It's time for our so called elite to start standing up to this guy.

The Don't Tread on Me flag was a sure sign of this.

From the US Embassy in Caracas - "There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of U.S. citizenship or support for the United States." I don't think we are in charge down there. ve.usembassy.gov/security-ale...

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Lot going on these days so its easy to forget Musk was in the Epstein files too.

Even if Machado hands over the Nobel to Trump, he would just take it then discard Machado off to the side. It's his M.O.

This reminds me of the dudes who would dress up in military gear during deer season - they wanted to act like they were taking on the Viet Cong instead of Bambi.

This seems like an appropriate time to share my latest for @space.com, about mitigating the risks of space debris to aircraft: www.space.com/space-explor...

When I lived in MAGA land, the chief complaint was the (blacks) took most of their tax money for welfare, food stamps, fraud etc. It's dumb and racist, of course, but that is the sentiment they are attempting to rile up here.

1. Yes, this is real footage from Poland's Wrocław Zoo 2. The deer, a male muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi, aka "barking deer"), is hopped up on testosterone because its mate is in heat 3. Muntjac males weigh up to ~40 lbs (18 kg). Maruśka, the rhino, weighs 1.7 tons www.thesun.co.uk/news/3786348...

I'd check on the betting markets for insider action.

Huh, no why this is bad news for Trump headline.

That's the same tie Trump is wearing in a well publicized image with his friend Epstein.

There is nothing more unmanly than using military gear in a civilian setting.

Pretty weak report.

Not the most important thing going on today, but wondering if the committee can rescind the award if this happens.

1. Back in the 80's, I worked bank security and we would often get the wannabe cops who washed out of the screening program. One guy asked when he would get his gun - we explained we had a no gun contract so the next day he decided to bring his own gun in. That was the last I saw of him...

Trump is one of those dudes who thinks he can buy anyone out for the right price.

The Royal Institution's 200th anniversary Christmas lecture is online. This tradition was started by Michael Faraday in 1825. youtu.be/PxG0Ey-x4As?...

Yeah, well, she wasn't in the Epstein files like your overlord.

As expected, Isaacman is an admin stooge: ‘This was not part of some “long-planned facilities consolidation” as Isaacman claims. The Goddard Master Plan, written in 2022, does not call for the library’s closure. Building 21, which houses the library, was scheduled for renovation, not elimination.’

Storm #Goretti is set to bring strong winds along the southern coast of the UK with gusts up to 90 mph (dark red in this animation), and heavy snowfall across parts of central, southern, and western England and Wales.

Donald the dove...

Abolish ICE. Really.

Exactly one Allied combat fatality happened in Greenland during World War II, and he was a Danish soldier on patrol killed in a firefight with a German weather station crew.

The Maduro escapade won't gloss this over.

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

"This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President” - I have questions...

Tires cause up to 90% of road microplastics, with the average tire losing 6- 9 pounds of rubber in a lifetime. Just how bad is the toxicity?

This croc was the size of a school bus. The Mesozoic Era was rough.

Thread...

Um, ok.

Let's not give LAPD any ideas.

There are a lot of media people who, quite dumbly, want access to celebrity rather than report the news.

Thread: grew up in this area but never heard of this incident. A lot of waste from the original Manhattan Project was dumped in the region during the war years..

It's becoming more and more clear they had no plan beyond kidnapping Maduro. We don't have anyone in Venezuela and we don't control their military. Unless a full scale invasion is planned (I hope not), this isn't happening.

1) Venezuela has a government. 2) This is being thrown together at the last minute by people who—amazing as it sounds—are even less intelligent, qualified, and competent than the GWBush-era dunces who tried to make imperialism happen in Iraq & Afghanistan and failed miserably. What could go wrong?

Thread...

Putting the "napping" in kidnapping.

ACTUAL GOOD NEWS EVERYONE: The Paleontological Research Institution and the Museum of the Earth have made it through the crisis! Thanks to everyone who shared or donated-every donation mattered! Please share the good news just as widely!⚒️🧪🦑 Together we did #savePRI www.ithaca.com/news/ithaca/...

Truth as the first casualty in war is even more so in the age of AI.

Well yeah, Trump's word is less than zero so one should be angry but not surprised.

A change of pace - the Bills are closing out their stadium tomorrow and this was the most prominent game I went to there. Bills won 30-13.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

Trump is actually a dullard - a emotionally impoverished dude who only cares about self aggrandizement. He does have one talent though - duping a very dumb and/or compromised press corp.
