No excuses please for Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad from their enablers in the medical profession. These men have decided it is good for their careers to tank the vaccine market. What evil, evil little men. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Deftly manipulating the looper pedals with your polka-dot-painted feet.

There is no reason for this to happen. And, it would be tragic. Why are the U.S. and the U.K. trying to destroy higher education, healthcare systems, economies, and major journalistic institutions at the same time? Have the governing classes in both countries been affected by the same disease?

Having said all of this, by far the most batshit bomb idea to ever exist was American. Operation Sundial might the single most insane idea to ever exist

Incredible piece! Journalists, esp. those who cover courts and/or terrorism, read this about covering the "Rocket Docket," the Eastern District of Virginia, aka the fastest federal court in America. Normally, I wouldn't quote this much of a story. But there's so much more! @rachelweiner.bsky.social

A lot of people talk about wanting Dems with the courage and anger to meet this moment, but Rep. @ramirez.house.gov is actually doing it. Read this 🔥 interview I did with her Friday:

RIP & thanks for all the music, Mr. Jerry Kennedy who passed away this week. He's the opening guitar you hear on Orbison's "Pretty Woman," the lead on Wynette's "Stand By Your Man," he's on Blonde on Blonde album, Tom T. Hall's producer. One of the greats, without a doubt. youtu.be/REOgLaIQD5U?...

Holy crap. Subjects who got chemo in the morning reduced risk of disease progressing by a whopping 60%. Super simple intervention, huge result. I hope the finding holds up.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

The board will ignore this sort of Astroturfing when it confirms their own biases. When Republicans are in charge, it's not easy being Green. #energysky

Me: What if the Terminator looks like that because Arnold Schwarzenegger was a famous actor so they made the robot look like him in the future. Wife: Nope because that would imply the movie Terminator also existed and that whole scenario would tear the space-time continuum a new asshole

Spicy stuff #$F

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

This is because Moderna spent $750 Million dollars testing an mRNA flu vaccine and RFK Jr's evil cronies rejected it

Reminder that Alex Taylor’s delusional belief that OpenAI had “murdered” his GPT4o companion precipitated the violent breakdown that ended with his suicide by cop. For some of these people, the consequences of losing this sycophantic model will be severe. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

you still wake up in the dark and hear them, don't you Clarice... the screaming of the blue checks

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way

Donald Trump is waging a stealth war on Social Security. He’s undermining the system’s customer service and making it increasingly difficult for Americans to get our hard-earned benefits.

I just want everyone to fall in love with Biggs the way I have!!!! Remember: it's "unlisted," so ya have to click through to watch!

NEW: Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water. But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course for triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware. @dpcarrington

Top stories this morning include GOP plans for "marriage bootcamps" and the House passage of the SAVE Act which will disenfranchise married women and we are well on our way to Gilead.

Donald Trump's tariffs have destroyed my business. But my woke daughter's streaming history has destroyed my Netflix recommendation algorithm. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Everybody stop what you're doing and look at this cat I'm sitting

NEW: This was the last essay I was supposed to publish at the Washington Post. But they fired me. I'm publishing it anyway-- about my family's connection to a sword the British looted from Ghana in 1874. If youve ever wondered why I love swords, here's why. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

Puerto Rico residents lost about 27 hours of power each year from 2021 to 2024—all without accounting for electricity failures from hurricanes or other major disasters. In comparison, residents in the mainland US experience about two hours of power loss each year.

This is true not just on the general point that he's an idiot but also specifically Starship is never going to work as advertised. The tyranny of the rocket equation doesn't let it pencil out, a launcher heavy enough to be 100% reusable is then too heavy to carry a useful payload.

Listen to Senator Wyden. I wish more of his colleagues would do so.

somebody cornered the singing toilet market and it wasn’t even a utility.

The last mass deportation wave came in the early part of the 20th Century. Over a million US Citizens with Mexican and Latino ancestry were removed. I wonder how many of their descendants are now among those being turned away as "illegals."

Milan mastered happy hour. You order a drink in Milan and they bring you a whole spread of cured meats and cheeses and whatnot with it. Quality stuff, not garbage. You know how much you have to suck to get people who could be sipping a negroni and nibbling good olives to take to the streets instead?

Love the community note that got added on to the Democrats' tweet about their deranged and harmful efforts to dismantle Section 230.

Yeah totally diff than spending millions on a garish wedding while destroying the Post

When I say taxes need to be higher, I am not against the rich. I celebrate human achievement. But I am wholly, to my bones, opposed to the idle rich, & will put them to their own yokes as mercilessly as they would put others.

Looking forward to the big rush of posters later replying to my Super Bowl shitposts to tell me they hate football. Joke's on you: I've been a Giants fan for over twenty years. I hate football too.

"Since its geothermal buildout began in 2008, [Colorado Mesa University] has saved more than $15 million in energy costs, money it has passed on to students through lower tuition and more scholarship funding," reports @mckennapr.bsky.social: insideclimatenews.org/news/0702202... 🔌💡

Among the charming aspects of this note, the passive voice: "Difficult decisions have been taken." This guy should never have had the job, or been allowed to stay. The damage to Bezos's reputation is immense, but can't match the damage Bezos has done to journalism.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

I'm quite enjoying the progression from Taylor Swift sitting in a booth to cheer a boyfriend was a multi level marketing scheme to fool people into liking the NFL to Bad Bunny is the NFL not understanding what is popular
