“ran out of medication” me sneaks up on “functional and medicated” me
Clean towel, foil potato, can’t lose?
Can you even imagine how anyone involved felt?!? The exultation and relief of the researchers when they not only didn’t accidentally kill their patient but fixed him, the mind-blowing reality that he can move again as it sinks into the patient’s brain… !!! I cry about every overwhelming emotion, good or bad, and I don’t think I’d be able to stop crying for weeks.
I’m a little hesitant to wade into these waters - I’ve not been around Lemmy long and know Lemmygrad only by reputation - but I was a r/CTH lurker/commenter before it got quarantined, during the quarantine, and right up until it got banned, and from what I remember, the kinda tankie stuff I’ve heard that Lemmygrad espouses (however jokingly/sincerely) would get the kind of real pushback on CTH that started slapfights and flamewars. Idk how strong the “those bastards killed Rosa” component is over at Lemmygrad or how effectively they counter tankie bs, mostly because I’m too old and busy to bother with things that don’t enrich my life (like arguing online). Consequently, I absolutely understand and sympathize with not wanting to waste whatever precious time someone might have left to live engaging with genocide denial and other authoritarian handwaving.
I almost commented this reply from my lemmy.world account, but I decided to switch to be commenting from my midwest.social account - an explicitly leftist server - to back up my assertion that I’ve not seen any indication that lemmy.world is anti-left with demonstration of the federation between the servers. Idk why the defederation happened, but I’m skeptical of the idea that it was simply the fact of their leftism.
I don’t dispute for a second that Elon’s an idiot, but his ex-wife did ask him to buy and kill Twitter:
“Can you buy Twitter and then delete it, please!? xx” Riley allegedly texted Musk on March 24. “America is going INSANE.”
Maybe it’s not 3D chess but just transparent - yet effective! - stupidity. Buying Twitter was fiscally foolish, but it does seem like he’s gonna kill it, so 🤷

According to this informative video about the “super El Niño” we’re heading into, next year is going to be worse. Less easily dismissed, not that it’ll help. If we get any kind of extreme weather this winter before next year’s even hotter summer, that’ll be fodder for them, too. As we all know, anytime it snows, that proves climate change is a myth. 🙄
The fail whale!! 😍 What a cute and fun way that was to get an error! I had forgotten all about that but knew this image reminded me of something.
OP, this is awesome! The color and texture of the balloons, the expressive pose - it all adds up to something really special. Great work!!
My kid is in high school, and they communicate about emergencies through text, email, and automated calls. There are lots of jobs, especially low-paying ones, that will not let you check your phone during your shift, and they’re certainly not going to be okay with you leaving early to go pick up your kid. If the choice is “leave to pick up kid (who you know is safe with teachers), get fired,” versus “leave kid (who you know is safe with teachers), keep job,” it’s pretty simple math.
