  1. My uncle used to live at 59th and Sutton Place. CSB.
  2. I'm pretty sure that's Ziggy Sobotka. Someone call McNulty.
  3. Looks like he's had a stroke.
  4. You should PM Derka about that.
  5. So I'm not going to comment here on a gun violence incident that occurred at a school today (technically not on point because it wasn't a mass shooting). Oh, wait? There was more than one? Cool. Thoughts and prayers on the other one. There's a post at the top of the DT forum. Best to leave it alone.
  6. So this is Beto 2.0? Cool. I'll support him but, (Ain't nobody gonna beat sideye).
  7. Wow. Is this a workswithseed sock?
  8. Poland Has Invoked NATO’s Article 4. What Comes Next? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/world/europe/what-is-nato-article-4.html?unlocked_article_code=1.k08.0HUe.OPnKSO74QuFi&smid=url-share Free link
  9. Tell me you're an incel without saying you're an incel.
  10. Correct. I actually was the founding member and first president of my chapter at UF Law.
  11. When it comes from official government sources it's even harder to maintain that cognitive discipline.
  12. Super [serious]?
  13. College football?
  14. I'm sure Ana will be along any minute to explain why this is all good.
  15. No, it absolutely is true, and you're gaslighting. I'm not evading anything. You are the one who regularly evades direct questions and then claims "ad hominem" when someone calls you out on it (while making the exact sort of ad hominem attacks/arguments on other posters). It's really tiresome, frankly. I'm not a public health expert so I can't comment on what the CDC should or shouldn't be doing. But the fact that RFK Jr. gutted the entire ACIP and top CDC officials in favor of a new appointee who has no experience in the realm is absolutely irresponsible. The net effect of what has been done (removing the recommendations) is that people are EFFECTIVELY being prevented from accessing vaccines that could save lives of not just those seeking them but others with whom they interact (like spouses of cancer patients, etc.) And it is true. Don't just take my word for it: "People who are not officially eligible for the vaccines may still be able to get the shots for themselves or their children by getting a doctor's prescription and paying out of pocket. But that may create insurmountable barriers for many people. The COVID shots can cost $200 or more without insurance, and getting a doctor's appointment for vaccination can be difficult." https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/08/27/nx-s1-5515503/fda-covid-vaccines-restricted?utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=bsky.app
  16. Does this healthy male adolescent interact with immunocompromised or otherwise high risk individuals? Because right now healthy adult caregivers who do no longer can get boosters in many jurisdictions, thanks to RFK Jr. That makes lots of sense, doesn't it? Look, by all means I'm in favor of giving people the choice whether to get COVID and flu boosters. I've gotten pneumonia vaccines from time to time as well (having suffered it several times in my adulthood). What is infuriating at this particular time is that RFK Jr. has effectively prevented many who would choose to get those vaccines from getting them, either by requiring prescriptions, causing insurance no longer to cover the cost, or placing other hurdles to access.
