Lawyer: Mr. Combs, it says here tha- Diddy: We got some fine ladies on the jury today. What's up ladies

The rest of the world really needs to start blocking MAGA tourists

This country used to know how to deal with the fucking Kennedys

Behold, a marvel! A living piece of excrement! This turd somehow moves & speaks!

Cambridge police arrested an old man who uses a cane for entering his own house and when Obama said the officer acted stupidly the Washington press corps responded as though he he personally walked into their kitchens, pissed on their chicken, and left a Black power fist shaped turd on their porch

Remember, if a post does not apply to you, you have to reply to let the person who posted it know.

every cuomo endorsement sounds like an angry best man speech where the guy is like "everyone knows andy is a piece of shit who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, but i'll always be by his side"

How can anyone look at or listen to RFK and think he should be in charge of wellness? The man is delusional & defiantly so; the contempt he manifests for the truth is nauseating

again: he wants a Nobel Peace Prize more than anything, it’s something Obama has and he doesn’t as far as he’s concerned, the foreign policy of every other country on earth should be focused on getting him one

The most powerful figure in Congress is insisting that a measure passed by Congress in an effort to reassert Congress's rightful role in the constitutional order is actually unconstitutional and his Congress should have *less* authority and influence. The saddest set of eunuchs in world history.

Did you know "Gil" is the Spanish and Portuguese form of the Late Latin name Aegidius, which means "kid" or "young goat" in Greek? It me. Also, don't rank Cuomo.

Every story quoting Trump would be improved dramatically if it included “given his track record he is probably lying.”

New piece by me! I wrote about how freaky measles is, which many people don't know about. It depletes immune cells, and makes people vulnerable to many other infectious diseases. This raises the risk of complications for years after an infection.

Let’s talk endometriosis, a devastating condition that’s under diagnosed, under treated & poorly recognized Having bad periods? You’ll hear the following: You should get pregnant Period pain is “normal” It’s not that bad Get married & have babies and THEN we may operate 🧵

imagine if this worked. IMAGINE IF THIS WORKED. imagine if the Epstein Caucus is defeated in an absolute tidal wave of voters who want their electeds to CARE and DO THINGS. imagine primarying all the nation’s Schumers and Pelosis with people who understand they work for us and take that seriously

mf tried to declare ceasefire Michael Scott style

On June 24, 1983, the space shuttle Challenger - carrying America’s first woman in space, Sally Ride - coasted to a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. 🚀👩‍🚀🔭🦛

you know what is REALLY dangerous? BOOKS are dangerous! Especially if you read them after bedtime! lights had better stay out!! *leaves flashlight next to bed*

ICE has endorsed Cuomo

James Carville has endorsed Cuomo for Mayor

To wit, I recently commented on the improvement in sunscreen formulations Someone quipped "MAHA" & I went off "Do you think RFK looks like someone who uses sunscreen? His face screams I forgot my leather purse at the beach" They don't even know what healthy IS so how could they promote it? Clowns

I am literally begging people writing about RFK Jr. to stop giving any credence to the idea that "MAHA" is actually about making Americans healthy - it absolutely is not. It is about shaming people with chronic health conditions and substituting snake oil for science.

Turns out Democrats have a purity test after all, but is not about LGBTQ-rights, protecting immigrants, or taxing the rich: they close ranks and try to destroy anyone left-of-Corporate-Elite.

China now has 1 terawatt of solar capacity. For reference, the entire US power grid has 1.3TW of capacity.

The humidity woke me up a like 4am. It’s too much.

Think Tank Called ‘The Himmler Institute’ Assures Nation This All Legal theonion.com/think-t...

My friend and colleague Remco Heesen once told me study of social epistemology of science made him "less trusting of any particular scientific paper but more impressed by science as a whole." I honestly think that's the right lesson to draw. But I think holding both attitudes doesn't come naturally.

#OTD in 1943, Rep. Andrew May bragged to reporters that the Japanese were setting depth charges too shallow because they didn't know how deep U.S. subs could dive. VADM Charles Lockwood said the revelation caused the Japanese to adjust, costing the Navy 10 subs and 800 sailors.

Come on New York, let’s not fuck it up tomorrow. Don’t rank Cuomo.

Court reform must be a serious plank of whatever administration follows this one. SCOTUS's motivating ideology is far afield from anything we would confidently identify as American constitutionalism.

1/ Here are some of the alarming things District Judge Brian Murphy wrote about a case challenging DHS’s plan to whisk migrants to third countries where they could be tortured or killed without notice. The Supreme Court majority just tossed it without even writing an opinion.🧵⤵️

I AM ANNOUNCING MY ENDORSEMENT OF CUOMO

some days all you can do is remember that anything that has ever been accomplished has been done with shitty politicians in office, and sign up for another organizing meeting

Moby Dick HARD ❌ Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. EASY ✅ Fuck you fish

Senate Dems performance at the last Senate Judiciary hearing on judicial nominees was jaw-droppingly inept. We'll see how Wednesday's hearing on Third Circuit nominee Emil Bove goes.

supporting guys like cuomo is a way for wealthy new yorkers who are actually republicans to maintain dem cred without voting against their own interests

Please take heat warnings and advisories seriously. Drink as much water as you can stomach. Stay out of the sun as much as you possibly can. Demand that cooling needs be prioritized on the electrical grid - it matters more than so-called "data centers." www.scientificamerican.com/article/extr...

“…The lab has provided data for more than 800 papers over the last 20 yrs. It receives & identifies bees from uni.s & hobbyists alike. It takes the time to write i.d. manuals & run the sort of tests that Droege quips “will not get you tenure,” such as: Which brand of soap works best in a bee trap?…”

Other mottos Trump invented: -In God we trust -E pluribus unum -A republic, if you can keep it -You had me at hello
