Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

an important aspect of this to remember is that the misinformation isn’t an accident, they know they’re lying. that’s the intention. if they can anger and rile up their base with claims that are exaggerated they’ll continue to fuel them to gain power. they want us to live in a post-truth world

This is your daily reminder. It is time to step away from the internet and pet a cat or something. A dog also works. If no pets are available, read a book or bake some bread or something.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

This goes to the dark heart of m MAGA, though: the urge to dominate, embodied in the child’s taunt “stop hitting yourself.” Every generation of kids teaches itself that taunt because it so perfectly captures the psychic reward of bullying: hurting someone while blaming them for their own suffering.
