#ScathingAtheist 627 Diatribe by Noah Lugeons (3/6/25) 🔊: audioboom.com/posts/866487...

#GVerse Obviously we are not allowed to see this, so we have to spread it - protest against #NotMyPresident.

I really hate it when people say we will deserve our own destruction because it horribly disrespects all the people who have sacrificed their time, energy, strength, intelligence, blood, sweat, tears, and even lives to make this world a better place.

I will not read comments on vaccine posts I will not read comments on vaccine posts. I will not . . . 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

ProPublica and @texastribune.org have identified nearly a dozen immigrants who have been flown to Guantanamo Bay. Government officials have refused to release the names of detainees or provide details about the crimes that landed them in detention. By Perla Trevizo and @micarosenberg.bsky.social

These pets of mine – an autobiographical tale Eläinystäväni Pienenä olisin halunnut lemmikin, kissan, koiran tai kummatkin. Isän allergian vuoksi tämä ei käynyt. Viiden vanhana sanoin, etten tule isän hautajaisiin, vaan menen ostamaan kissan ja koiran. #catdrawing #dogdrawing #autobiographical

Can we, as a culture, finally jettison the idea that financial stability is more than a tiny percentage under any individual's control?

Tiny Thing that Unreasonably Enraged Me # 2,089,349: When you move your cursor over the button you want to click, and the button moves just as you click the mouse. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Good piece by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social about a fallacy or thought terminating premised on demanding research that’s already been done. This one is particularly effective on the ever credulous Serious Person Centrists who’ll treat any question as legitimate as it’s civilly posed.

ICYMI: For thousands of Americans suffering from a condition called long COVID, their situation has left them not only with debilitating physical health but also struggling financial health.

"There’s nothing selective about this prosecution; FACE is simply the law that Harlow and her coconspirators violated. This is rather like complaining that laws against theft selectively target thieves."

So, Elon and the Treasury payment system computers . . . Anyone considered that our boy might be searching for a bit of code that might finally make PayPal *not* a piece of shit?

Unpopular Opinion Time! I am completely in favor of participation prizes. Go ahead and have prizes for "winning" or whatever. But anyone who puts in the effort and time to try, goddamned right they deserve a prize.

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

I GOT IT! Ghosts--I figured it out! A lot of people sleep naked. A lot of people die in their sleep. Your ghost clothes are the clothes you died in. If you don't have ghost clothes, YOU GET A SHEET! You grab a sheet and that's your ghost clothes forever. So glad I figured that out!

#Skepticrat 241 “DOGE and Pony Show” Edition is ready on @Patreon. 🔊: www.patreon.com/posts/121886... We learn about the art of the trade deal. Turns out it's not very artistic.

Trump is creating a task force to root out "anti-Christian bias." Which is somehow even less prevalent than voter fraud. And, like the voter fraud panel, when they don't find any, they'll have to make some up. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I'm so fucking sick of these "can't we all get along" platitudes. No. The other side are Nazis. Compromising with them is morally unjustifiable. Shut the fuck up, Brad Pitt.

USAID Fraud Allegations: Fact vs. Fiction Fact Inspector General’s Investigations: - USAID’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) actively investigates allegations of major fraud, corruption, and misconduct within its programs and operations, demonstrating accountability in addressing internal issues.

I really want an old fashioned rumble between the Swifties and the MAGAts tonight in New Orleans. I think the Swifties would chuck the lot of 'em into Lake Pontchartrain.

Okay, visitors from other planets? Now is a GREAT time to make yourselves known to all of us. We're all just going to say, "Sure! Why not?"

Is it just me or has WIRED been dogwalking the rest of the media on this story

"Americans should be deeply concerned about the prospect of troops carrying out missions on U.S. soil, for violence and escalation are likely to follow." www.americanprogress.org/article/dome...

"It is possible to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal." No, it isn't. To believe and say something so trite is to admit you do not understand what "fiscally conservative" and "socially liberal" actually mean, nor who is helped by the social funding programs you seek to diminish.

I was genuinely thinking there was a chance here. So sad what Trump has done to people’s brains.

Today's sentence to write 100 times in a spiral notebook: "Never read the comments on a normie page." 😫

Screaming scares my cats, else I would be doing a lot more of it.

What’s on deck for #GodAwfulMovies 492? “The Earthing Movie” (2018) with special guest masochist Steven Novella. IMDb 🔗: www.imdb.com/title/tt1292... Watch it on YouTube if you must 🎥: youtu.be/bSnFRjMx5ik?...

Steve performs his own (unique) version of Macbeth. Please remember, Steve is trying his best.....

You're understanding correctly.

Now I want to propose to Marvel: “A Spider-Man universe where all he does is punch people in the genitals,” and see if I can get some traction.

An overview of Trump's bull-in-a-china-shop beginning of term, including the U.S. pulling out of the WHO (with a brief intervention by me around minute 21).

So that church CAN fire people on the spot when they feel like it.

Only 1447 more days of checking in daily to “see if he died yet.”

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Today's @slate.bsky.social crossword is mine! Do it! You will learn things (while groaning at all the horrible puns)! slate.com/life/2025/01...

OMG, Bambi and The Lion King are the same story.
