I would like to have more conversations about #TimeTravel #SoftSciFi and fun stories. I would also like to follow the kind of people with whom such conversations might arise.

I'd appreciate a boost to help me find wonderful future conversation partners.

I went deeper & found a local South Carolina paper. I don't think this was an 'ovation' for TFG:

#Hamas released a third group of hostages, keeping its truce with #Israel on track as negotiators work toward a possible cease-fire extension —WSJ

“The drug manufacturer Merck now lists Covid as the third most common cause of lymphocytopenia, right behind HIV infection. What's lymphocytopenia?

It's immunodeficiency.”

Universities are worrying about how to deal with "AI" That's the wrong question. The right question is how to assess what really matters. Marks for critical analysis, not writing style.

Colorado unemployment insurance rant from a blindness perspective 

* In order to receive unemployment payments in Colorado, one must complete true ID verification.
* This is not made clear until you open the form.
* As a screen reader user, I wondered if there was anything missing to complete my claim
* I called my DV disability advocate, to ask for help. I was transparent. I'm blind, and I don't know if I'm missing anything on this page that could hold me back from payment. She said, I see nothing.
* I open up this form 12 days after it's due. It says, check a box that says you understand if we don't receive this form by 11/13, we'll withhold payment.
* ... ... ... Already, I want to scream. So, I ask for visual help taking the picture of my ID card.
* A sighted family member takes the ID card pictures. At which time, a system analyzes them. It says, your images aren't clear enough. GO in natural light.
* It's past 8 PM in November. There is no daylight outside. So, I have to wait till tomorrow to take these pictures because this government analyzer is picky.
* In summation, Christopher says I should write a guide for disabled unemployed people who are laid off. And you know what? I think I will. I could have possibly received payments earlier, had I known, these stinking pictures need to be in daylight.
* Hope everyone's having a good Saturday.

"Never forget that it only takes one political, economic or religious crisis for women's rights to be put in jeopardy. Those rights are never to be taken for granted; you must remain vigilant throughout your life."

Farewell and thanks to Marty Krofft (1937-2023).

With brother Sid he created H.R. PUFNSTUF and some of the most memorably trippy kids shows of the 1970s.

He also produced DONNY AND MARIE, THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR and more in an epic career.

I love that transphobes are losing their mind over Doctor Who.

Cry your tears, assholes. CRY. YOUR. TEARS. 🤣🤣🤣. Your tears bring this fan (since late era Pertwee) great joy!

Hi folks! Just a PSA. 📢

When you share YouTube links, they often add a unique identifier at the very end. 📣

For eg:

Edit: https://youtube[.]com/watch?v=0KGc9jaQnRY&si=blbrupytfr

Edit: Everything from the "si" to the right is totally used for tracking purposes only. So delete that before you post/send the link. ⌨️🖱️

The final link should be https://youtu[.]be/eNYndWedZsE. 📲

Thank you!

LBJ's notes for his first meeting with President Kennedy's Cabinet, sixty years ago yesterday:

@CivilityFan
Whenever they say "religious freedom," they mean the exact opposite.

"Antisemitism is soaring in US medicine"

nypost.com/2023/11/24/opinion/

"In a new report, we’ve documented many of the antisemitic outbursts that have characterized much of medicine since Oct. 7.

Many doctors and medical students have torn down posters of kidnapped Israelis.

One nurse publicly claimed that allegations of sexual violence committed by Hamas must be propaganda, since 'ain’t no Muslim Palestinian resistant fighter touching your women."

Doctor Who making the transphobes rage. And on BBC & Disney! You love to see it
