Oh! I thought “daylight savings” was another US-only thing like our Freedom units and our slobbering worship of guns.

It’s 18 minutes to Monday in London, as I write this

It’s thin gruel this week, but I’ll take it.

/Bannon!? No overthrowing the country! Not during an election year. Enough of your shit, young man, you’re in tine-out. Go sit in a corner for a few minutes and think about how you can be more subtle next time.

You get what you pay for, though. I’ve had nothing but good experiences as an Amex card holder. You need to live a lifestyle that gives you opportunities to use the system, but you can offset the cost of even the Platinum charge card if you sign up for, and then use, all the perks.

For how I use it, I’d say it pays for itself.

edit to add: their customer service is always stellar, and their disputes department are really effective.

Live by the Mango, die by the Mango.

No love for CNN here, but that was the right move this time. One hopes it’s the fresh start they needed.

(Also? One despairs that, at long last, this is that fresh start that won’t be.)

Excellent.

The tears will be delicious, and I shall slurp them.

SLURP THEM, I say!

Oh I could have so much fun with this meme template.

I love this for VA-7. We need more of this

I get it. Like trump and Milwaukee, I love gin while I’m drinking it but the next morning I’m like “noooooo, why?”

This is like that, but ipso reverso.

Gosh, I dislike that trump fella.

Don’t be baffled, White House, you’re being played. We all see it. We know you see it. Quit it.

Pull back the package. Give it to Ukraine instead.

Baffled. Hah! Geopolitics 101 here. Yeesh.

Just Jersey things.

Unboxed?

Worthless.

I think this is the point, as much as it is indoctrination.

It will have two effects, one of which is to water down the efficacy of the US military with a bunch of disaffected conscripts and the other to attempt a capture of the “activist” years for what will be the dominant post-Boomer voting block.

The article discusses several classes of medication, and calls out a few brands. Here’s the digested list:

• Diuretics (“water pills” commonly used to manage high blood pressure and some kidney diseases) make you pee.more -> dehydration
• ACE inhibitors (blood pressure management)
• Beta Blockers (another class of blood pressure medication)
• Calcium channel blockers (another class of BP meds)
• “Antipsychotic medications such as haloperidol, olanzapine and risperidone”
• “Some antidepressants” which lead have side effects of excessive sweating and repressing thirst -> dehydration
• “Stimulants, such as amphetamines and other drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder”
• “Some over-the-counter antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), promethazine and doxylamine (Unisom)”

Short story longer, if you regularly take any of these classes of drugs and heat advisories are actove, be sure to follow precautions and stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, wear loose, light colored clothing, and consider adopting a neat looking wide-brim hat as part of your summer “look.” I’m going to shill for Tilley hats here, because they’re rugged construction, timelessly stylish, and are appropriate in most situations.
