Over at Elon Musk’s X, MAGA is going wild blaming the SPLC for the “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally in 2017 - based on this absurd indictment. Millions of people have an InfoWars mindset - including influential billionaires. MAGA loves to blame the “left” for their own side’s extremism.

Well if you need a laugh it’s ground hog day 🤣🤣😂😂

Theres a reason I call some of these politicians the ‘American Taliban’. This is all about control of women and girls.

This indictment really is absurd. Trump’s DOJ and FBI are accusing the SPLC of sponsoring far-right extremism instead of combating it. Even though the FBI worked with SPLC to combat extremism until last year. The indictment is ridiculous.

😳 A Russian drone that fell into Dnipro during a night attack and did not explode was pulled from the river in Kyiv. Pay attention to the massiveness of the warhead, which is being pulled by two explosives technicians.

Vance has been trafficking in conspiracy slop for years - but this is another low. He accuses Ukrainian intelligence of interfering in both America’s and Hungary’s elections. “This is just what they do,” Vance said. Not it isn’t. This is what the Kremlin says they do.

I just filed a report in my heart monitor app for "rapid heartbeat" so data from my implanted loop recorder should be on its way to my cardiologist. I wanna see if I can get the data and match the timestamps to the EDL timeline haha

I'm sorry, but this woman posting photos of her dog at a religious event in Spain and then having to frantically clarify a few days later at their "supersausage_charlie" Instagram account is something out of a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

Here's the full chute deployment and splashdown of the Integrity capsule containing the Artemis crew (at 1.5x speed to fit within the Bluesky video limit). Welcome home!

Elon Musk didn’t go to the moon. Jeff Bezos didn’t go to the moon. NASA went to the moon.

After a historic mission around the moon, the Artemis II crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.

My wife likes to cite a news story from years ago asking a 100-year-old man what was the secret of his longevity, and his response was "I avoid people who vex me."

Trump wants a world that is nastier, poorer, and more solitary. We all know who that benefits. Canada needs to actively start pursuing EU membership.
