Vought is one of the top three or four enemies of the Constitution & American democracy. His removal from power is one of the highest priorities for any project of checking the dictatorship's lawless wielding of the vast powers of the state

Evil shit.

"[Elon probably] knew it would be horrifying to others. But he decided that it was a better approach to shut it down, fire everybody, shut them out, and then go rebuild." A test of whether the U.S. can recover its moral health after all this is whether we hold Elon Musk, genocidaire, accountable.

Read this thread. It's exactly right. But also note on the internet related stories—the banning of TikTok and the attack on Sec 230—Democrats happily helped MAGA accomplish their goals and people have cheered it on. Democrats trying to destroy 230 are not helping you. They're helping Trump.

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/a-breakthr...

Tracks. Sadly.

I like that I saw this like two posts after I saw Marco Rubio having a fit about a DEI font. Keep it up, weirdos.

Gotta admit "the font is DEI" is a stage of absurdity I could not have predicted

It feels like this is not really reading the room.

Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

I don't know why these features exist let alone are enabled by default but here is the settings menu you can use to stop your iPhone from trying to inexplicably text someone the last photo you took every time you set it down on a GD flat surface. Raise your hand if you've ever used this on purpose.

The thing about DOGE is it accomplished neither its ostensible nor actual goals but did manage to cause a couple of holocausts worth of deaths internationally. And the media finds none of those three things particularly notable.

It's also breathtaking in actual death. Don't forget the death. I will never give up hoping that man is somehow held to account. hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Talks are entering crunch time at COP30 with only a few more days left. From climate adaptation to fossil fuels, here's where negotiations stand: bloom.bg/4pn1zqR

A thing I was taught over and over and over in journalism school was that following the money would almost always lead to the truth. Once we started following the politics and not the money, the truth reliably stayed hidden. I do not suggest this was an accident.

Possibly the most genius thing ever written.

Is there a more reprehensible form of spam than a calendar invitation? We don't have time or patience for that kind of BS right now. Knock it the f**k off, you bastards.

Bless him. He has NEVER wavered.

No Rapist Left Behind

You know it's funny because, and I do not say this to brag, I wrote an almost identical piece in 2019 when I had just started covering climate tech. And I have always felt that adaptation was a key component and a missing piece. But I have to be honest. I now fear that it might signal resignation.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Good that Canada joins coalition to fight against climate disinformation (so maybe don't weaken greenwashing law?) www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging. They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”. They raped them. Sex implies consent. The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

You know, there actually was a version of messaging from the Democrats that would have worked (on me at least). Like if they all came out and said, basically, holy crap America, we did not realize how far these people were willing to go, they are truly depraved. We will not trade lives for lives.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

I know nothing about nothing. But you are trying to tell me that 8 Democratic Senators who are conveniently politically safe from re-election or primary just happened to cut an OUTSIDE deal with the GOP here? All by their dammies? Schumer all SHOCKED? Girl, please. The caucus did this.

when interviewed why don't the democrats say it this way. "we'll vote to fund the government when the repubs turn health care back on, and btw also food for US citizens." make it really clear, repetitively, that the repubs could end this by doing the right thing, being human, not being terrorists.

@nflredzone.bsky.social shoved him down my throat and I turned that shit off immediate and am considering canceling. Get bent, NFL.

called both Washington Senators.

Sports in the time of end-stage capitalism has me so glad I like books almost as much. And let's be crystal clear. We KNOW Disney is withholding the NFL from YouTube TV to try to reap subscribers, probably to make up the ones they lost over Kimmel. Nothanks. www.reddit.com/r/cordcutter...

I think we could go ahead and say this a little more plainly. To starve Americans, perhaps.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Friday outlined plans to tax commercial flights and private jets, an initiative meant to combat planet-warming pollution from aviation that could hike the cost of business travel.

Over at @cbsnews.com , the climate coverage team was just laid off. @heatmap.news does a great job drawing the obvious conclusion. open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...

I literally cannot believe I just updated iOS again for the one millionth time and they are about to serve me iOS 162 but I still can't tap a link without it taking me to the goddamn App Store. I am TRYING to GET. THINGS. DONE.

The headlines a day after the worlds first trillion dollar CEO pay package

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Get your colleagues and friends off it, folks.

Taking the offramp from Fury Road

When you love your rage-bait false premise so much you promote it twice. 🖕

Dare to imagine a different way.

Oh. My. God. Honestly, I'm like astounded at how obviously true this is, that's exactly it. Wow.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.
