Why is it that no matter what color a bar of soap is, the lather is always white? 🤨

Happy Valentine’s Day to this fabulous couple, still going strong after 32 years!

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids. “I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

there are simply too many stories and not enough paid journalists to write them all. this is by design.

The power dynamics are different, but something about Rubio being in Panama with a message that he and the people he's delivering it to know is nonsense, on behalf of someone they both know is a moron, reminds me of a story from back in ~1990, when I was still living a Bohemian lifestyle. 🧵

In other words, use the Republican playbook. A cryin' wasteful shame, but that is what works these strange, painful days.

In sci-fi from the '50s, and you'll see video calls, AI, and space travel long before they were real. The future is built on the wild ideas of today—so dream big, and with hope and vision. 🚀✨ #ScienceFiction #FutureThinking

Just as Trump didn’t bother to place his hand on the Bible as he took the oath of office, most who are OK with these loyalist nominees just chuckle when someone asks about their conflicts-of-interest. Working to serve the country before yourself is a quaint, old-fashioned concept for this bunch.

You tell him Pete! He wouldn't know the truth if it punched him in the face!

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.

Sen. Whitehouse: Did you repost this video depicting you taking a chainsaw to your political enemies? Patel: Senator, I had nothing to do with the creation of that... Whitehouse: Is that you reposting it? Patel: That's me... at the top Call your senators and tell them NOT to vote for Patel

I think the highest it's ever been was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Wouldn't be surprised if we return.

I don't blame We the People. Half of us didn't vote, and my busy friends who voted R still believe it's our fathers' Conservative party. I blame the likes of Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch and Les Moonves. They sure do (did) know how to entertain us, real-life consequences be damned.

The Trump Admin seems to be developing a pattern of unleashing their most authoritarian, lawless shit typically around midnight, with no prior announcement to the public or even to Republicans in Congress. What will we wake up to tomorrow?

This is my wife’s work. She does pediatric clinical research. Kids with dangerous or fatal blood clots. And TFG is withholding funding. Trump withholds funding from sick kids. Keep shouting it.

So sorry to see him go.

going on msnbc with host @samsteindc.bsky.social around 5:40 am et this am ☕️ 🌞

Reminds me of the Tale of the Nordic Mom: Every morning at four she puts hard boiled eggs in her son's ice skates, so when he reaches the frozen lake to practice his toes might be warm and he'll have food to eat.

I drew this in 2013, but I repost it once each winter as a cautionary tale. 🎩 David Zinn

Uncle Autocorrect is a malevolent entity lurking in the depths of cyberspace, emerging only to wreak havoc on the forces of coherence and eloquence everywhere. Its destructiveness is directly proportional to the importance of the communication and potential for humiliation.

The U.S. Air Force will resume teaching about the nation's first Black pilots and the women pilots of World War II. This followed widespread public outcry over their earlier decision to stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen and the WASPs.

This is equally hilarious and horrifying. #StrangeTimes

I'm new to this platform, already loving the fact that it's full of creatives. I want to connect with more creatives, actors, writers, filmmakers, etc. I want my feed full of art and artists. Let's connect, let's grow and let's keep creating. 😍 #Actors #Filmmakers #IMDb #authors #writingcommunity

Wow, I hope those were used books. Or you got a big advance.

This photo speaks volumes

This is sickening and criminal. After Kennedy’s consultation and recommendations, “the question of what would happen to Samoa’s unvaccinated babies was answered. A measles outbreak swept the country, sickening thousands and killing 83, mostly small children.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

You can always choose to do the right thing.

Wait ... what?
