 50 year mortgage idea kind of proves Maga are capable of having critical thought but only if it personally affects them. They can tell when the leopards are eating their own face which is more credit than I've previously given them.

I hate that progressism isn't willing to take baby steps when the alternative is literally Trump. The Harris resistance libs at least understood how much worse Trump is.

Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously. Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them. (thread)

You don't get to be the state last in education without constantly working to maintain that standard.

1. The Superintendent of Public Schools in Oklahoma announces a partnership to establish a Turning Point USA chapter in every Oklahoma high school.

Disagree. They lost the non Maga when they caved. Now they'll also lose Maga when they try to get the sane people back. Would be better if this served as a cautionary tale you couldn't undo.

I can’t wait to see Disney’s stock on Monday. They said Kimmel could be brought back as soon as Monday. Let’s strongly incentivize them to do so.

Imagine if celebrities just left Twitter, as well. It'd be as much of a ghost town as Truth Social. Entertainers are where the power lies in this.

This happened in Utah, would be crazy if Charlie Kirk's killer turned out to be Mormon, since Kirk criticized the LDS Church as being not a real Christian Church. How would the right spin it, if so.

Imagine seeing this and then buying a Trump branded Bible, but Maga will

Would you let your underage daughter be alone in a room with the man who sent this fawning, naked-girl-featuring birthday card to the most infamous child sex trafficker of his generation (who at the time was the card-sender’s best friend)? No? Then why is he still president?

Stay strong Chi <3

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Temple Grandin wrote a book about animal minds that suggests animals do think more like autistic people. But also, yeah, protect your dog and yourself from Rabies.

Laura Jedeed@laurajedeed.bsky.social

Obviously rabies vaccines don't cause doggy autism, but also, and I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: dogs are already pretty autistic Like oh no will my dog hyperfixate on a toy? Will he become upset when his routine is disrupted? What if he gets agitated by loud noises or crowds?!
