TranscriptA tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying "I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!" with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying "this isn't how birthdays work"

Maybe due to all of the accomplishments of the Cheeto king's administration life expectancy will be measured in months to hide the fact that our collective life expectancy has been drastically reduced. When you got studies coming out saying that the poorest European lives about as long as the richest American, well you know you got a problem.

I did not think that was real. But it really is...

If 8 months equals a birthday, which used to be 12 months

And that's reflective of shortened life spans

Then life expectancy is 2/3 of what it was (8/12 = 2/3)

And I only expected to live to at most 60 before (obesity)

But I turn 40 this year...

Well, it's been nice knowing you all o7
