I have met a couple of deniers/skeptics but the one question they don’t have an answer for is what motivation the USSR, China and subsequent hostile or unfriendly nations would have for upholding the lie the United States won the space race. Not sure why it sticks more than the science stuff…

This is fucking amazing

getting ready for the best eve

If this guy loses I think we're done with everything and I don't mean that in a hyperbolic sense at all. Like if this guy can't get elected, our hearts are too fucking dark to be happy and hope for a brighter future because it'll mean we chose Cuomo

Watching the HGTV show Scariest House in America (hosted by Retta) and learned about something called a disappointment room.

The "don't talk about social issues" strategy only works if you *admit that was your strategy after the fact*. We're in this doom loop where Democrats try something, gaslight themselves into believing they didn't try it, then decide to try it again.

She’s clever. Wore those pants because she knew it would remind him of his favorite couch.

It’s fascinating especially after the “study” that was released that “not in touch 2with voters” Isn’t even in tennpercent

We’ve been hearing a lot from Vance lately, almost like they are trying to get the death cult to accept him cause Bone Sandals is circling MarLago

Usha put up with some stuff because the way …

call me crazy but i think inviting someone under federal indictment to an interview, peppering them with questions about the indictment that you know they can’t answer until you cause them to leave, then calling it a “Katie Porter moment” is not good journalism

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered. This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

The only time I raised my voice in five seasons of LEVERAGE was telling the TNT exec that if he sent cease and desist orders to the makers of fan videos on YouTube that I would quit the show and take an ad out in the Hollywood Reporter explaining why.

Mind you WaPo wouldn’t release its actual diversity numbers

USEFUL BACK IN THE DAY KNOWLEDGE *packs a weed pipe* So back in the day in America when there was no ACA and the 'safety net' was shit, my uninsured friends when they HAD to be seen medically for bad shit would not take IDs to the hospital and would give a fake name and claim to be indigent.

UPDATE: A TikTok account dedicated to posting racist videos featuring an AI-generated Black woman named “Lakisha” was part of a trend pushing racist disinformation about SNAP benefits TikTok didn't comment, but the account was removed after our report www.wired.com/story/disinf...

Let’s talk about race…No not that one. But also that one Part 1:

This week the police in Rio executed what is being called the most deadly massacre in Rio’s history. Black organizations are demanding accountability and the UN just called for an investigation. But it will take a lot to get real processes of accountability going.

FWIW they don't even act like that because they keep pissing off the military... I can't imagine the military brass is happy to lose those homes.

Tried to reorder tea from a French company that we really like, and not only will they no longer ship to the U.S., if you try to enter a U.S. address, it returns an "invalid country" error message. Which ... yeah.

Have to engage in "legitimate political discourse," every time they open their damn mouths.

My favorite thing as a writer is when I start ranting about something on Bluesky, get it all out of my system, and then turn it into a real piece of writing. On that note: hey, it’s me, heckling centrist Dems in the New Republic! newrepublic.com/article/2023...

Genuinely begging you to re-up your MMR & get your kids vaccinated if you can. Between this & Kennedy talking about breaking it up into separate vaccines thus providing opportunities for missed inoculations &, thus, increased infections, public health policy is not looking great, for the foreseeable

Private equity destroys 200-year-old book distribution company that libraries around the country rely on and now libraries are having trouble getting new books: www.404media.co/libraries-sc...

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

"Remember my children, cut taxes for the wealthiest, and when the poor come to you to eat, thou shall say 'fuck them kids'"

You also can't forgive harms not done unto you.

"People come up to me, and say, 'You know, thank you for deciding not to run. I really appreciate it.' They like me. They appreciate the step that I'm taking. We have talented, young, progressive leaders that are more than ready. I love to think about making space for them," says @smith.senate.gov.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Ok, but why do 1st generation immigrants continue to debase themselves by dating these kinda *taps the palm of his hand* people?

AN INDICTMENT IS MERELY AN ALLEGATION. BUT. "... Amarys signed a one-page agreement in order to confirm his covert relationship with a Russian intelligence service."

Also, #3DPrinting crowd! Thanks to @moryan.bsky.social I have a link where you can sign up to send whistles to Chicago. They're trying to get up to 5,000 a week, so plenty are needed. There are two links to STLs on here (including the micro whistles I've been doing!) and a spreadsheet sign-up!

Mexico Versus Nazis is a theme that’s really resonating with me of late

one of my favorite things is when the subject of a piece threatens a journalist and the journalist responds by casually printing everything very matter of factly

cool cool cool cool cool

I had this conversation with my dad a couple of months ago. He said we need to get back to our founding principles, back to the Constitution. I said, “If the Constitution has to have amendments for women and Black people to have rights, then maybe we need a better founding document.”

You may not be a betting man , but you’re a smart one who can read context clues

Also would add that they come across as DEEPLY boring and uninteresting in addition to being reactionaries. Who wants to be with a boring AND reactionary person????

After the “assassination attempt,” Trump was at the hospital wondering how it would look on TV. “How’s it playing,” he asked. Sir, you got a dollop of ketchup on your ear. Get back in bed.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

I get so annoyed watching men like Graham Platner and Bernie Sanders whine about the "Dem establishment holding them back" every time they're confronted with consequences of their own actions. The perpetual victimhood of white men. It's never their fault. Always...ALWAYS someone else's

REMINDER The Govt of the US is in 'shutdown' because they don't want to release the Epstein files. Which are a hoax and Trump didn't do anything wrong and besides he didn't even really know Jeff.
