"I regret not fighting in Vietnam" is low-key one of the most psychotic things I've ever heard. Does Kelsey Grammer think he would have single-handedly turned the tide?

hahahahahaha They can't even keep Vanilla fucking Ice. lol

Part of the problem with studying human health in deep prehistory is you might get one or two sets of human remains in a millennia-long span from a particular region, so it's hard to talk authoritatively about stature, markers of childhood stress, and nutrition at a society-wide level.

I refuse to take European concerns about wasteful temperature regulation when you people have electric kettles. You could build a small fire but no you need your tea before tinder and kindling could be fetched

It's good when politicians follow through on popular promises.

We could all use some good news these days Ghana cut malaria deaths by 86%!!! And they followed science and good public health policies healthpolicy-watch.news/how-ghana-sl...

NYC just had a political earthquake, and we’re bringing the momentum to Denver to send Melat Kiros to Congress.

After two years of right wing authoritarianism, they’ve finally found an enemy to fight back against - the left.

This ac thing is peak Europe. The only adaptation is mitigation?

Me this evening:

I'm sorry, but saying "Over thousands of years, that Ideology has not worked once" is so funny. lol

BP's coverage of AI is pretty ass, but this was entertaining. I think the hosts tried to take the pro-AI side (probably content reasons), but Cory was better equipped to refute the points. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJmU...

How fucking unstable do you have to be to need a fucking squeeze toy to get through a committee hearing

As a disabled person, seeing Jeremy Corbyn aggressively pushing for adulting scares me.

The images are terrifying. apnews.com/photo-galler...

I need to log off. I'm posting too much. lol

Means-testing is terrible both as policy and politics.

People are angry because they are getting fucked by corporations. You can only channel effectively the anger if you know the source. Centrists will pretend not to know why people are angry.

Who is in charge, Tish?

French Resistance fighter and historian Marc Bloch, murdered by the Gestapo in 1944, is inducted into Panthéon in Paris.

Remember when those grade school kids begged Dianne Feinstein to do something about climate change and she said condescendingly "we know what we're doing" and then fell over and died

The only thing that Zohran should do is ask them to kneel.

I've seen news outlets imply that the housing bill will keep big corporate investors from buying up single family homes. But that's a vast overstatement. Because the restriction only applies to investors that own 350+ homes. So, the easy workaround is to set up lots of small investment companies.

Hell yeah

A new documentary, narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page, explores a growing body of scientific research documenting the wide range of gender and sexual diversity found in the animal kingdom.

Thanks to solar it absolutely can. The evenings may require batteries, but even without them, cooling until the sun goes down will save a great deal of suffering. (My solar house is cheerfully producing three times as much electricity as the aircon is using).

Conservatives can't operate without billionaire backing and they are genuinely confused and enraged at the notion people care about things for free

It's okay to be a paper member too. Organizations need money, and not everybody needs to be actively involved.

Iron Law of Institutions personified, a guy who would rather maintain power within a fading organization than actually win

Imagine if Tom Steyer had spent $200 million helping do this in California…

This all makes me like Mamdani more. Being this way means he is more likely to succeed.

Last night's results also means that this is the last term of Chuck Schumer. An enormous win for the country.

Alhamdulillah! I can’t imagine experiencing what she had to and still smiling as a first time candidate but respect her grace and resilience and I am very proud of her.

i want centrists to know that we offered you a series of compromises and you rejected each and every one of them and that's why you're here

Professional Democrats: Don't be a third party spoiler, run in primaries [People do that] Professional Democrats: fuck you vile scum, I will kill you, now my extended family and all their friends are unemployed

I think I understated the significance of last night. I haven't followed those races closely, so it didn't register until this morning. Really great news.

George Conway has 835,000 followers on Bluesky but couldn't get to 6,500 votes lmao

Counterpoint: Spend less time on social media and more time in your community.

It's not just New York. In Maryland, at least two state senators & one state representative are losing to challengers to their left.

[redacted] May his wretched soul burn in Hell.

A 32-year-old Democratic socialist who once said "Fuck Kamala Harris" has just beat the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — who was backed by the entire party establishment and millions of dollars. There is not even a doubt. The Democratic Tea Party is here.

A lot of DSA victories tonight. Good news.
