For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Schools already facing a time of extraordinary strain and upheaval will soon face another challenge, when thousands of dyslexic students across Texas will be required to move onto special education plans.

AAAAaaaaaahhhhhHHHHHHHHHH Texas courts blocking jury trials for 30,000 victims of 2021 winter storm: Legal experts predict that none of those cases will ever be heard by a jury of Texas citizens. www.dallasnews.com/business/202...

DOGE: Diabolical Oligarchs Gaslighting Everyone

I didn’t know it came in medical grade!

So whatever happened to all those drones in the sky they were going on & on about? Seems like everyone just stopped talking about them all at once. Did the aliens take Christmas off, or what??

NEW: The Texas Tribune has for the first time identified where the state has built its border wall. After three years and $3.1 billion, Texas has erected 50 miles of wall. It’s been built in dozens of fragmented sections, scattered across six counties. apps.texastribune.org/features/202...

This is consistent with what I've been saying about Trump and Musk: they don't accept our system of government, they're malignant narcissists, and they aren't going to accept checks on their power. Ever. Rather, their countless cowardly enablers in the GOP will try to give them more and more power.

Elon Musk is arguably the most powerful person in business, the most powerful man in media and, at least at this moment, the most powerful man in politics. This much power, across this many pillars of society, is without precedent.

And yet he does. Which tells you everything you need to know about the state of the American republic or the remaining shards thereof.

The Madison, Wisconsin school shooter was a radfem Columbine-worshipper who followed "radfem Hitler". Garrison Davis dug into her online presence and wrote this to explain what the hell all that means and why the right wants us to think she was transgender. shatterzone.substack.com/p/the-madiso...

The longer the drone scare goes on, the more ridiculous it gets.

Previously: Top state officials have already made promises that, under Trump, money can be shifted to education. But that didn’t happen last time.

Love letter from the 80s

Like Andrew Wakefield and the bogus vaccine/autism connection before it, one hastily written bogus paper about HCQ and COVID did incalculable damage to medicine and health. What took days to publish will likely never be entirely undone. It's a scandal.

Why am I still getting political texts? The election was over a month ago. Please make it stop...

That's surely to make people who already claimed they were boycotting the NBA to claim they are boycotting again.

Laughable.

A very important reminder for all of us.

You might think of punch cards as archaic and antiquidated. But for the first programmers of the Whirlwind I, that was the upgrade.

Perfection.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV. Big news. abcnews.go.com/Health/5th-p...

Always surprised how many folk on social media are unaware that highly visible women online regularly get threatened w/ rape and other violence. Happens to every woman w/ a substantial following I know, has for a decade regardless of platform. And no, authorities don’t care and that’s no solution.

Pete Hegseth says he no longer believes what he wrote in his book that gays in the military have weakened military cohesion and effectiveness. When did Hegseth write that? Checks notes: 2024. Yes this year. Hegseth has ZERO credibility. Plus he's a rapist and anti-Muslim bigot!

I guess it won't be Planet of the Apes then.

How does this keep happening? 🏈 #NFL

The conservative America First Legal took in $80K from fundraiser in a Texas Hill Country county to help fight its federal book ban case. But the county hasn’t seen a dime, reports @baylisswagner.bsky.social: www.statesman.com/story/news/p...

I once saw a man at a midnight premier with a jumbo size plastic jar of cheese puffs.

This is not great

I own a Brave book! Kirk Cameron's manager gave me a copy of his when I covered this event lol.

Was uncertain about posting this photo. Actually took very few but still felt compelled to visit out of profound respect. Everything shrouded in fog seemed somehow fitting. The worst images were captured forever in my mind. @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Heavy online marketing spending by Temu and Shein is making it more costly for other retailers and brands to reach shoppers on Black Friday, marketing and industry experts say, with both platforms bidding heavily on search keywords used by competitors reut.rs/3AY2NW4

Cooking food is one of the most significant developments in human evolution. I don't drink milk, but the idea that people are searching out the kind with poop bacteria in it will never not be wild. Eat a yogurt for god's sake. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I hope she's not talking about her in-laws...

“Governments shouldn’t pick winners and losers” has been a Republican talking point for decades. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.

The thing about Dude Wipes is that someone created a product, a corp. hired pros to develop the product, held meetings on marketing them, and now there are ppl whose entire workday is dedicated to them, and it’s all predicated on the idea that men take huge messy shits that require extensive cleanup

Wait, sorry, does Elon think that fentanyl is shipped here via legitimate channels and subject to tariffs? Does he think fentanyl is like soybeans?
