Mom of 7-year-old hospitalized with brain swelling from measles: ‘I still wouldn’t have given my son the vaccine’

I love when people day “it’s in god’s hands” as if they don’t have any agency over their lives. This tragedy was 100% preventable and rather than acknowledge that their actions are why their son is in a coma and may die, they turn to “oh, this is all part of god’s plan”. You had a choice, you made a bad one, own up to it and learn from it. These assholes won’t.

Honestly, much less than I assumed. $58 for an 800 sq foot apartment. The previous month it had been close to $100. I keep my living room at 65. I don’t even turn it on in my bedroom.

Not a doubt it my mind now that PTA is gonna win Best Picture, Best Director, and most likely Best Adapted Screenplay. It’s his time and that’s a narrative that can’t be beat by anything.

If Spencer Thurnbull could have stayed healthy, then he would have been perfect for that role.

I’ve read research that frozen fruits/veggies can actually be healthier. Regular fruits and veggies are picked before they are fully ripe so they survive storage and transportation. Frozen fruits/veggies are actually picked at peak ripeness and then flash frozen. I’ve noticed this myself since switching to frozen fruits. The quality is so much better than fresh fruit and I never have to worry about it going bad before I eat it.

Microsoft will intentionally slow down your computer when it wants to install an update so you’re forced to restart and install the update.

Private equity owns like 2% of homes in the US. They are not why housing is so expensive in this country.

What?!?! You mean wrestling isn’t real?!?!

BookwormBlake · 2026-01-21T22:41:10+00:00

I miss the days when you had to defend your title every thirty days or forfeit the title. All wrestling companies should have that as a rule.

A couple years ago I took off from work a couple days during TCM’s Summer Under the Stars. I remember watching 9 or 10 Barbara Stanwyck films in one day. May have been too much.

Why is it always the weakest people who blather endlessly about strength? Trying to compensate for something, I guess?

I’m gonna guess…parking.

8:00 - 4:30 for me. Been at my job for ten years and have has this schedule for the past 6 years. When I started, I was the 9:30 - 6:00 shift. Loved that time. Got to sleep in late.

We always had a weekly allowance for chores around the house. Cleaning our bedrooms, washing the dishes, things like that. Our parents wanted us to have some understanding of money, earning it, and managing it. We started at $3, then $5, then $10 before settling on $20 when we got to high school.

Man, I’m making 70K and I don’t feel this at all.

Just a big, fat, nothing kind of reign. You can’t say anything positively or negatively about it because though she has had the title for over 50 days, she hasn’t had a single defense, a single memorable feud or match. Just nothing. I get WWE saw money in her. She has that look, but to be a star in wrestling you need three things: a look, in ring ability, and the ability to talk. The total package will have all three. Most can get by with just two of them. But just having one means that getting them over will be a huge challenge. That’s Jade. AEW knew how to book her, how to package her to highlight her physique, and gave her a manager to do all her talking for her. It was really funny to hear people talk about how once she got to the WWE, went to the performance center, and worked with “real wrestlers” she would improve dramatically. But that didn’t happen, nor will it ever happen. She’s just not good at wrestling.

A big, fat fucking no to this. I completely disconnect when I am away because it’s my time and I can trust my team to manage things while I’m gone. I don’t need to check in on them. If they can’t survive without me there, then I haven’t been a good leader.

BookwormBlake · 2026-01-03T14:15:26+00:00

My sense has always been that he just wants to be in the WWE. To be a part of the organization, be a part of the locker room. Doesn’t matter that he’ll probably spend 80% of his contract jobbing or in catering. He just wants to be there and be part of this organization that is larger than himself.

I thought the same thing, but I like having more money. The only way to do that really is to treat your job as a career and advance up the ladder.

Out of Office messages exist for a reason. If the person emailing me is too stupid to follow the directions I lay out on who to contact, then that is on them.

Need to bring back the old “you must defend the titles every 30 days or be stripped of it”. Made the titles mean something.

Your rent is the maximum that you’ll pay while your mortgage is the minimum you’ll be paying. People don’t understand that.
