Seems like something Chris Hooks would say (or not).

He and Evan posted some real "gently caress you" messages to Abbott. I am still unemployed and I get Twitter is dangerous for trying to get a job, but at this point I can't get myself to not angry-tweet. (My angry-tweets are still most people's normal tweets, but the advocacy world is half about sucking up to Rs because they have all the power.)


It's also cool how Rs guilted Ds over the 13th check, foster care, Article X, and those bills are nowhere near the house floor now. (Predictable.)

Glad the party of fiscal conservatism just defunded DPS to spend $2 billion on border security to build the wall because "wall good, why not?" There was hardly better reasoning in the floor debate. Look forward to the next time a bill has a $100k fiscal note to cure some major problem, they'll be like "wooooww, we have to be cautious with those tax dollars!"

Now...HB 20...who keeps giving Briscoe bills to defend? He's so bad at it.

Whats the over-under on feet of fence actually built this time? 50? Trump built like 2 miles of fence in four years right?

This is of course not counting the fence that was already there which he merely replaced with fence that was easier to tear down and easier to climb.

Really read what says. A group of young conservative activists broke into a WILD CHEER when they were given MEDICATION ADVICE. Think about that.

I wish I had loving been there to ask one of these people "Why did you CHEER for that?" Do you think they would even consider how loving absurd that is if confronted about it?

At least with poo poo like "The wall just got 10 feet taller" a normal human can understand why it would make you hype.

Greg Abbott and the rest of the state republican party furiously trying to block any attempt to prevent this from happening because the GOP primary voters have totemized masks as "liberal". Oh and they will pay zero political consequences for any of it. A failure of this magnitude should result in a loss of seats for the ruling party, but it won't because policy outcomes and electoral outcomes are completely disconnected now.

Its literally true. All this time there could have been a measurable demographic shift if Obama had ever come out and said something along the lines of "Remember, it's a good idea to continue breathing. Oh and stay hydrated."

If it wasn't true before Trump's election, it's definitely true now.

We are in the dumbest loving universe where a good chunk of our population refuses to take care of themselves, in fact actively seek self-harm to get imaginary victories over their opponents, because their entire thought process is "gently caress You"

lol you think you're kidding
Michelle Obama, Hyponatremia, Adult Diapers, and Other Hydration-Related Issues

quote:

For America's aging population, even the mention of water makes a large number of Baby Boomers sprint toward the nearest restroom. Now to compound the problem, we have first lady Michelle Obama hawking increased water consumption.

Despite the bottled water industry raking in $11.1 billion dollars in 2011 alone and the fact that Americans are already drinking roughly 30 gallons of bottled water per year, Michelle (code name H2O) is quenching her thirst while earning her keep, reminding over-hydrated Americans to hydrate.
...
The "Drink Up" water campaign, bless its heart, is new, so while it's off to a rousing start, there are quite a few hurdles to surmount.


For instance, "Let's Move!" Central has not issued specific instructions to the water drinkers in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, where the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri was recently found in the tap water. Although there is an experimental German drug called miltefosine to which the CDC expanded access to this summer, it's doubtful the life-saving drug will be covered under Obamacare.

For safety sake, let's hope the residents of St. Bernard Parish aren't rinsing their Michelle Obama-mandated organic kale in tap water, Neti-potting their clogged sinuses, or, after sweating along to a Beyoncé "Move Your Body" video, glugging gallons of tap water to cool down.

Then there's another problem that may arise: drinking an overabundance of water can be deadly!

Although bastion of moderation Michelle Obama consistently makes healthy lifestyle choices for herself (ahem), low-information lemmings can become presidential people-pleasers and might overdo it.

Moreover, while the first lady still recommends less sodium in our diets, drowning ourselves on a cellular level could lead to a condition called hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is an electrolyte imbalance that causes sodium levels in the body to become dangerously diluted, resulting in symptoms like queasiness, vomiting, headache, and confusion, and can even escalate to convulsions, coma, and death.

An epidemic of sodium depletion, along with the threat of Louisiana brain-eating amoeba, could definitely place undue stress on our fledgling healthcare system. Not to mention water addiction, which manifests as a mental disorder called polydipsia, sufferers of which have been known to compete with the family dog for toilet water.
...
So as you can see, although good intentions are the motivation behind "Drink Up," thanks to the wide spectrum of human behavior mucking up the works, drinking more water is not without its problems.
