Congratulations to my American friends on the appointment of their new HHS secretary!
@riskybusiness who knew that the Oregon trail passed through every state

@riskybusiness The sarcasm. It incinerates.

It's so, so, so grimly true.

@riskybusiness
Ah the good old days, playing games on an Apple IIe and still believing in American democracy.
@riskybusiness @steve I’m sure ill die of something better, cooler than “dysentery.”
@riskybusiness In a democracy one gets what one votes for even if you sat back and didn't vote at all. Not voting is a vote. #collective_reponsibility is still a thing

@riskybusiness

(The US is really impressing me with the rapid progress it is making.)

It's remarkable how smoothly the #USA has transitioned from being the world's greatest #Superpower to being the world's greatest object of #Ridicule and #Derision

@riskybusiness Well trump did talk about the Tallahassee trail a while back, so this is poetic.

(he meant the Appalachian trail though)

@riskybusiness
Congrats on your new HHS secretary, Patrick. Hope they know more about healthcare than you do about picking profile pics where you don't look like a startled thumb.

@riskybusiness

Never thought I'd be a medical tourist for fucking vaccines...

@riskybusiness I can hear the depressing music...
@riskybusiness
Me thinks those are crocodile tears Sir … 🤔 🙄 😜
@riskybusiness could a brain worm save me?

@riskybusiness

#AltText The Oregon Trail game covered wagon and text that reads, "You have died of dysentery."

@riskybusiness Just to be clear, it hasn't happened yet. Trump isn't president yet, he hasn't made any formal nominations, and those nominations could yet fail confirmation in the Senate. It's at least two months away and a lot can change between now and then.
@josh it’s a joke :)
@riskybusiness That's fair but I know (from direct experience) that many people don't know the timeline.
