Defense secretary Pete Hegseth makes announcement and calls military’s flu vaccine mandate ‘broad’ and ‘not rational’
George Chidi at The Guardian:
Members of the US armed services will no longer be required to have an annual flu vaccination shot under a new policy announced Tuesday by Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary. In a video statement posted to social media, Hegseth described the mandate as “overly broad” and “not rational” and the decision to drop the vaccine requirement as “seizing this moment to discard any absurd overreaching mandates that only weaken our war fighting capabilities”. The policy change applies to active duty, reserve component and civilian personnel, according to a Pentagon memorandum released Tuesday.
“If you, an American Warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it,” Hegseth said in his statement. “You should. But we will not force you, because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.” The US army developed the first flu vaccine at the start of the second world war due to concern of a repeat of the influenza outbreak of 1918 and its effect on military readiness and combat capabilities. Soldiers served as large-scale test subjects for the program at the University of Michigan. Its first widespread use was licensed for the military in 1945 and later for civilians.
An annual flu vaccination has been required for service members for more than 80 years, with some exemption granted for severe allergies or pregnancy, or for administrative reasons including sincere religious beliefs.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s announcement of scrapping the flu vaccine mandate for US armed services members is anti-common sense, and a sign that corrosive anti-vaccine extremism is being normalized by a sizable chunk of the GOP.

I love this text post so I drew it
Any suggestions for where I can get a nice long jacket with some character? Looking for something between full LARP and hot topic, that I can wear daily. Thx
there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them
I use spicy to describe food
my food is mentally ill and I’m putting my dick in it

Danny as the Ghost King and God of Space who has been alive for far too long and decided to jump into the DC dimension. He’s bored, whimsical, and mischievous. He grabs a piece of cardboard and writes:
Challenge me to a game of your choosing. Loser grants any one (1) wish the winner asks.
And, of course, people roll their eyes at it. They roll their eyes at the clearly homeless young man on the street corner with the weird sign. Some toss him some change every now and then, but no one “challenges” him.
Then, someone does.
if you work retail long enough i think you should be given license to kill
new hire: you can tell the customers to go fuck themselves if they start acting mean
1 year: you are allowed to maim or seriously injure
3 years: you can kill a customer if they start a fight and you can prove they provoked you
5 years: you can kill customers on the clock in any scenario, no questions asked
10+ years: you can kill any customers in any stores
addendum: during holiday season they give the entire staff a machete regardless of how long they’ve worked retail and whatever happens, happens
Danny Needs a Girlfriend Part 3
The burger was gone in three bites. Cass was efficient like that.
Danny, still not entirely sure if he was dreaming or just hallucinating due to ghost-core burnout, watched her from the corner of his eye.
“So, uh… just for my own peace of mind,” he began cautiously, “did Dani bribe you into this? Or threaten you? She's very persuasive when she wants to be. Once convinced Vlad to dress up as a clown for a week. I still have the blackmail footage.”
Cass tilted her head, then gave a small shake. “No threats. No bribes.”
Danny blinked. “Wait… you volunteered to come find me?”
Another small nod.
He stared at her, baffled. “Do you know what dating me would even look like?”
Cass shrugged.
“I’m serious! There’s ghost attacks, and people screaming in Latin, and my room’s a disaster, and I talk to dead people sometimes—like, friendly dead people, but still. I’m basically radioactive Spider-Man with extra trauma and a thermos collection.”
Cass took a moment. Then pointed at herself.
“Trained assassin,” she said softly.
Danny paused. “Touché.”
Cass smiled. The kind that barely tugged at the corners of her lips but felt like a full grin.
Then she said, “Ghosts are honest. More than people.”
Danny’s eyebrows lifted. “That’s… yeah. Actually, yeah.”
They sat in silence for a bit. Not awkward. Just quiet. The kind of quiet Danny didn’t get to enjoy often.
Then Cass turned slightly toward him.
“You saved people,” she said. “Alone.”
Danny shrugged, cheeks turning a little pink. “Had to. No one else was going to. And, well… I died for the first time because of my parents' lab accident, so it kind of felt like—my responsibility? You know?”
She nodded slowly.
“I see you,” she said. “I like what I see.”
Danny blinked, dumbfounded. “Wow. You, uh—don’t mess around, do you?”
Cass just shrugged, like duh.
Danny rubbed the back of his neck. “I mean, I’m not saying no. You're… kind of amazing. And gorgeous. And scary in a cool way. Just… I don’t want you to think I’m some tragic half-dead boy project.”
“You’re not,” Cass said instantly. “You’re just… Danny.”
He looked at her for a long moment. Then, softly: “You really do see people, huh?”
Cass didn’t answer. She didn’t need to.
From the rooftop across the street, Dani was lying on her stomach, binoculars in one hand, Fenton phone in the other.
“Tucker, Tucker, he shared his burger. That’s practically ghost proposal level. And she didn’t even flinch when he mentioned the thermos thing!”
“Dani,” Tucker said, voice dry through the phone, “have you considered giving them privacy?”
“I gave him a girlfriend. He’ll forgive me.”
“You’re impossible.”
“I learned from the best.”
Back on the rooftop, Danny and Cass were now sharing ghost stories. Literally.
“She said she’d haunt my locker if I didn’t return her grandma’s locket,” Danny was saying. “So I tried to give it back, but it turned out she wanted me to keep it as a fashion upgrade. I don’t even wear jewelry. Except for this one time when—”
Cass leaned her head on his shoulder mid-sentence.
Danny froze.
Then melted.
“…Okay. Yeah. I’m not gonna fight this.”
He leaned back against her gently, and for the first time in a while, the world felt… quiet.
Peaceful.
Even with Gotham below and ghosts above, something about this moment just fit.
And in the back of his mind, Danny made a mental note:
Step One: Thank Dani. Step Two: Hide every embarrassing baby photo she tries to show Cass. Step Three: Learn how to make better grilled cheese.
He had a feeling he was going to need it.
Operation: Ghost Bat Romance Status: In Progress. Success Probability: 100%. Next Mission: Convince Batman not to kill him.

