In a poll this morning, 40% of Americans still think Trump is mentally fit to be President. The problem isn’t Trump, his cabinet or the GOP. The problem is Americans.

OK, I'm sold. #TeamPope

For all the good it does, you might just as well stick it up your arse.

Donald Trump needs to go to Assassinations Anonymous if he can’t control his addiction to the Hitman Hoax. Help is available.

OK, so do I have this right? 1. the shooter wasn't anywhere actually close to the WHCA dinner 2. Trump, his cabinet, and the fascist enablers in the press corps present were never in danger 3. security actually worked as it should have 4. everyone making Trump into a martyr preemptively is a turd

The solution isn't a ballroom. Here are some ideas: 1. Stop the MAGA propaganda machine that blurs the line between fact and fiction 2. Stop the right wing extremist violent rhetoric, including from the president 3. Common sense gun laws 4. Break up the corporate media conglomerates 1/

Have you ever noticed how much an electric toothbrush sounds like a learner playing the didgeridoo? It's quite lovely, really.

No doubt Israel giving the orders to gut all these institutions. They are dumbing down, destroying America. Same happening in UK and Australia with Israel controlling 3 levels of governments. Occupation by consent. michaelwest.com.au/groomed-capt...

Words fail. To my knowledge, an all-out purge like this is unprecedented in the 76-year history of the US National Science Board. Unclear what this means for the National Science Foundation and its purview (which includes the National Center for Atmospheric Research), but I'm feeling queasy.

Apart from the actual stats, the most reliable indicator that immigration is plunging (to our obvious economic detriment) is Nigel Farage turning his dishonest attentions to the mythical millions of benefits claimants.

With the booing at Anzac Day services, it's worth remembering it was Gina Rinehart's disinformation group "Advance" that ran a clinical anti-Welcome to Country campaign immediately before last year's dawn services (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/liberals-adv...

My son knows how to sell a proposition to me. 'My girlfriend very much wants you to come to this with us. There'll be happy people dancing and being friendly. You'll hate it. I'll hate it. My visiting friend will hate it. But the food's good.' We can enjoy each other's misery. I'm in.

This is going to be a real exciting mission. Humans are sending a rotorcraft to spend three years flying/landing on Saturn's Moon Titan. Why Titan? - it's the only Moon with a dense atmosphere - rich in organic compounds - stable bodies of liquids on the surface - larger than Mercury!

King Canute was actually pointing out the limits of royal power when he commanded the impossible, but it seems that's another thing King Cretinous doesn't understand.

Apparently, for Republicans, funding ICE to arrest, torture and kill innocent citizens, is more important than funding health care, school meals, childcare, and reverse Republican cuts to SNAP and food assistance. In other words, they don’t fucking care about you and your (children’s) health….

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.”

This is the point at which you strike and shut down the school until they back off. It doesn’t matter that you’re vulnerable, that they can fire you. This is where you have to draw the line or there is no university left.

This is SO well done. substack.com/@ifloz/note/...

ICYMI — Fox’s Maria Bartiromo congratulates Eric Trump for his company landing a $24 million Pentagon contract from a government run by his father. 🤔 Remind us what they said about Hunter Biden again? (From @atrupar.com )

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Trump says he has reduced prices of drugs by as much as 600%” “Trump has a different way of calculating percentages” says RFK Jr. a heroin addict with a brain worm who snorts cocaine off of toilet seats and cuts off raccoon penis. Is mathematics up for interpretation now?

Clever girl.

This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig... The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.

Nice coverage of what’s happening at NSF from @thehill.com! Two points from me: 1. NSF staff are hanging in like a hair in a biscuit and the admin isn’t making it easy. It’s a psyop every day. 2. Jim O’Neill is not the one to run NSF. Full stop. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

There’s a bit more info in this thread about our wilderness and how we dealt with it during my time working at National Parks. It’s not easy as these spaces are huge. It’s beautiful out there, but as I said, it is unforgiving and dangerous if you are not prepared.

Lastly, there is no mobile services (no towers) in national parks and they are BIG. So, you can't use Google Maps. We built an app that allows you to download the map prior to leaving onto your phone, then use the gps blue dot inside the download map: www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/app Hike safely!

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Listen to this story from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, breaking the it down like no other. Trump is extracting money from families’ budgets and pumping it to his fossil fuel donors. Thank you Senator 👏👏👏
