Yeah, it’s Android and press/hold only gives options of sharing the same link and not opening in a new window. I have posted here from imgur before but user error today. Anyway, let’s stick with the Mitch funnies! ---

I can only make it work on an Android if I go to the Imgur website in a browser, not the Imgur app. I can’t recall right now, but I might have to choose the “Desktop site” version of Imgur as well ---

I still like whoever first called him Glitch McConnell. ---

On a mobile device, I copy the image with press-and-hold, then paste it into the address bar. That gives me the URL for the picture itself. Then I copy the new URL from the address bar, and paste _that_ into Discourse, which will usually render it properly (depending on host and image type). That seems to work on both my iPhone and my Android tablet. (The problem with Android is that there is no consistency from model to model, unlike Apple products, and it’s the wild west, so it’s nearly impossible to give proper instructions unless you have the exact same device to test it with.) ---

Two text ones I saw go by (excuse any inaccuracies, I’m going from memory) - I dreamt I was walking along the beach with Mitch McConnell. I looked behind us and saw only one set of footprints. I asked him what happened, and he said “Oh, that was when you carried me.” And then he took away my health insurance. - To be fair, remaining technically alive for a few extra weeks as part of some underhanded manipulative political ploy based on an obscure administrative rule is _exactly_ how he’d want to go out. ---

There’s undoubtedly a better thread for this, but: > **[They Lied to You About CPR. Mitch McConnell Is the Proof.](https://nicholasjorcutt.substack.com/p/they-lied-to-you-about-cpr-mitch?triedRedirect=true)** > > They Want You to Think CPR Is a Reset Button. It Isn't. An apparent EMT writing in fairly gruesome detail about CPR and it’s aftermath, particularly for the elderly. ---

Wow, what a powerful essay. I’m also glad I have a DNR, now how to make sure the EMTs read it! ---
