Listen to this and help retire Lindsay Graham 💙💙💙💙

I’d buy that book 🤣

Hohoho hahaha.

This. A thousand times this.

And the idiot will be leading America250 next year. Guess he is fully unaware that 300 years ago……oh, forget it.

Retweet, rinse, repeat.

It’s not pie. Giving someone else a hand doesn’t cost anything. I’m so sick of this.

JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

👏👏👏

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

The stupid-as-a-badge-of-honor brigade is breaking.

I love that Merriam Webster’s word of the year is “slop,” defined as “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” I think it’s meaningful that there is no antonym for this.

🤣🤣🤣

Some networks posted fact checks at the bottom of the screen, but they just couldn’t keep up. The maths, though, were just dumbfounding.

I can’t count the times I’ve seen this happen to women. One benefit? Easy to see it coming next time. Because there will be many next times.

Josh Allen. The ultimate slow burn 🔥 🏈

Another come from behind win! GO BILLS!

As I’m updating lectures for my spring infectious diseases course, I can confirm the loss of a substantial amount of information and data from cdc.gov, resulting in a need to backstop from other sites and peer-reviewed lit. This is devastating and not the fault of dedicated career professionals.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation predicts doctors, hospitals, and other providers will lose $32 Billion in revenue and $7.7 Billion in uncompensated care if subsidies are not extended People who get priced out of their health insurance still get sick Effects will be worst in GOP-leaning states

That is the point. When this happens, fear and chaos are maximized, there is no order. And fascism very easily fills that void.

This would be so much funnier if the rest of world wasn’t burning down.

They are Tribal Nations. JFC, I can’t believe this.

This is being reported as matter of fact, ho hum news, parents rights uber alles. But this anti-science propaganda is extremely alarming and dangerous, and flies in the face of literally hundreds of studies that have shown both safety and efficacy of this vaccine. The result? Needless deaths.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

I do love this 💙💙💙💙

He knows the best chips.

Lane Kiffin is a money-grubbing asshole. But then again, we’ve known this for a long time. If you think he won’t do this to you, LSU, you’re deluding yourself.

I didn't think that was possible but here we are...

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources. Systems of governance are only as good as the people you elect to uphold them.

Depressing late Friday holiday news dump: Northwestern agrees to pay $75 million to the federal government. The faculty vote against doing this, @heidikitrosser.bsky.social points out, was 595-4. That's the kind of margin where going the other way reflects a major failure of university governance.

This👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 “Fears that the U.S. market could be entirely dependent on an AI bubble have increased in recent months…. Those fears only increased after reporting revealed that AI investment now makes up about a third of the value of the entire stock market….”

We built forts out of anything we could find. We dared each other to do crazy stunts on playground equipment. It was the best. The only rule was “be home before dinner.”

The front page of today’s @nydailynews.com.

Idaho bought this one. Lock, stock, and barrel.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The cruelty isn’t “part” of the policy, it IS the policy. So are fear and chaos. This is all designed to suppress dissent and consolidate power.

Prove to us you are not guilty...I dare you...

New work published today from the RasgonLab! The first thesis chapter from @zureishon.bsky.social! Project highlights some of the difficulties we had with sample collection during the early days of COVID journals.plos.org/plosntds/art...

Yep, STFU you obsequious idiot.

From the Florida Phoenix. Yes, really. “…DeSantis also created a state-level DOGE to audit state universities and local govts to search for waste, fraud, and abuse. That torch has been taken up by the CFO, who’s unofficially renamed the task force the Florida Agency for Fiscal Oversight, or FAFO.”

You don’t have to work to deserve to eat. You don’t have to be a citizen to deserve to eat. You don’t have to have a qualifying medical condition to deserve to eat. You deserve to eat because you’re a human being deserving of care, compassion, and dignity.

Of course they do.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

It’s working. DON’T BACK DOWN.

Dear campus bookstores, No one looks good in the thin, all poly shirts and they stink when you sweat. The no-care benefit does not outweigh these things. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A mss review due Fri that opened to “expired link,” I happily assumed they had enough reviews. I review a good bit, so I replied to the editor I’d be out of the office. Multiple auto emails to update my login (which is fine). AI is another reason why publishing and reviewing are just so hard now.

Listen to this.
