Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent. She didn't want to deploy to D.C. "She hated it. She cried about it." But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it. May she rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

CDC website altered at Robert F. Kennedy's behest to reflect his belief that "all events depicted in the film Ghostbusters really happened."

Let's not confuse the people giving the stupid orders with the people who have to deal with following them, who are often good and decent people.

Where’s the assistant loudly whispering into Miller’s ears that he’s talking about his own ancestors

Tobacco will kill more than 480,000 people in the US this year according to the CDC. That’s SIX times more than ALL drug overdose deaths. Does that mean Trump is going to drone strike the homes of tobacco executives in the US? Can other countries target them? Why not?🤔

at thanksgiving, being urged to explain what felching is

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Sony throwing this movie away for pennies is the biggest fumble in entertainment history since Fox signed away the merch rights to Lucas for Star Wars

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal. Undocumented youth should consider consulting a lawyer to find out what their record is -- especially those whose parents had prior interactions with immigration.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

Happy Thanksgiving

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Doing your best to literally destroy life-sustaining ecosystems while also sanctioning the torture of people is hard on the spirit, wow who knew

"Vought is going to keep refusing to fund [the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau] in order to illegally dismantle the agency ... [I]t's time for Congress to impeach and remove Russell Vought from power."

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

I am grateful to @dwallacewells.bsky.social who speaks plainly & unapologetically about where we are now. The apologists for the Covid contrarians are to blame as well. The lie at the heart of what they were selling was always easy to see to those who wanted to look. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/o...

I feel seen by this, for a definition of “seen” that involves an ant being burned alive with a magnifying glass

I’ve talked before about how AI represents the inevitable outcome of techbros’ lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to and interacting with other human beings but I think the logical outcome of having that skill issue humored is becoming unable to relate to yourself, either

Picard engineering tip: Use the metric system.

I always say that it's better to hold off on blaming a particular political side for an act of violence. Here's why I'm blaming today's national guard shooting on the woke left.

Do you work in federal prisons? Plz tellll me things. Here's how: www.propublica.org/getinvolved/...

I know if my family member was shot and killed because you wanted to drag the military on a civil rights violation tour to cities with black mayors you felt were too uppity, you would see me in court.

😡😡

When the NEA asked us to promise not to publish trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid authors, we told them to kick rocks. (Actually, formally, with a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, we told them to kick rocks.) So the NEA rescinded our funding.

How much was USAID and CPB again?

It’s so weird. Like that they continue to be against some of the most settled science in the history of science. These are things you can prove yourself (aside from HIV). One reason our response to COVID was so good was we’ve learned so much about viruses fighting HIV since it’s a tough bastard.

Your depression. Monetize it. $4. → square.link/u/Qhj4ckHw

RFK Jr. is neither a joke nor a well-intentioned proponent of public health with a few kooky beliefs. He's a menace, evil even by the standards of Trump's inner circle, and the failure of the political press to convey this is maddening

New Deal programs are popular. We should run on new new deal programs. The Great Society 2 (or whatever we can workshop it)

They're stealing my bit

You think using AI uncritically won't be killing humans? Think again. soranews24.com/2025/11/26/w...

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

So the thing is, now is really a return to form for search. Before Google showed up, yahoo, lycos, altavista, all were starting to look like what Google does now.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool. The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code. They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

This further shows how RFK jr.’s conspiracy theories turned into policy is killing Americans.

Just because you weren’t alive the last time these diseases killed hundreds of thousands of children doesn’t mean they won’t kill hundreds of thousands more. Please, if you love your children, get them vaccinated.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.

Every economy op-ed writer: No see, you can't buy a house because you buy too many avocado toasts but you're hurting the economy by not buying a new $1,000 phone each year. I am very smart. Also don't ask me about my emails with Epstein.

I wish Congress would throw more fits like this...good thing I'm running. Vote June 2nd, 2026.

So far this year at #NIH, I had to - cancel a visiting speaker I was hosting - cancel a distinguished lecture I was giving at a midwest university - cancel another seminar visit to talk about our work - cancel my trip to the Society for Neuroscience meeting - now cancel my trip to NeurIPS 1/

Well that’s not great.

Zohran Mamdani just keeps making winning moves. Alondra on your technology committee is pretty much as good as it gets. Hot Damn.

Hi, James Carville here, I am TERRIFIED of the RABID WILD DOGS Chuck Schumer has sicced on me in this HAUNTED FOREST I've been banished to. To keep my fight for survival going, would you donate $10 to ActBlue right now?

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
