Hmmm. So Argentina is more important to the American economy than... New York City?

During Reconstruction, South Carolina congressman Robert Elliot put his own life at risk to enact measures to litigate & suppress Klan terrorism. He delivered a powerful speech in 1875 in support of the Civil Rights Act that banned discrimination in public transit, accommodations, & schools.

FOMO isn’t nearly as bad as FAFO.

“The longest road out is the shortest road home.”

Yup, exactly that—we have a HUGE problem in the US: the MAGA/MAHA men in charge of the health system are dismantling it, while spouting damaging BS, but because they were at Hopkins (Makary) or Stanford (Bhattacharya) or Harvard (Kulldorff) or UCSF (Prasad), apparently the world should believe them😢

It’s a better fit. He should never have been in charge of public education in that state —or any state.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

Good day, sunshine ☀️

The polio immunisation program started in the USA in 1955. Look what happened next.

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

She is “struggling to survive as the rest of the world finds out what she knew a long time ago” So many ignored Cassandras😐

Thread. Constantly amazed but not really by how forward thinking & ahead of the curve women can be while still rarely knowing their names. She nailed it.

Please if you can help. My friends family survived the escape from gaza city, but are now sitting in the open in the south. In order for each family to provide a tent and a bathroom, they need at least 1500 US dollars. Let me know if you have anything spare to give.

Early morning.

Didn’t he call Trump Hitler

“What the Enlightenment did was to develop its own set of myths, striking pictures whose attraction usually centres on the lure of Reduction – the pleasure of claiming that things are much simpler than they seem.” —Mary Midgley The desire to boil everything down to singularity is reductive.

Love that Baltimore has a series in which academics present their research subjects to the general public at bars.

“[Many] of the visions that now dominate our controversies are ones which look as if they were based on science, but are really fed by fantasy.” —Mary Midgley

this is my business model

At the airport & I’m just about the only one here it feels like. International airport even —very quiet.

I am learning so much right now. Unfortunately, it’s cutting into my nap time.

If a man tell you he doesn’t deserve you, ask him for a list of names of men who do. Then also ask for their phone numbers. Then go talk to those men instead.

Expect similar shortly because yes. 🙌

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Wall hanging commissioned by one of my favorite teens... #resistanceart #quiltsky

Could someone with the right background please explain to reporters how this is a very intentional attempt to reverse the traditionally strongly anti-tech and anti-surveillance aspects of Christian millenarianism, because I‘m afraid it may matter.

My rapture outfit

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

I’d love to be able to trust people, but anyone who’s been so obviously lying to everyone’s face repeatedly loses that privilege. Don’t trust you as far as I could throw you, & you’re definitely too big for me to throw without injuring myself.

Seeing as the administration is already saying the target was agents but 1) it was a sniper & 2) the only victims were detainees, think it’s worth pushing back on the idea that ICE agents were the presumed target.

There is a combination of divorced dad and angry incel energy wafting from this administration that is at odds with our current culture. A pendulum swing has started.

Live your truth, as long as it doesn't conflict with my alibi

The limits of logic: if your fundamental premises are wrong, everything else you come up with stands at least an equal chance of being wrong as it does of being right, because it’s chance. If you factor in that your premises are a distraction from what is actually correct, may be worse than chance.

A flight to the Caribbean costs considerably less than a flight to southern Africa. Fuel. Labor. Security. I think we're going to discover that these stunts served as cover for war crimes and other criminal activities.

Sounds like a threat. This guy runs a company that’s got its fingers in defense? That’s fun.

Pump whimsy straight into my veins please

Either the evangelicals were right about the Rapture & we’re all in Hell together (meaning they were wrong) or they were wrong about the Rapture (meaning they were wrong). Either way, they’re wrong. Have a nice day.

Huntington's disease has been successfully treated for the first time, doctors tell BBC

I'm glad the 12 foot skeletons will return from migration soon

This makes total sense when you realize that in halls of power and on platforms of influence, "bias" has nothing to do with facts or equality; it only ever means and can only ever mean "contradicts white supremacist narratives."

ChatGPT is probably the biggest honey pot of willingly-turned over highly confidential information that has ever been created in human history.

Absolutely wild that, in the year of our lord two-thousand and twenty-five, there's a new research article that calls women "females" but calls men "men"

How many things were discovered, created, or invented in order to better society without any consideration for financial gain? It must be a lot. Example: insulin. The financial aspect came later & messed it up, but originally, it was due to be given away. No profit motive. Why?

If we could all learn the concept of “enough”, that would be swell.
