This is the problem with X in a nutshell. You fundamentally can't trust the product, because the owner will trash it's functioning in an effort to make the world match his batshit views. It's as if Henry Ford was not just antisemitic, but stitched anti-semitic propaganda into every Model T.

A million times this. Like every other professional league, the MLB made partnerships with betting apps an essential part of their business model, and now they have to rehab former players who denigrated the sport because gambling is now a great thing.

The Nation was spoon-fed documents from a bad-faith Republican House committee and covered them as if they were a scandal. The more I look into the lab leak the more shocked I am at how desperately the media tried to launder the theory into something respectable. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

John Roberts, who has abdicated the Supreme Court's role in government and through his decisions, has facilitated the deforming of the government's structure and the debilitation of public education, would like to blame the teachers, thank you very much. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Convincing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the blue fluid from bus toilets is a wave-disrupting proton immunity elixir. He signs up for a $1200 monthly subscription for a two-ounce vial. "You have to rub it on your gums," I tell him. "Of course," he answers. It sounds like sneakers in a running dryer.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

How long do you think it takes a NYT reporter to order dinner? “Reports around this establishment suggest that this particular patron is interested in procuring for sustenance the ground meat from a grass-fed bovine, shaped into a flat disc and fried on the grill before being placed on a roll.”

This seems like kind of a big story and it's frustrating that we're still getting "it's time for liberals to consider the lab leak" think pieces. The two best pieces of "evidence" come directly from the Trump Administration and have completely fallen apart under scrutiny!

The last fellas who came from Chicago, were given a rigorous education in Catholicism and then claimed to be on a mission from God? They destroyed a suburban shopping mall, wrecked about 300 police cars and ended up in Joliet penitentiary. Just saying.
