Sounds less than ideal 😵🔥 Antarctica’s west coast missing an area of sea ice the size of France as temperatures peak 20C above average

Honestly one of the more terrifying pieces you can read on the day of SpaceX's IPO. Gift article.

"The streets of black-and-white houses are blocked off by electronic access gates that encircle the city like a medieval moat. I watched a man who made the mistake of wandering inside the minimart get escorted out by armed guards in tactical gear."

SpaceX market cap $2.1tn Microsoft market cap $2.8tn SpaceX revenue ~$20bn Microsoft revenue ~$300bn Incredible.

Science fiction predicted this in all its horrors.

CNN should add an Iran-Peace-Lie counter to their chyron. Bari Weiss could always remove it when she takes over...

Sorry for the threads screenshot i stole, but this is important. I knew a dude who got his master's degree in religious studies in his eighties. People come out start dating or transitioning in their 90s. Life is wild and can be so wonderful, and as long as you're drawing breath, change is possible

A 23-year old influencer who says he is "anti-universal suffrage" and that "women generally do not have what it takes to endure the pressures of a public office" has been hired to help run elections in a Utah county. www.ksl.com/article/5151...

In know this stuff is petty, but frankly his constant lying is desensitizing us all. We must remain outraged.

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

Well this is horrifying

“Elon Musk is colonizing Earth.” Seems bad!

"I watched a man who made the mistake of wandering inside the minimart get escorted out by armed guards in tactical gear." 🧵

Donald Trump humiliated as CNN airs montage of 39 times he's announced deals with Iran Anderson Cooper issued a devastating blow to Donald Trump as he hosted CNN after the president canceled plans to strike Iran and once again claimed a peace deal is near

Elon musk becoming a trillionaire demands higher taxes on the wealthy. All of his wealth is because the benefits he gets being based in the USA. Time he and others pay for that.

Definitely not Star Trek. It is anti-human.

Sorry for the poor sound quality, but stay for the ad.

Only took him ten years to figure it out bsky.app/profile/sahi...

that’s right

It's just open fascism. Zero figleaves left.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

I love how CNN now has a significant paywall on most of its web stories. Really? Who is paying for CNN online written stories?

“Court packing is never ever something you should do” is not a tenable position. It’s trivial to imagine a court so extremely anti-constitutional (and yet 34 senators won’t convict) where court packing would be the necessary lesser evil. The only question is if the Roberts Court is that bad. (it is)

This is an admirably pungent statement of one of my core beliefs. People whose guiding principle is that “things have to get worse before they can get better” are, whether they admit it or not, on Team Worse.

This has been my quest for the past 1.5 years. If roles were reversed red states would have found a way for their residents to stop paying federal income taxes and the republicans on the Supreme Court would have okayed it. Blue states and Dems need to be more inventive.

“Congress's top bathroom sheriff Nancy Mace is on the ballot, and while not all of the votes have been counted yet, she is in a respectful fifth place,” Sarah McBride just said. “I don't like punching down and I believe in the politics of grace. So all I will say is happy Pride, Nancy.”

We are talking about Simone Biles here. Just a shocking headline choice. 11 Olympic medals, 7 of them Gold, and the greatest gymnast of all time... "NFL Wife" 😡

"NFL Wife"???

Nobody even remembers who she’s married to. That was a goddamn conscious choice and this world is pissing me off.

Some dude's wife or whatever:

"NFL Wife"???

Just left a rally demanding the House reject funding for ICE/CBP

because of woke you cant even denigrate an entire nationality wholesale anymore without being called a racist

The first step is to remove the people most likely to shape the ideas :.. which is why I am always going to point out The FIRST thing Weiss did was get rid of Black and Brown reporters which journalism itself has been doing for years And nobody said anything and still doesn’t

Pop those champagne corks. Last night Trump made his 3400th claim that the US and Iran were close to a deal.

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

I worked for DOJ for 25 years and Trump has turned it into a trash bin of abuse and corruption in a matter of a year. It's heartbreaking. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/u...

I find it curious that Mike Lee is now taking the position that the government should not be weighing in on matters of religious doctrine, despite joining an amicus brief in the Fifth Circuit that urged the court to uphold the Ten Commandments in public schools, now that he's on the receiving end.

Ken Paxton's impeachment defense lawyer just endorsed James Talarico. Dan Cogdell says his former client "has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas."