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3
The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.
Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.
Everyone's comments?
"Why did they block the doors and stop the train? So selfish" Selfish were workers who refused to do their job.
"What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently? They shouldn't have stopped the train" It wasn't the disabled people's fault, it was the workers who were negligent.
"Why didn't they just wheel themselves down those steps?" They shouldn't have to risk their (expensive) chairs just because people didn't do what they were paid to do.
"If I had been in that train I would've been pissed, how dare you stop it" And you probably wouldn't have even thought about fixing the problem yourself, would you?
"Entitled assholes" Ok I'll leave you stranded in a train with everyone who could help you get down outright refusing to. Let's see who's an entitled asshole now.
If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.
So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.
Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.
[ Able-bodied people are encouraged to reblog this post, but try not to derail ]
“What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently?” What if the fucking disabled people had needed to get to their stop urgently?????
This one needs to go right next to the Baltimore accent with the Aaron earns an iron urn.
In case anyone hasn't seen it
love how english started as a rhotic language and half the native speakers said, "oh, Fuck That Noise"
What I DEEPLY LOVE about the Baltimore one is how mad HE IS to realize what his own accent did to it. XD He's SO MAD. XD XD
my personal favorite
Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus
They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her
I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.
Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW.
Odysseus: Regret it why?
Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.
Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in.
*A couple of months later*
Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit.
Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure.
Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family.
Cassandra: Penelope, I’ve had another vision.
Penelope, sighs: Go tell your father.
DO NOT UNMUTE IF YOU EASILY GET MUSIC LOCKED INTO YOUR MEMORY
I fear, genuinely, for the day far into the future when I'm in court at a crucial moment and this suddenly blasts full volume in my mind.
Happy one year anniversary to the most uplifting anime song to grace the internet!
You, too, can be a hero! ✊
