Best quote I've heard in a while (despite all the constant self-flagellation of Dem party, by Dems): "...you have a party that has room for Andy Beshears and Momdani. That's a healthy party...And I don't see that in the Republican Party, or the ability to do it." ~ @stuartpstevens.bsky.social

Grotesque wealth inequality isn't just an American phenomenon (though, we can claim exceptionalism for the particularly high scale here).

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Good Morning! On this day, (Sun) Nov 9 in 1913 Hedy Lamarr was born. She may be best known for her roles in the 1940s Oscar-nominated films ‘Algiers’ and ‘Sampson and Delilah.’ But it is her technical mind that is her greatest legacy, including inventing the basis for WiFi. #WomeninSTEM 🧪 #Herstory

Wood Mackenzie confirms new natural gas generation is expensive! $126/MWh in 2030! New solar plus batteries are less than half the cost of new gas! New nuclear ($139/MWh) also is getting close to being cheaper than new gas! Gas too is dirty, biggest CO2 electricity polluter. #energysky

Human fetal tissue research has saved millions of lives and continues to drive biomedical innovation. Restricting it would not alter abortion rates, it would force scientists to discard an irreplaceable research resource for treating devastating diseases.

What the hell are we doing?

It was utterly infuriating to think Senate Help-a-Dictator-Out-Dems are so clueless they don't understand what voters want. It's even worse knowing they do and decided to vote to sell us out anyway.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers. This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.
