And they’re still dying, but it’s now disguised under other comorbidities caused by long term covid damage.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

I’m gonna disagree with this one. What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why. We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

oh my fucking god he is 100% confusing cadillac insurance plans with people buying cadillacs "and it's gonna be locked so they can't go out and buy, uh, a cadillac, they can go out and buy health insurance"

Tom Nichols is a Republican. To his fucking bones. A subset of credulous fools believe this guy has changed. He hasn’t. He just hates Trump. And is possibly mad Trump’s rise didn’t include a job for him.

I'm so glad to see Tom Nichols finally getting what he deserves years after repeatedly declaring that it was worth sacrificing the vulnerable to pretend we live in a world without dangerous airborne diseases.

Siri show me the whitest post in history

you think ten years makes you safe? my brain is cursed bitch

America can't be fascist because I'm not doing anything about it

Racist transphobic piece of shit Tom Nichols of the institutionally-transphobic The Atlantic is not and never was your friend.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Marjorie Taylor Goering (Hermann Goering sincerely believed that despite his role in Nazi Germany, he would be asked by Eisenhower to form and lead a new transition government in post-war Germany.)

Would you say a child who dies from measles is living life forward

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Sadly we live in selfish times, so the message to mask primarily for others doesn’t resonate with many people. And actually, the notion that COVID is dangerous only for immunocompromised people is disinformation—everyone’s potentially vulnerable. Wear a mask to protect your long term health.

LOSING IT

Beyond all this, Monica Lewinski has turned the shitstorm that comes with being a public relations punching bag for the world's most powerful man into a platform from which she has supported and uplifted countless other women. Monica Lewinski is a hero, and everyone needs to get off her lawn.

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can. If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

A reminder of the proper way to respond to ICE fascists.

This is how you get rid of the Gestapo.

I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

For the few people who mask out of consideration for others, that’s a commendable act of kindness. But please understand everyone’s vulnerable to the long term harms of COVID—even healthy people. So wearing a mask protects you *and* others. If more people understood this, more might mask.

“The winds diverged here to sweep the land like a whisper, and sometimes like a shatter. To the North the trail led, to the skies that grew with clouds and ominous hush. But beyond that was the reason, the place to lie at journey’s end.” --- "Northwest Winds" #watercolor #dragons #painting

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Mark Epstein asked Jeffrey Epstein in an email to ask Steve Bannon if Vladimir Putin has "the photos of Trump blowing Bubba."

Mark Epstein asked his brother Jeffrey Epstein whether Steve Bannon could confirm if Putin has “the photo of Trump blowing Bubba. Jeffrey Epstein: "I thought I had tsuris,” using the Yiddish term for troubles. #OpDeathEaters

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Trump: Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. You have got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people that knew including JP Morgan Chase.. Reporter: If there is nothing incriminating in the files, why not— Trump: QUIET! QUIET!

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

This has a whole lot of “OJ looking for the real killer” energy

They’re calling her Megyn. R Kelly now.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

This implies that the only real “everyday Americans” are those who aren’t affected by identity issues - white men. Also, all politics are identity politics, fight me

The “Epstein Files” saga shows that Republicans were only ever interested in using sexual assault as a pretext to smear political rivals and deprive LGBT people of their constitutional rights www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

wearing a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces (grocery stores, pharmacies, transit, healthcare) is one of the most basic forms of allyship you can offer disabled people you’re forced share space with.

Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.

trans peeps are the minutemen at bunker hill in the emerging multi-group democracy in the US if they win we all do

Fatphobia goes hand in hand with transphobia and is rampant even in otherwise progressive spaces because it makes people feel a sense of control to police their own and other people's bodies. It is social poison and we will never eliminate transphobia without eliminating anti-fatness.

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.

these are not even the files lol

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.
