Farewell to a talented composer and a funny guy. I loved listening to "Schickele Mix." If you haven't heard Peter Schickele's... sorry, I mean P.D.Q. Bach's "Music for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion," you should check it out. This is one of the funnier obituaries you will ever read. #Music #Comedy #PeterSchickele https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/17/arts/music/peter-schickele-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Ok0.kAhR.5sYgztW_11RE&smid=url-share
The #pharmacists were instructed this week that they cannot fill #misoprostol, #mifepristone or #methotrexate if the Rx is for fewer than 7 days and the diagnosis is #abortion. At that point, pharmacists have been instructed to tell the patient to get it from their doctor.

#Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves is calling a special session so the legislature can appropriate $350 million to bring an electric vehicle battery factory to the state. Getting electric vehicles built and carbon out of the atmosphere is no longer a partisan issue. https://www.mpbonline.org/blogs/news/gov-reeves-calls-special-session-to-offer-350-million-state-incentives-for-ev-battery-factory/
If you understand that Covid is airborne, and you can wear a mask, but you choose not to in crowded environments, at the supermarket, in the doctors etc… you’re behaving irresponsibly.
If you’re a healthcare worker and doing these things at work, you’re behaving dangerously irresponsibly.
If you know better, do better.
@TonyStark You know they're racist when they'd rather put children and senior citizens to work rather than allow an immigrant desperate to work through the southern border.
Another Republican is retiring.
It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to hold onto that majority in the House, particularly once you factor in all those angry women who normally don't vote coming to the polls over the abortion issue.
Like the song says, anger is a gift.

👉🏼💪🏼Judge Kaplan: Denied. #WompWomp
Grotesque and counterproductive mode of dissent. I wish it wasn’t becoming the norm, but it is.
Doctors and nurses and cancer patients are going to end up dealing with this, not whoever these people are trying to target. The rest of it, I’m out of words for.

Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY) intros resolution to censure Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY), arguing she supports "Jan6 insurrectionists"
Goldman: "Stefanik referred to the duly convicted insurrectionists as ‘hostages" .. & alleges she's spread Trump "conspiracy theories"
🙄Response from Stefanik spot: "Failed Far Left House Dems are in absolute desperate free fall that Elise Stefanik continues to be one of the most effective Members of Congress going on offense every single day..."
@otownKim If they’re not careful, they’ll wind up with President Biden until he chooses his own successor. @GottaLaff
This is what qualifies as good news these days
“Poland’s parliament has voted to remove the immunity from prosecution of a lawmaker who used a fire extinguisher to put out Jewish Hanukkah candles in the country’s parliament in December, an incident that caused international outrage.”
