The DOJ Misled a Judge About How It’s Using Voter Roll Data The acting head of the DOJ’s voting section told a judge last week that the agency had not touched the nonpublic voter roll data it has collected. That was a lie.

But ok if you insist on a Path to Redemption, here: you must join the French Foreign Legion for no less than 25 years. No comedy or contact outside the legion ‘til you’re done! Then you may resume life as an entertainer, but only as a humble but mostly-despised street mime. That’s the Path.

“But there has to be a path to redemption for people like Louis CK..” Let me stop you right there: no there doesn’t. You made that up.

This article mentions a tingling sensation as an early warning of shingles, which is great — that needs to be much more widely known. Six years ago when I reported a terrible one-sided headache and a tingling sensation on my scalp, shingles wasn’t a possibility the triage nurse mentioned.

So we are going to bring forth a world where anyone who wants to be a lone wolf is welcome to walk into the woods without a single damn thing a global community made for him, and perish howling at the moon. The rest of us will live in a society.

The modern conservative panic is fueled by juvenile tantrums, of people clinging to hierarchies until their fingernails are bloody because they're too contemptuous towards undesirables and offal acquiring even a shred of humanity and dignity. But it's inevitable, and the clock will not turn back.

We are going Super Social Justice Blue Hair and Pronouns. We are calling things "gay" and "queer" as compliments and honorifics. We are proudly being buzzkills and harpies and feminine and vegan and giving a sincere fucking shit about the environment and climate and well-being of the community.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I do not recommend my Jewish friends and followers and comrades read this!! You know what they say. Protect your heart. Extreme TW.

Ever single gentile needs to read each and every one of these. A Jewish woman on Instagram made a post about how matzo is made and why we eat it on Passover. Every reply was violent, vile, and hateful. I need you to understand how even the most innocuous part of Jewish existence is reviled.

Girl you asking the wrong question. Do you want to with someone who does this ? If yes? Why? If no? How do we get you the fuck out and THEN why

This was a response to a discussion of antisemitic comments. One of them was people claiming that the mitzvot/rules were just #OCD. I live with OCD and I am a Jew. Being Jewish has actively helped my OCD heal and have less control over me. Why is that? #Judaism has this beautiful concept of (+)

Holy shit. This is like if a foreign country bombed MIT. Sharif University is the top science and engineering institution in Iran, and one of the top in the world. Absolutely unconscionable www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

I was so excited about the Somei Yoshino at Odawara today that I offered to take photos underneath the them for 3 elderly couples who were struggling with their phones, one mom & baby with the best toothless smile ever, and 4 obaachans eating ice cream together on a bench. Oh and these are for you.

Exploratory science isn’t actually competing with helping people in need. It only feels that way when politicians turn everything into a zero-sum game. We can (and should) have both: a strong social safety net and ambitious investments in science and space exploration. 🔭 🧪 ⚛️ 1/2

Anyway I spend a lot of time here talking about the immense harms being done by the US government & about why we should have healthcare & basic income & public transit & education. I wish those were things the govt wanted to do. Also, I'm glad when they support some amazing things in science & space

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

If an Iranian soldier was stuck in the mountains in the US, the UK, Israel, or Germany, & every American or British or Israeli or German boy or man from 16 to 60 walking within 3km of him was killed by drones, would any politician or media call it anything other than murder?
