Earnestly: amongst all the other heinous, unconscionable, crimes against humanity they are committing on a daily basis why did they let that stop them?

PREORDER. Featuring 8 lovingly-crafted chapters by yours truly.

Ok can I be honest with you guys? Is this a safe space? This is kind of what needs to be said and I've never agreed or sympathized with Trump more?

Local moron dismayed to see lifelong anti-vaxxer he put in charge of nation's health is trying to ban vaccines despite pinky promising he wouldn't for some reason.

Since Cassidy is saying this publicly, public health advocates can ramp up the pressure. I will call my PA senators & tell them they should support Cassidy in saying the panel must be fully staffed by people with direct relevant expertise in vaccines, epidemiology and immunology “as required by law”

This is how people behave when they know there is a 0% chance they will ever face any consequences for their choices or actions.

i almost can’t read this it makes me so angry. delusional grifters with purity fetishes and eugenic worldviews have brought pain, suffering and death to children www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

I don't know how you even balance the risks. Say you even knew the exact % chance Hali had to snap his Achilles - which you absolutely do not. Let's set it at 30%. [Value of playing Hali in literally Game 7 of the Finals] < or > 0.3*[Missing next Season + of NBA Action] ??? Who knows!?

Grimly, this number will be AT LEAST 30-35% by next week.

Look I think this is a great sign that Trump is moderating. The 2020s John McCain.

Once again, how does this fit into the MAHA agenda? RFK Jr’s whole shtick is Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They need only healthier food and fewer environmental toxins. Meanwhile the administration is reducing nutritional assistance and increasing environmental toxins.

when we scream and shout about doing things, this is what we mean. got popped and still went back again? hell yeah brother

Is this a place where toxic masculinity...actually helps? The number of Americans assigned make at birth who would willingly identify themselves with anything "feminine" much mess as a woman when they are not truly trans is...what, exactly? There's a HUGE taboo against it!

The through-line of every policy, electoral, and organizational choice made by the leaders of the Democratic Party is that no one else gets to be leaders of the Democratic Party

Cassidy opened the door and let RFK Jr. in. Now, he’s listlessly watching as RFK goes wild on health. Quite a precipitous fall for the good doctor. Sadly, we have not hit rock bottom yet in this new anti-vaxx era. Cassidy’s reputation still has further to fall, too. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Some Qs basic numeracy demand: -500% over what time frame? -Increase in cumulative assaults of in rate of assaults? -500% from what baseline number? -How much has # enforcement operations risen during that time? -How is "assault" defined? ZERO reason for anyone to parrot this number at face value.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Dunkin Kruger is when you think you can carry all those drinks to the car by yourself and you end up covered in coffee and raspberry.

Masked man alleging to be an agent of the state but refusing to show any badge or other form of identification. To members of Congress. It's just the Stasi with sport peppers and a poppyseed bun.

This is how you Make America Healthy Again under a Kennedy. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This is the vulnerability that lots of pseudo-intellectuals take advantage of too! Just speaking fluently can convince some people that what you're saying must also be smart...

Fascist nerds surprised when anyone pushes back slightly against them. Probably worth noting (by which I mean throwing on the pile of evidence that this is the case)!

Real ego boost to be at the gym and successfully debugging student code via text between sets. Universities get you someone who can do both.

Might work this into my scholarship statement for my tenure case this year?

the last castle (2001) is to me the absolute pinnacle of dad movies. robert redford as the noble, wrongly imprisoned army dad. james gandolfini fills the unbearable boss role in the form of a vainglorious and cruel warden. if you want a spectacular Regular Movie this is the one for you

This is exactly what it looked like at notably hated President Jimmy Carter's funeral. Except, y'know, full of people.
