RFK Jr. doesn’t believe in germ theory, so him hopping into a sewage-filled creek reminds me of Immanuel Pfeiffer. He’s the anti-vaxxer who in 1902 went right ahead and took his unvaccinated self to a smallpox ward and lo and behold became very ill with smallpox.

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

@propublica.org recently reported on the cancer drug Revlimid that costs nearly $1k/pill in the US. Today, Trump signed an executive order he claims will lower drug prices. And yet the stock price of the company that makes Revlimid, pharma giant Bristol Myers Squibb, jumped nearly 4% today... 😐

#ICYMI: Records show that the 25-year-old DOGE engineer owned as much as $715K in stock in companies — including Tesla, Apple, Alphabet and Alibaba — on the CFPB’s “Prohibited Holdings” list for staffers to prevent conflicts of interest.

Stupid to do this but can you imagine if Virginia Giuffre turned up dead while a Democrat-appointed FBI director was doing photo ops of political arrests

@jkbjournalist.bsky.social uhm, have you seen this???? www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/a...

a man wealthier than most Americans is no where near qualified to dictate what "normal" Americans say or understand.

the downstream effects of algorithmization are so insidious. the goal truly is to produce to the exact level of “tolerable.” when I finally watched Power of the Dog after a particularly grim run of Marvel-adjacent smeary slop it felt like getting a full breath when I wasn’t even aware I was drowning

I once rescued Bill Maher’s dog from running in the street and he snatched the dog’s collar from my hand and slammed the gate in my face without saying thank you.
