BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

As an Eagle Scout, let me say this is an opportunity for Scouting America to stop having a partnership with the U.S. Military.

Amazing coda here.

scaling to make a sentient sun A SENTIENT FUCKING SUN excuse me but who exactly is willing to believe this crap and who is their dealer because they're on the really good drugs

The successful nonviolence and civil rights movements of the past, as I’ve gathered from reading about them, ALSO featured a shit ton of incessant petty drama and in-fighting. But crucially, they didn’t have social media - so this was kept far more private.

As a historian of those movements, let me just say: SO FUCKING MUCH.

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

who the hell called them "podcast hosts with whom I've developed an unhealthy parasocial relationship" and not . . . earbuds.

I’m so angry.

Twitter is too much pedophilia...for the French.

"Yeah, hey boss, I'm looking at the center right now... Yeah, the one under the gyre. Mhm. Still widening. Anyway— yeah, the center. It's not holding."

I regret to report that an CBP officer is pepper spraying the gyre and an ICE agent just shot the falconer

The thing is you're detaining and arresting US citizens from time to time so yes you should need warrants for that

after two or three weeks of a community showing incredible cohesion and solidarity, we will get at least three months of Think Pieces and Op-Eds telling us it doesn’t remove Our Nation’s Sins or even show us that We’re Doing The Work.

is there anybody in a position of U.S. tech leadership with something other than a giant sucking sound where ethics and leadership should be?

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

holy shit

I’m sure Bitcoin’s drop has nothing to do with Epstein’s ties to major crypto industry players. Pure coincidence.

Hearing Beck’s sublime cover of “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” for the first time in maybe 20 years made everything better - also madly in love with the Friko and Asher White; plus @totalvibration.bsky.social shares some fab discoveries, including the one song that sets the stage for 2026. ❤️

I'm reading an interview with Eric Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, and—as a person with ADHD—this part really hit me pretty hard. This has been a lifelong struggle for me, as well.

I’ve only read the book and I can tell you that Black people being interesting and having something to do was all Orlando’s influence- not in the source material

Just remembered the funniest screenshot I have saved

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

goooood morning it is chilly but dry and sunny (after a foggy start) and this little lady collected snuggles from some kindly transit workers AND her kid friends on the way to school, so you betcha: Lucy Loved That Walk

Good morning Frankie

how i feel about going to work today

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

this looks like the headshot you would use if you were trying to do this as an Onion bit

I'm not saying CBS News is now a pedophile protection racket, just that it wouldn't be doing much differently if it weren't

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

Impeachment is the only Constitutional check Congress has against a lawless president and talking about it would be a good start to reasserting Congressional power in the future. Assuming of course Congress wants to do that

the president is psychotic. in reality, his numbers are near all-time lows.

It really bums me out that Klobuchar, who was instrumental in normalizing Trump as just another political adversary, is almost certainly going to be the next governor of Minnesota, a state currently paying a severe price for that normalization of fascism.

Stephen Miller: [30 days from now] Look, the president shits himself in most meetings. The president shits where he wants. You people in the media, you're so obsessed with who shit whose pants, and by the time you're done figuring it out, we'll be shitting in a thousand different pairs of pants.

preoccupied with whether or not/didn't stop to think etc

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

These two people objectively look hot in their old age and they still did this to them

Magazine cartoons are good.

Just remembered this @thickyrubio.bsky.social banger

On top of all the utterly horrifying shit, rich people appear to be just barely literate, which explains a few things

Mamdani is proving what we all suspected. The Democrats didn’t want him to win because they knew he’d succeed and show how it’s not just possible to fix things- it’s actually pretty fucking easy.

Palantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.

Rat coin purse!
