The impending heatwave is cause for concern, but there's a shady spot just for you... because an all new Bullet Sunday starts... now...

   
• I May Die of Unshock! NEWSFLASH: Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi. All they had to do was put "Ted Cruz" in the headline and they could have saved me from reading the article. Then I'd automatically know something stupid and fucked up that's not in the best interest of the American people was being discussed.

   
• It Could Happen to You! "Please don't cut our Medicaid... those benefits are a safety net for everybody because you never know what might happen!" — FUCK YOU! NOW DRAG THEM THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

There we go. There it is. Eugenics in action. And, yes, I understand that disabilities are not necessarily genetic. But try explaining that to people who have no empathy. Try to explain to them that life can turn on a dime. Try to tell them that they could easily end up in a wheelchair because of a million reasons. I dare you to try and explain what ableism looks like by holding up a mirror. Because EVERY. TIME. I try to explain this to people who want people with disabilities to be discriminated against and lose benefits... they all feel that it could never happen to them, their family, or people they care about. Nope. Never. It's only these leeches who should be cared for by their families instead of taxpayers. My God this is the absolute worst. Well, a lot of people will find out the hard way that this actually does affect them when something awful happens that cannot be anticipated.

   
• Q! A shoe-in for my Best of 2025 Television List...

I was prepared to not care for it, because I thought for sure it was going to be one of those "damaged person makes everybody miserable" shows that we've seen a million times. This was nothing like that. It was smart, well-written, exceptionally-performed, and had a fresh take on the genre that I loved. Recommended.

   
• AKRAM! I just... Alexej Manvelov's character of "Akram" in Netflix's Dept. Q above leaves you wanting more in absolutely every scene he appears. In this short interview clip, they discuss how amazing it would be to have a prequel series which tells his store and how he came to the U.K., and I am totally on-board...

If they have the correct script, it could even eclipse the original series (which I very, very much hope gets future seasons). One episode left to go!

   
• United Parcel! Dear UPS... if you're going to charge me $104 to get a 2-lb. package half-way across the country via 2nd Day Air... YOU COULD AT LEAST MAKE IT SO THAT MACINTOSH USERS CAN PRINT YOUR SHIPPING LABLES! — Having to copy and paste the label into a second app so I can print to a PDF that I can place in a THIRD app is bullshit. — FIX YOUR WEBSITE!!! — If you leave the label instructions "on" for the label... you'll get no label at all. If you tell the system to leave instructions "off," you'll get a label you can't print... but you can drag your cursor over it and copy it. ASSUMING YOU CAN GET INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE. Does nobody test you crap out on a Mac so your customers can actually use your service? Doubtful.

   
• Disgusting. Fuck this fucking piece of shit for all eternity: Kennedy says US is pulling funding from global vaccine group Gavi — From Doctors Without Borders: "When we vaccinate in the community, parents line up for hours to give their children a chance to be protected from these deadly diseases. For these children, vaccination programs such as those supported through Gavi are a matter of life and death." — I am disgusted to my very core that RFK, an ignorant asshole who peddles disinformation as fact, could even be considered for a position which makes decisions about public health. He doesn't know shit. He's a grifter who doesn't believe in science, and we're stuck with his bullshit... no matter how many times he's been caught outright lying.

   
• Paper! Fearmongering assholes spreading bullshit for clicks is a plague on society. Fuck this asshole and everybody like him who spreads misinformation they don't even fucking bother to understand...

Meanwhile, serious shit that's actually a danger is ignored because people are focusing on this stupid misinformation crap.

   
And now back to our regularly-scheduled extreme hotness.
