24-hour update: Still a bit tired (slept 13 hours). Right arm, which got the flu shot, was briefly achy when I was going to sleep and now feels quite normal. The left arm, which got the COVID shot... well, it's getting better, but HOO BOY is it stiff. No lymph-node swelling or anything and everything seems pretty normal aside from the stiffness.
@BreakingNews May his memory be for a blessing. And also for a revolution.
@ExecutiveFunction404 I get that too -- have taken to walking around apres-shot windmilling my arms furiously, and it does seem to help. I'm about two hours in and mildly tired, but no major aching yet. We shall see...
Came to the local pharmacy for my flu shot and they asked me if I'd like to do the COVID booster while I'm here -- YES MA'AM I SURE WOULD -- kudos to the supply chain that got Moderna's Finest out here that quickly!
@YouInMyEye I would have chosen "bliss" but I guess "freedom" will do
@misslovelymess Not yet; was told to check back in a couple of weeks. Will get my flu shot in the meantime though, so that's something at least.

Trump Goes on Crazed, Violent Rant Calling for Death of His Enemies

@estherschindler I am, though now I am having another case of the OS/2 might-have-beens 😔
@Cosmichomicide I'd say the 18th arrondisement of Paris, but what I really want is an entire island in the Orkneys to myself -- plus a boat to go to the mainland when I wish, since no one is allowed on my island but me. (Spoiler: Very little time will be spent aboard boat.)
I grow weary of this busted-ass Monday, and the preserved lemons are ready at last. If anyone needs me, and I suggest you reconsider that, I will be working on my recipe for avgolemono soup. 🍋🍚🍗
@CanisPundit Ummmm... pass? Thank you for offering but hell no?

Trump Says We ‘Gotta’ Restrict the First Amendment

Vance: "A lot of Americans can't afford health insurance right now because it's one of many things that's gone through the roof," he added. "And Donald Trump has actually fought for affordable health care for the entire American citizenry."
This is a lie.
Trump wanted to eliminate Obamacare and have nothing in its place. Had Obamacare not existed more would have died.
Trumpcare is “Just die.”

@feloneouscat I work with a couple of doods who literally cannot hear the words that come out of my mouth until the second time around, when they come out of a male colleague's mouth*. Maybe The Shill is waiting for a maaaan to give that speech?
* Or, and hear me out, those specific colleagues are so fking stupid they need everything on five-minute delay.

“Harris and her team have done a remarkable job launching her presidential campaign and swinging the polls in her direction. Trump and the Republican Party have done a spectacularly bad job responding. But it all started with what is arguably one of the most selfless decisions in American political history.”
Thank you, Joe. We love you. You are a rare politician.
@DevinY1 I keep a tissue or two handy. Plenty of big emotions in these gathering days
