“Walgreens announced last week that it would go ahead and refuse to dispense mifepristone in 20 states, in response to threatening letters from Republican attorneys general, because Walgreens is a fuckin' coward. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat obviously, has responded to that announcement by saying fine, then the state of California will quit doing business with Walgreens.”

This was my LinkedIn profile pic for MANY years because I could not possibly care less about LinkedIn.

In case you’ve forgotten…the war crimes, prisoner executions, murder of civilians, rape of women, the kind of brutality that you think only lives in your nightmares. Think again. Russian soldiers under Putin’s orders do this while you sleep soundly in your bed. Lest we forget. #SlavaUkraine

And you know how some dogs sense that you love them so they sort of follow you around like "I notice your hand is not doing anything and should probably pet me" and sometimes they'll just paw you to let you know they're there? Great Pyrenees are like if a fucking BEAR did that and their friendly nudge can BREAK THE SKIN.

Which is fine cuz they are big beardogs.

Suella Braverman's plans are cruel, unworkable & dehumanising. They also undermine one of the crucial pillars of international cooperation and humanitarian response. In a world in climate crisis we cannot afford this.

#Walgreens supports the Sedition Caucus and now will ban abortion pills.
It's well past time to #BoycottWalgreens.

If you use "you do you" I will add "boo" in my mind no matter how serious the conversation is.

This is the guy Elon decided to lambast last night.

Meme: Religion... it gives people hope in a world torn apart by religion.

#Pharmacists in #Iran were asked to force female staff to wear black veils at work. Male staff are now donning veils themselves in protest, and are asking colleagues around the world to do the same in support. If you are a pharmacist, please share. Would be great if lots of people did this tomorrow #WomensDay

I really need my fellow #space and #rocketry nerds to be calling out anyone defending or praising Musk.

Ouch, my heart is breaking. We just had about a dozen Security Program Managers have their positions eliminated from our group as part of the MS layoffs. Skills range from security product development to fundamentals and compliance to threat modeling and secure software design. If you're hiring for any positions like this, please respond below and I'll make sure they see these opportunities.

Buybacks are defended on the grounds that corporations have more revenue than they can wisely spend. But many of them—by one estimate, more than half—are financed with debt. My latest:

It wasn’t ever about saving lives. And it wasn’t ever about states’ rights, either.

These moves are just straight up attempts to install a theocracy. A segment of the population driven by religion wants to impose their own beliefs on everyone.

This is a Trump-appointed judge, by the way. I hate repeating myself, but elections matter.

My therapist: and how did that make you feel?
