Does EVERY single US president have to get the FELL FOR IT AGAIN AWARD from Tel Aviv?

this is some bullshit. the Supreme Court can say what it wants and Congress can play possum while the republic crumbles, but authority in this country comes from the people, and these are our documents they’re restricting us from, not their documents. We have the right to see and study what’s there.

I am reminded of a great point my comrade Ani made at the time of Brexit, about Leftists who "encourage attempted short-cuts based on an underestimation of 'the masses' capacity to detect bullshit". People who want "left-wing FOX" or "left-wing Joe Rogan" think that propaganda slop is fungible...

No no you guys don't understand, using cranes is incredibly difficult stuff and they'll learn so much from this that will make their next crane even better!

Thinking about what it means that white educated men are voting Mamdani and working-class women of color are voting Cuomo, and I think it comes down to: this is a "better things are possible" vote vs. a "please don't hurt me" vote Social progress comes from class layers with self-efficacy...

Think they'll remember him when they're drawing up the lists of panic pardons in Jan 2029?

This is top five one of the most alarming quiet headlines of the year. Americans, they want to take YOUR NATIONAL ARCHIVES away from you. Every Conservative Father figure from 80's-2000's pop culture is having a fucking aneurysm and real conservatives are just...quiet?

Wowza that was a good question

what makes me rage so much in part about antivaxxers is that they are purely free-riders, but they don't see this, and they convert more people to their belief.....and then suddenly no one can free ride and even some people who did the right thing (getting vaccinated) get a breakthrough infection

CBC: 'For long COVID sufferers, a beacon of hope closes its doors' "It kind of feels like they've been abandoned. They've been sort of left on their own" "It's kind of like HIV in the early days. We are making progress, but science does take time..." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda. Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants. He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

looking at the list of names, my assumption — which is, i should not have to add, not a defense — is that they think they might be cracking house republicans on the budget and want to keep focus there

holy shit

This parking example is illustrative of the degree of magical thinking required to make the business case for this ridiculous spa. I recall from reporting on the proposal assumed ~6m visitors per year. The Eiffel tower gets ~6m per year. Totally, utterly bonkers. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/....

I see people asking "why wouldn't you fact check???" and that's missing the point- RFK Jr knows things and facts and evidence are real if they validate him, fake if they don't. His authority status as Knower precedes any petty facts. The truth is already known and facts exist to support the Knower.

MEMO: Junior VP Joss has had a rough couple of days, so if you see him in the building try not to mention staircases, cars, monofilament, badgers, or mineshafts. #Shadowrun

Some very alarming things in here

Trump is now out here literally thanking the Bush family for congratulating him on bombing a Middle Eastern nation.

A lot of stuff goes live and THEN the copy editor reads it. Or no one told the copy editor that it even went live and the copy editor is just living life and finds a mistake later.

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

Rep Troy Carter questioning RFK Jr on cuts to HIV reasearch "that saves lives." RFKj: show me 1 life Carter: I can show you a lot of lives if you've got a minute. I'm insulted you'd suggest there aren't lives that have been lost. RFK Jr has boosted AIDS denial www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Liberals promise anti-democratic components of Bill C-5 will be used sparingly as long as Conservatives never get in power again

Another neat aspect of #Andrea was the earlier convective burst. Likely aided by dynamics via an upper-level cutoff. Positive coupling b/w low-level vortex of Andrea & upper-level low helped trigger enough convection to reach TC criteria. Cross-section annotated from @tropicaltidbits.bsky.social

Yeah I gotta get boobs done some day. Increase in e dose last year made them ache but I detect no durable expansion.
