The problem is when they say "Rogan of the Left", they mean someone who also hates trans people & loves palestinian genocide, but tells people to vote democrat about it

New Duran Duran ft Nile Rodgers song is so damn catchy. A British band doing a song called Free to Love with a lot of gnc and trans people dancing is a welcome statement.

I crave aquarium gravel

The Access of Evil

funniest possible outcome is a maybe it happens today double header

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is. “It’s a lot more complicated than that . . .” “No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth.

Yes, rebuilding USAID from the ground up must be a first priority for the next admin. (I’d certainly love to devote my career to that).

Elon Musk has also disrupted, by which I mean brutally ended, the lives of over a million poor children and adults globally by means of destroying USAID, but who gives a fuck, right?

I spent 6 months working for a Swiss NGO researching the tactics used by Big Oil and how similar they are to Big Tobacco’s tactics, and I can tell you that the ones used by ‘Big AI’ are virtually identical.

Too bad there’s no simple name for his animating belief — a recognizable word with loads of explanatory power — that they could have put in the headline.

I must not fear Fear is the mind-killer Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration I will face my fear I will permit it to pass over me and through me And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path Where the fear has gone there will be nothing Only I will remain.

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

The Suzy Eddie Izzard bit about Pol Pot is relevant here.

Elon simply CHOSE to consign a million Africans to death for really no reason but the pleasure of it and it’s barely in the public consciousness

not a coincidence that men who have healthy relationships with women also have healthier relationships with other men!

Most journals ask if the funder had any influence on study findings/methodology. Typically, this is to understand potential “industry influence”. This type of interference from the government quickly approaches the worst nightmares of the people who are afraid of “corporate capture” in research.

A new “Mamdani” law would deport any US *citizen* considered to be supporting socialism The “Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists” Act — acronym “Mamdani” — specifically targets (not extremists but) the Democratic Socialists of America roy.house.gov

If you’re like, “Wait, everyone is shackled on ICE flights?! Wait, there are 50 ICE flights a day?! Wait, they’re sending people to countries they’ve never been to?!” I am begging you to please read my ICE Air FAQ. 🙏 gillianbrockell.com/what-is-ice-...

“Very real harm to very real people,” as the judge put it in his ruling blocking RFK Jr.’s policy on gender-affirming care—acknowledging that the harm here is not to the rule of law alone, that the result of putting unserious leaders in the federal government is pain, chaos, and avoidable danger.

Donnie Trump showing up for a draft

We did it. We defeated Woke.

How it started ---- How its going

This is the guy who fancies himself smarter than scientists when it comes to evaluating adverse reaction data and clinical trial results about vaccines.

Trump's poll numbers using his Rx math...

they're like seals performing for a circus master

Down 70% (!!!) from the before times. We've plateaued and it's only April. So, so many labs will close this year.

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

This tweet is a decade old and nothing has changed

please continue injecting this shit into my veins after literal decades of “suck it losers” preening from republicans every time they get called out for horribly gerrymandered bullshit the shoe is on the other foot and I simply cannot get enough you want to end this? unfuck your own districts too

Ruth Bader Ginsburg told her children’s school to call her husband, she could not come, she was a literal Justice at the Supreme Court and had oral arguments deciding issues of national importance and nonetheless she would come back from oral argument and they’d have called her and not her husband.

"I'm still punk," I say to myself as I enter yet another all-day meeting

I decided to write about at each & every one of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year. Why? On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical. So here's everything you need to know. NEW from me:

Behold the snake.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

The fact that Trump had appointed a totally unqualified donor to be Secretary of the Navy leading into what turned into the biggest crisis for the US Navy since World War 2 could be covered like the media covered Michael "Brownie" Brown during Hurricane Katrina. They choose not to do this!

Look, if you want to figure out some way to use crime to bring the rich to heel, I have ideas.

Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of: Giving $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP. I'm going to fight them every step of the way.

While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget. NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy... The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%. NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

This is the cure for the male loneliness epidemic

Also, even if that were true, that’s fucking monstrous? Are we not supposed to care when people who have other health problems die?

Give Leverage 10 more seasons, thanks. 😂

Hmm, I wonder why…

I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages! If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is

Trump wants US taxpayers to bail out UAE, a middle-eastern petro-autocracy, because he & his family have a lot of private deals going on in UAE & they need to make their money back.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Not a big deal — it’s not like the U.S. Navy has any large-scale operations going on right now or anything.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
