The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS. The coup was over in hours because people said no.

I want to make a different point from the one I made this AM: If this was a Kavanaugh stop it's complete BS as it's visually clear that this woman is not from any of the ethnic groups Trump et al want gone. This was straight up done to generate video to establish a competitive system of control.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

The vaccine against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza tested in elephant seal last summer worked. Now the vaccine is being given to the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/s... Now, l;et's find a way to immunize elephant seals. www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe... 🦊🦭

not to get all conservative or anything as an inveterate homosexual stoner myself but the people in charge of American society are decadent, hedonistic demons motivated by their basest urges, their pettiest grievances, and their vilest bigotries

There was a 13 point swing last night in TN-07. If we see a 13 point swing in South Carolina in Nov 2026 Lindsey Graham will be retired and I will be the first ever pediatrician Senator.

214 House Democrats have signed the discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. We only need 4 Republicans to sign. House GOP: Join us NOW before it's too late.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

Attacking pre-school teachers because they don’t think Palestinian kids should be bombed to death? Declaring NYC’s first Muslim mayor “our enemy?” Fomenting hatred, even within the Jewish community? You’re not making anyone safer.🧵

„CSU—US’s largest public uni system—went all-in with a $17mill partnership with OpenAI. . .CSU unveiled its grand technological gesture just as it proposed slashing $375mill from its budget. While admin cut ribbons on AI, they were cutting faculty positions, academic programs, student services.“

Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China. These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.

Heads up losers, immigrants are cool actually.

it is hard to overstate how amazing replacing coal with renewables will be for air quality in inland china in particular. like absolutely transformative, with huge knock-on beneficial health effects for both people and the ecosystem.

The Twitter account for the Turning Point USA chapter at OU seems to have only started posting last week with an anti-trans pressure campaign. And then, oh gosh, what are the odds that they just happened to immediately find someone who claims to have been discriminated against by a trans person?

in a sense, we HAVE TO use AI for the same reason we can't be allowed to transition away from fossil fuels: there are stranded assets that MUST be made profitable and, if they are not, will wreck the economy

i have a soft spot for tule fog. as a child of the central valley, all other fogs seem disappointingly weak and poorly-anchored. i love a fog where you have to stop the car and get out to look at street signs to know where you are, that turns everything familiar into shadows and ghosts.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

My favourite Baldwin video:

President Hernandez was serving 45 years in prison for a plot to distribute 400 tons of cocaine before Trump pardoned him. Meanwhile, Trump is murdering fishermen in small boats for allegedly smuggling far smaller amounts.

Went to make my coffee this morning, but when I filled up the Aeropress, coffee started leaking out everywhere. It took me forever to figure out the problem—was the filter blocked? Had I already filled my mug up and had an ADD moment? No, it was so much dumber than that. LMAO

There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

This is Bear. He is in charge of supervising Thanksgiving dinner preparation. Appointed himself to the role, but takes it very seriously. 14/10 (TT: emileebellant)

LA Union Station is such a beautiful space, like a mission deco Grand Central Station. We need to get back to making public spaces feel more like civic cathedrals again.

Bolsonaro is what happens when six Supreme Court justices aren't co-conspirators.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

ICE melts fast in the South because we bring the heat 🔥

The problem with this article is they asked too many lawyers and not enough historians. As a historian, I'd say the legality of Trump's immunity and pardons depends on how he leaves office. At 40 over 55 approval? He's immune. At 25 over 65? He's probably not immune & self-pardons aren't legal.

If Nvidia had just stuck to soaps and moisturizers they probably wouldn't be mired in all this mess.

Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

Thread. I agree, though I think economic stuff is a larger part than I think Dave Roberts does. Three interlocking issues: first, it’s just insane how much more competitive everything is. This is partly because many people who didn’t have opportunities before now do, which is of course great, but…

This is true. To me, refusing to vaccinate kids against wholly vaccine-preventable diseases is a form of child abuse, exposing kids to harm that ranges from simple assault (having the measles, chickenpox or whatever is no fun in itself) to manslaughter.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)

If you plan on talking about anyone following or not following "illegal orders," read this first from Mark Hertling. He goes into the differences between the oaths taken by enlisted service members and officers, as well as why those differences are important.

Trump had found an issue more unpopular than his handling of inflation - attacking Venezuela: www.cbsnews.com/feature/cbs-...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

D&D elves: lol you die?? You die of old age?? After like 70 years? Lmao. You're like vermin to us. You're like a shitty animal Silmarillion elves: you can "die"?? What the FUCK is that??? Where do you GO? Why can't I come??? *foaming at mouth* why the fuck do you get to go to 'Die' and not me

It's clear now that what we really meant by "Recession" & "Suffering From Inflation" in 2022-24 was "folks liked the large income spike in 2020-21 & wanted more stimulus checks & welfare spending like what came with the ARP, perhaps permanently," but we are clearly not ready for <that> discussion.

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...
