Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.

Posting is fun and venting is great for you. Unfortunately, accounts by political leaders are mostly run by junior staffers and not official. Find your Federal congress person here and then send them a message on the issues that matter to you. www.house.gov

Bullsht federal fee for EV drivers in bipartisan house bill. $130/yr growing to $150/yr. Twice as much as what gas car owners effectively pay. insideevs.com/news/796222/...

All these "news" articles about how to save are normally ways to spend more. Best way to save is to not spend. Continue using the stuff that still works. Eat at home over going out. Otherwise, we are just getting used to higher prices and creating debt we can't get out of. #dontspend

Important to recognize she's not an idiot, she knows the data centers being built are AI-specific and that the extreme power and cooling demands arise specifically from GPUs, not data storage or transmission. She's repeating lies that lobbyists told her to say to confuse the public.

MAGA and Republicans hate taxes... unless it's to hurt a political opponent. I already pay $200/year in my state. There's no way that paying another $130 is reasonable. They're talking about suspending the gas tax while creating new taxes for EVs. Should be illegal! insideevs.com/news/796222/...

Mass Deportation is just a euphemism for ETHNIC CLEANSING

Ultimately, They want to Deport Americans who Can Legally Vote Against Them….

“The future is already here, it just not evenly distributed” - SciFi author William Gibson said that (he also invented the term “cyberspace”). I saw proof of that this morning with an Ioniq 5 EV parked in front of a house with solar panels. The future is now for more people each day. #ev #solar

People need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Being anti-censorship doesn't mean you have to consume or pretend to like content that isn't for you. Censorship is *systemic* blocking. You're still allowed to *personally* avoid and block any kind of stuff you don't vibe with, for any reason, and you don't owe an explanation for it.

damn, AOC is out there doing @jamellebouie.net columns in her speeches now, that’s wild

Angry about a mainstream discourse that has somehow declared it uncouth, or not “sophisticated” enough, or too “divisive” to acknowledge that racism, patriarchal domination, and Christian supremacism are the animating forces in today’s Republican Party.

It's not a given that just any Democratic majority turns back the tide. It matters who we send to Washington. The Democrats with the biggest war chests in my race are either opposed to or silent on impeachment, prosecutions, and Supreme Court expansion. Support candidates who will fight for them.

My book is very very quickly turning into a treatise on how the targeting of immigrants is a vehicle for fascism. It’s happening before our eyes and every day it’s getting worse.

took these last week in riverside, california from mr. rubidoux park, which was pretty neat. i used a panasonic lx10, which is a pocket-sized point and shoot with a 1-inch sensor and a very sharp lens.

Someone on the electric vehicles subreddit just referred to non-EV drivers as "muggles" and I swear to Nodens, EV enthusiasts are some of the biggest obstacles to actual EV adoption.

💯

Just stop reporting everything that comes out of his mouth or fingers. Report on facts. Follow up with sources to confirm facts. It's journalism 101 and it's been completely abandoned by most major news outlets.

The Supreme Court moved unusually fast tonight, letting last week’s major voting rights ruling take effect immediately after Louisiana Republicans asked the court to skip the standard 32-day waiting period before a decision is certified and returned to a lower court.

California will soon have more than 300 data centers. Where will they get their water? grist.org/drought/cali...

“Trump’s grip on the Republican Party faces these challenges” Stop it. Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama was spying on him from inside the White House microwave, and the GOP would clap like obedient seals.

Residents of an Atlanta suburb learned that Flock had been accessing cameras in the town—including in a children's gymnastics room—to demonstrate the company’s surveillance technology to police departments around the country. The city renewed the contract anyway. www.404media.co/city-learns-...

I hate cars. I despise them. I don't drive. I also understand that not everyone is privileged enough to live in a city with public transit nor can they ever dream of owning an EV. The gas prices are going to fuck the poor and working class the hardest and maybe let's not be excited about that.

And no, I'm not being hyperbolic. The US is less than 5% of the world's population. 360 million out of 8 billion. And the number 1 EV car company in the world, doesn't even need to sell here to be relevant. They're like, "Enjoy your Cybertrucks!🤣" And this outcome was inevitable from pre 2016.

The technological gap is widening rapidly. While the US government wastes billions funding endless wars for the Zionist regime, China is unveiling revolutionary EV batteries that charge to 100 percent in just ten minutes. The West is completely being left behind. #cdnpoli

Credit where due. This is rad.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Guys... please, stay alive for the books you haven't read, the anime you haven't finished, and the stray cats you haven't petted yet. Stay alive for the smell of rain, your morning coffee, the songs that will become your new favorites, and the versions of yourself you haven't met yet

The people claiming they regret voting for Trump will be right back voting Republican this November and in 2028

The main problem with trying to write a Bond movie now must surely be that even the most OTT villain from the series looks subtle compared to reality.

A path to citizenship not only polls higher than any Trump policy, it’s a moral call to action. Against corruption, exploitation & division. We not only need a path to citizenship for our neighbors who build our community, we need one for the polluters & billionaire data barons who’ve plundered us.

i have really come to the view that partisanship is to be embraced wholesale. partisanship and principle but not purity.

Illinois hopes to take the lead over Indiana in the Chicago Bears stadium battle with a new proposal that would give the NFL team property tax certainty, while also providing a statewide property tax relief sweetener.
