Never in recorded history has a four-year-old found his father’s loaded book and accidentally killed his younger sister with it. BUT WE BAN BOOKS NOT GUNS #guns #violence #BookBans #NaziAmeriKKKa #fascism

Bruce Springsteen says "I don't worry about" blowback for taking a political stand. "I've always had a feeling about the position we play culturally, and I’m still deeply committed to that idea of the band. The blowback is just part of it. I'm ready for all that."

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

Two juries delivered verdicts against Big Tech companies this week. But the most consequential outcome of these trials may not be the damages awarded. It may be the information forced into the public record, and what that evidence now demands of lawmakers, writes Mariana Olaizola Rosenblat.

From Laurel Hubbard to sex testing in five years: why the Olympics U-turned on transgender rules

So in summary: all that nonsense talk about young people suddenly turning to Jesus was nonsense and church attendance remains in long-term, near-existential decline. Still, they got nearly a year of utterly baseless headlines out of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's kind of "It is a huge, complete, very strong victory, we plebes just can't see it in its full majesty."

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

“If we look at kids who are immunocompromised, they are relying on the community to protect them…..They rely on community immunity. They rely on having a 95% vaccination coverage shield so they do not catch the measles." Another reason why RFK Jr’s repulsive anti-vaccine crusade is so dangerous 😢

God almighty. They killed the kids as bait.

This is a bs “apology” from Fox. They claim it was “inadvertent” - a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL don’t show the correct footage of Trump. bsky.app/profile/aaro...

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

It's as if they understand and accept the facts and/or expert consensus on a given topic but set policy in the opposite direction to annoy the libs. It's not just ignorance or a lack or knowlege. It's anti-knowlegde.

It has been 14 weeks since Dr Prasad claimed—without sharing any actual evidence—that Covid vaccines “caused” 10 deaths in kids He called it a “profound revelation” but he has STILL not shared any actual data to prove his extraordinary claim Why is he hiding data? Or is this vibes? 14 weeks

A Pew survey found 53% of Americans rate fellow citizens' morality as "bad," the opposite of most of the 24 other countries polled. Canada led positivity, with 92% calling fellow Canadians good.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 "Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time"

We filed an FTC complaint against Casey Means for not consistently disclosing that she has received payments for promoting WeNatal. Sen. Murphy brought this conflict of interest to light. Congress must not confirm this wellness influencer as Surgeon General.

MY comments Bhattacharya appointment to run CDC “He has shown little support for vital cancer vaccines involving mRNA and has not said a word about the health disaster that will follow in the wake of the emascula‑ tion of the EPA,” “This is an appointment carrying many burdens.”
