The American Experiment on the Highway to Hell. And you can despise Musk, too, as I do, and note this.

Not the main issue but sort of underscores the problem that the government didn’t already know the answer to this www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

"These are real people with real families" cool when they come home do they tell the kids about how they busted up an elementary school graduation that day

this is the way you're supposed to do it, hence the name

if there's much question, sounds like we've got our first tangible evidence about the quality of the case they're bringing against Abrego Garcia.

If only the New York Times would Investigate this

As a Californian, I am fucking *tired* of paying for shitass Republican failed policies in their states while our public schools lose funding and we can’t afford to build housing. If these motherfuckers want to play this game then fuck it, we’re the 4th largest economy in the WORLD. Good luck.

Literally yesterday, Ed Markey told me Republicans would preserve the IRA renewable energy tax credits BECAUSE most of them go to red states. Democrats continually go out of their way to provide a windfall for areas that don't vote for them.

The Trump Administration always had the power to bring Kilmar Abrego back. They were always lying about this, all of it was lies. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl... They chose to disobey court orders because they are authoritarians who regard the Constitution as an inconvenience.

NEW A little-noticed provision in the Senate budget bill would gut the government’s long-running CAFE fuel economy program for cars & light trucks. The provision sets all penalties for automakers who run afoul of the rules to zero — essentially repealing the law. heatmap.news/politics/cor...

This whole thing has been a secret war against knowing stuff and the people who know stuff.

This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.

One striking thing from this (excellent) report on a DOGE employee's use of AI is that everything about it is antithetical to sound software engineering practices—an engineer hurriedly deploying an unfamiliar tool to meet an impossible deadline for a problem domain in which he has no expertise.

Notice how Super Mario and all his supposed “enemies” are happy to get together and go go-kart racing? Wake up. It’s all kayfabe

Jen Psaki and Senator Murphy are right - Elon's criticism of the "we're all going to die" bill IS NOT because he suddenly feels bad for cutting services that working people have paid into for years. It's because his cut of the grift isn't as much as he wanted. Elon cares about himself only.

Ro Khanna frantically interrogating his staff about who this Mr Neither is and whether he can be brought into the Dem tent

@nmrfam.bsky.social NMRFAM is undergoing a major infrastructure upgrade to improve power, HVAC, compressed gas, and chilled water systems > All spectrometers will be down June 5-30 > Servers down June 5-10 This will affect Pine and other NMRFAM software nmrfam.wisc.edu #NMRchat 🧲

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

its not about converting trump voters im tired of repeating this. why can't people understand it. you get your voters and unaligned voters enthusiastic. you create a movement. if trump voters wanna come along? great. but you do your thing.

This is a thread where you can tell me the weird people food your CAT liles. I do not care what your dogs like, they will eat anything. This is about PEOPLE FOOD, your CATS like. And not normal stuff like ham.

you really need to read the article yourself and post the paragraph that makes your jaw hit the floor, but i'll share a few

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

The distance between Elon Musk being the richest person in the world and Elon Musk being in prison for an obvious Theranos-style scam that kills its victims is the distance between the world we live under and the world we have on paper

It is 2025 and transphobes are still afraid of the term "chestfeeding" which no trans person has ever used.

Voters love it when you believe in absolutely nothing, and they will respect you for embracing the people who are trying to destroy you. It really signals that you’re willing to fight.

thinking about how much different the world would be if Democrats thought calling Republicans weird was a good idea and whatever this is was a bad idea

I have tried to get normal people to believe this and it's basically impossible. A tidal wave of death and suffering was being held back by a trivial piece of the US budget, but our brains just aren't wired to understand the world that way.

"Americans don't care that a billionaire installed a bunch of far-right psychos in office who then gutted healthcare."

He used to respect Alex Jones back when he was harassing the families of school shooting victims but he’s changed man, the money got to him

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not “misinformation”. Not “misleading”. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

u BETA CUCKS don't understand that when REAL ALPHA MEN go at it things get PHALLOCENTRIC that's right im talkin FROTTAGE

It's worth noting here that Elon's principal objection to the reconciliation bill is that its Medicaid cuts are not nearly savage enough. If Elon wants to damage Trump great but there's no Dem tent big enough to include the "kill hundreds of thousands of poor Africans for kicks" guy

They are doing this to people in the most fragile circumstances so Bill Gates gets more money

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

If you’re overstimulated, please report to the Bluesky cooldown tent where we have orange slices and someone who doesn’t understand the concept of jokes waiting for you

elon musk to donald trump at every meeting in the oval office: “you are in the epstein files. meet my 3 year old son”

It's 100% a real Dad Book that recounts the daring deeds and adventures of a true US Marine!

Every 7.5 minutes, an American man thinks about the Roman Empire. Albeit now with an increasingly dreadful sense of recognition.

the Roberts-era SCOTUS: *hey, it's only corruption when a politician accepts payment in quid-pro-quo return for an official act* the world's richest man: *I spent $300 million for these people, and g*ddamnit I want my quid pro quo*
