The current state of foreign relations:

The guy who claimed to be debanked because of being a conservative was Erik Prince. He wasn’t debanked over politics. He was debanked because he runs a private military contractor group that has committed war crimes and operated in sanctioned regions of the world.

No one tells you this but 90% of parenting a toddler, is just walking around covered in stickers all the time. You will forget they are there. You will answer the door, while your shirt is covered in random farm animal stickers. This is your life now.

Me after my kid presses play on “The Wheels on the Bus” music box for the 27th time back to back:

You ever fire off a tweet, and think “damn this would kill it on Bluesky” and then remember you have like 6 followers here, and so you’re kinda semi-stuck chasing dopamine hits, on the nazi invested cess pool run by an overgrown man child who is still trying to win over his parents love?

And addiction, and dementia, and stroke risk and, and, and, and, and. These things are turning out to be miracle drugs. But it really shines a light on how poorly we understand gut health and nutrition being precursors to many seemingly unrelated diseases. Most important discovery in decades.

Dear #promosky algorithm overlords: help me locate other nerds that like: -science -public policy -law -economics -random nerdy stuff -YouTube -classic video games -books -civil order -British panel shows -John Oliver’s show -give a shit about decency -weird collectibles -etc Kthnxbai.

1/3 Trump’s attempt to rewrite the 14th amendment is simply invalid. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” People will argue about the “jurisdiction clause”

1/4 In fact, the constitution itself prevents this. The 9th amendment protects your natural rights, that are unenumerated, including rights of self-determination. The 10th amendment ensures the federal government *only* has express powers outlined in the constitution.

This week's Nerd Dive is out, and it includes a bear - so you won't want to miss it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2pb... Enjoy the story of Wojtek!

1/2 What a fucking idiot. The US trades nearly as much with Canada as it does China. The difference is Canada isn’t cheap manufacturing. It’s crude oil, critical rare earth metals, large timber, processed petrol, and medical supplies.

1/15 The reason she became the FBI’s person of interest is because she was vice chair of the DNC at the time, and her emails weren’t included in the leak. She also then started amplifying pro-Russian talking points, and Kremlin owned media outlets, including justifying Russia’s actions in Crimea.

My latest weekend hobby of explaining nerdy stuff on Youtube continues, with "Why does the Calendar have 52 weeks?!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WLp...
