A nice little chart of the Caffeine Content of Foods and Drugs — from NoDoz to Coffee to Soda to Ice Cream to Chocolates. Interesting.

(More jittery caffeine news previously reported on here.)

"Federal #watchdog says Trump’s $810M funding cancellation is #unconstitutional"

Which, of course, is why #Trump gets rid of every "watchdog" he can. #GAO

I Am Old Enough To Remember when one of the big conservative arguments against #SocializedMedicine was that the gubbiment would have access to everyone's health care data.

So apparently they'll get access to that data anyway, and without bothering about socialized medicine.

We can't auto-enroll folks to vote. We can't auto-enroll kids to get vaccines. We can't auto-enroll families for food stamps But apparently we can auto-enroll children into slush-funds-for-investment-banker-friends "Trump Accounts".

If #Trump gave one shit about the #KennedyCenter as an arts institution, he wouldn't care about getting credit for "saving" it. That he insists he'll let it fall apart and then be demolished unless *his* name is plastered at the top of the sign, since only he can (or will be allowed to) raise the money demonstrates it's only stroking his colossal ego he's concerned with. To hell with him.

Madness. This shit has gone so far past "not normal" that we can't even see normal in the read-view mirror. They've had to build a whole new wing for the Overton Window to shift to.

#Trump is an existential threat to the American republic, not just for what he does, but for what he lays the groundwork for others to do now and in the future.

My personal 1st-run #TOS story:

Probably s.3, when it aired at 10pm instead of 8:30. As a 7yo, that was too late for me to be up, resulting in a battle each week.

Once I was really miffed about being sent to bed before #StarTrek, so I locked the hallway door the previous owners had put in. I then fell fast asleep. When my parents went to bed, they had to tap on the bedroom window to wake up my younger brother to unlock the door for them.

No recollection of the immediate consequences.

The only thing #Trump is proving with his petty, childish, look-at-me antics about #LakeOntario is demonstrating how easily such renamings can be rolled back once the dolt is out of office.

It'll take a bit more effort to scrape off all the cheap, gaudy, gilt rococo he's festooned the #WhiteHouse with.

Because we have an insecure, Daddy-issues, petulant child in the #WhiteHouse, expect higher #toiletpaper prices in the US. Which, given the rising tide of shit around here (not least of which from food-borne illnesses), is bad news.

Maybe time to look into a bidet.

The point of anti- #drag laws is not, of course, that the person pushing for them does not want to go to drag shows, but that they don't want anyone else to be able to go to them, either. Liberty for me, but not for thee.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
