In Iowa everything is either forbidden or compulsory.

Think Tank Called ‘The Himmler Institute’ Assures Nation This All Legal https://bit.ly/44aNdkq

Imagine watching the Conservatives erode public services for 14 years and then as soon as you get back into power you immediately get distracted by an issue that only exists on Twitter and make it your entire personality. And then wonder why nobody likes you anymore.

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

This is Sadie. She's a service dog who was honored with her own bone diploma at her human's college graduation. Worked very hard in all her classes and is glad her efforts didn't go unnoticed. 14/10 (IG: texastech)

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

Can’t even fathom the crippling insecurities that would lead you to a place whereby drinking from a straw was enough to shatter your entire self-perception of masculinity

I’m skeptical.

OPD Group are a private healthcare company, in case you were wondering. I'm sure that they don't want anything in return for the huge wodges of cash they've been throwing at the bloke who is effectively in charge of the NHS. Why would they?

1. Vietnam 2. Watergate/Nixon resignation 3. Moon landing 4. Collapse of USSR/Eastern Bloc Symbolic of the 1900's is WWII.

Today's ride:

Found this old file, sketching out something I was going to paint during the last Labour leadership election in 2020 but I lost the will to live half way through making it. Looks like I hadn't even heard of Labour Together at that point

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

And THIS is the part in the scholarly critique where I say...CITE YOUR EVIDENCE! WTF.

"An opponent of Israel" is a profoundly dishonest way to describe why people say Marjorie Taylor Greene is an antisemite. She promotes Great Replacement Theory and Soros conspiracies, and compared COVID mask & vaccine mandates to the Holocaust. Oh, and there's also the space lasers and the weather.

RFK Jr. showing his eugenicist beliefs. Here he is today at The City Club in Cleveland: "The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. So what was really killing them? It was almost impossible for COVID to kill a healthy person. It was killing people who were already sick."

Hey you, get out of my tunnel!

Zack Polanski said the police shouldn't kick people in the head, Nigel Farage took a secret 5 million pound bribe. Have a guess who the British Press are hammering

Every day the news bulletin begins "President Trump has said..." Yet we know he'll say something different tomorrow, which is different to what he said yesterday, & that none of these statements is likely to be true. I get the problem for broadcasters, but this model is actively occluding the news

for the avoidance of all doubt: I am pro Jewish rights, safety, and freedom, and I am pro Palestinian rights, safety, and freedom. I am basically pro human rights safety and freedom for everyone. Stop committing genocide, stop committing hate crimes.

Lots of the media going boots in on Zack Polanski and failing to pick up on Reform proposing fucking concentration camps for immigrants yesterday.

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

Natasha Devon is Spot on

One driving behavior that I'll never understand or accept: Drivers inching forward at an intersection or parking lot exit as a pedestrian or bike rider approaches. This is not fucking complicated. Just stop moving until the person has passed you. Get a handle on your impatience you aggressive baby.

The Oregon legislature failed to pass a comprehensive transportation package in 2025, and now TriMet and transit agencies across the state are beginning to face massive cuts to service. It's imperative we restore and expand transit service in the 2027 legislative session. https://loom.ly/RoS4Syk

Q: How did this guy declare bankruptcy so many times? A:

You're paying $8 for gas but thank god those seven trans athletes can no longer play sports and you can say "r*tard" again!

Apparently, journals, universities and publishers cannot do it but the Oscars can

LBJ on signing the Voting Rights Act into law in August 1965: "Today is a triumph for freedom as huge as any victory won on any battlefield."

Preschoolers and pregnant women have been leeching off the hardworking podcasters and supplement salespeople who power our nation for far too long

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

The Israeli military attacked 180 civilians, illegally detained and kidnapped several participants, jammed communications, and smashed an engine, leaving civilians stranded on powerless vessels. These are international crimes. The sustained Global silence from world leaders is indefensible. 2/2

Israel just abducted activists, journalists & humanitarians from the Global Sumud Flotilla — including our contributor Alex Colston. Zeteo demands that Israel immediately release those kidnapped & calls on the UN, the US & governments across Europe to take urgent action & hold Israel accountable.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

That sad subhead sums it up, coddle me and reinforce the entitled place in society I see for myself or I'll get upset.

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

A wholesome story for nerds: On Saturday, I was signing books at a local bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day. The store had a signing-palooza with new authors every hour; toward the end of my hour, a woman came up and asked what my book was about. "Dictionaries," I said, and she lit up. 1/n

What is and isn’t a planet is a scientific question. You can come to different conclusions and that debate is valid. What that question isn’t is an opportunity for antiscience assholes to make everything 1983 again and signal to their dumb cult that nothing has changed since they were 12.

1) There's no reason an administrator at NASA should care how a Solar System body is categorized. 2) NASA isn't the org that makes classification determinations for Solar System objects. 3) If Isaacman wants Pluto reclassified again, he can lobby the International Astronomical Union on his own time.
