Per my calculation, I have to sell about 1100 shirts to fund our insect mural series. Which sounds nuts, ok? I know. That sounds nuts. However... We already sold 132 so... I dunno, maybe we CAN make good things happen with silliness joy and art? I kinda think we can.

This is very, very interesting but not proof of effect. They looked at a large group of people with diabetes, some taking GLP-1s, some taking DPP-4 inhibitors. The ones who had cancer and were taking GLP-1s, on average, had significantly better outcomes than a matched group on DPP-4 inhibitors.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

We have records of diabetes diagnoses going back 2,500 years. We only developed a reliable treatment (insulin) 100 years ago. Now we might have a cure. What an amazing thing to get to witness.

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

what *you* need to understand is that people in Asia may starve because of a lack of fuel and fertlizer due to Donald Trump's idiotic war

Co-signing this as someone who works in tech, though outside of the Bay. When tech workers had more structural power, companies got pushback internally. That was Trump 1.0, when tech seemed like it really was trying to do good. Now workers have little power. So they can't rein their employers in.

The Amadeus tv show makes the story into something more complicated in a beautiful way. The writing and the performances are also great, and the wig budget is exceptional.

Saw a handful of snoopy birds being just lovely on the beach tonight. Normally black skimmers don't nest on the beach in SoCal; 2 years ago they did and had a REAL bad time. Let's hope these super sweet moments are a sign of successful nestings to come. ❤️ 🪶

"the go the fuck to sleep baby is a they / them going to Bard, feel old yet???"

Former DOJ prosecutor Brendan Ballou quit when Trump started pardoning Jan 6 rioters. Now, he's the lead attorney in a lawsuit filed by Officers Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges to shut down Trump’s rioter payout slush fund. Read the full story here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-resist...

we need higher taxes, but we also need to stop wasting our money. we don’t need 11 aircraft carriers, and 71 submaines, nor do we need 160,000 miles of highspeed interstate highway. taxes could be at 100% across the board, but nothing would change if we keep pissing it all away like we currently are

Authorities in Orange County say they’re unable to control the valves on a tank that contains methyl methacrylate, a chemical used in the manufacture of plexiglass.

I think George Bush doing a global network of secret torture prisons and Trump starving millions of children to death is worse than Barack Obama maintaining the decades-old custom of letting career prosecutors make charging decisions, personally

If you're in the area impacted by this incident in Garden Grove, follow local evacuation orders and guidance from local emergency officials. Get the latest information ➡️ ggcity.org/emergency

"I'm really angry that this scifi writer whose work was stolen to train a probability machine that depletes water tables and raises electricity prices and is accelerating the transfer of wealth and capital toward men who actively hate other humans doesn't like 'AI," what a lack of vision they have"

I think Democrats should come out and say Blanche's "settlement" and the Slush Fund generally is one act in a continuing January 6 conspiracy, extending statutes of limitation for another 3 years.

someone should project a real time slide show of trump’s online posting at don jrs wedding

I listened to the press conference - if you are in the evac zone you need to get out now. They did not sound confident at all that the tank won't explode at any second. www.wral.com/news/ap/e0da...

Furious this occurred to someone before me. (Both seasons of We Are Lady Parts are still on Peacock.) youtu.be/tzAGqmdOBzE?...

maybe this is what makes Mamdani and AOC—who are extremely bright and capable people but not, like, crazy mutant geniuses or anything—so exceptional in our public sphere at the moment: they are serious people who are good at making content and don’t need to totally switch modes to do so

How are you bringing in the weekend? The president of the United States is posting about building a messianic golden defensive force field around the White House and annexing Greenland

Sounds like things are not going well in Orange County, California, where 10,000 people have been told to evacuate because of a toxic chemical leak at the GKN Aerospace facility.

We all talk about how he's trying to rig the election, and there's real concern, but there's also reason to think he doesn't care. If GOP loses, he can still enrich himself. He can pardon himself. He can dare the Senate. Or he can quit & flee. We look for rational behavior when there isn't much.

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

*hunger games cannon* . + * + . * . . GABBARD . + * . + * . * + .

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

I shared the first chapter of what would have been the next Mercenary Librarians book on our discord the other day with the caveat that if we ever do write it now it will need a complete overhaul because they literally destroyed AI as a fun concept.

Do you ever look a people and wonder what kind of ants crawl in their brain? Never a dull moment.

Well this is fun — KNOX NEWS: “Knox County Republican leaders are deeply divided, and the gulf is revealed in a group text message that was initiated by party chair Martin Daniel with eight Republican commissioners and Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs.” www.knoxnews.com/story/news/p...

Kamala Harris won all the groups you would aim at to win, repeat voters, seniors over 65, people who claimed democracy and stopping autocracy was the most important thing, Of the wipeouts internationally in 2024, Kamala Harris was an outlier in terms of performance. It didn't matter.

Literally weeping this basic shit is what governance was always supposed to be and we have become so used to corporate corruption and theft that the most basic concept of "making people do the things they are legally obligated to do" seems revolutionary

my autopsy of 2024 is that when joe biden fixed the fucking bridges he should have said "me and my party fixed the fucking bridges" and not "a smattering of republicans passed this legislation with us and you should give them credit even though most of their party was happy to have your family die"

More people didn't vote in the 2024 election than voted for either candidate. 89M eligible voters sat out 2024—more than voted for Trump. He “won” with just 32% of all eligible voters. This is how democracy gets handed away. Your vote is your power. Use it. 🗳️ #VoteBlue #vote #California

Bari Weiss offered Anderson Cooper a bigger role at CBS News, but he chose to leave 60 Minutes instead. "I'd prefer less rather than more of you." It's a hard message to miss. I'll say it again: She had no detectable experience in broadcast news. Hers was a political hire. From @status.news:

No one is surprised by this, right? After Trump got dogwalked by Xi, it was obvious abandoning Taiwan was next

I don't even think it's the money. Trump just desperately wants asspats from villains he admires bsky.app/profile/jeno...

“Drain the Swamp” turned out to mean “into his pockets.”

Honestly, this made me pause in shock. Never seen anything like this for a bill that should have easily sailed through. Now that I’ve had a little time to reflect on this and collect my thoughts, here’s my official statement: lmaoooooooooooooo

If I was so personally unlikeable I made Senate Republicans do oversight I would join a monastery

Sen. Ossoff: I am running in Georgia against two Trump lackeys who would be voting for this ballroom and this insurrectionist slush fund. They're pro-war, they're pro-tariff, they're pro-cutting healthcare.

In honor of Colbert's final show... "Part of the reason so many of these fools hate Stephen Colbert is that he lives his life as the faithful and humble Christian they constantly claim themselves to be but are too selfish and fearful to actually be." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-inconv...

Kinda defeats the point of having a grand jury if you can just boot everyone who didn’t want to indict, keep everyone who did, and keep trying until you get the result you want.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸
