LMAO

The BBC barely mentions Trump’s demented trade war with the entire globe, and leaves out Brexit altogether.

Sounds like a direct answer to me!

man

At the start, I was told "freezing grants is just temporary" from people who obviously didn't realize what happens with "temporary" freezes is that cell cultures and lab animals die and people move on to positions where they're still being paid.

Or she's counting on the pattern of polite deference that's been shown to her mask-off transphobia continuing. Everybody who accepted that she Just Had Reasonable Concerns about trans rights now has a strong psychological motivation to swallow this, rather than accept that they were wrong.

Notice how all in all those videos of ICE raiding immigration courts and restaurants and such that their gear is always mismatched Amazon tacticool airsoft stuff, they look *identical* to some assholes who just ordered a bunch of Condor LARP shit

Those 50501 rallies reek of liberal counterinsurgency...

From the New York Times, a 5 part podcast ignoring their own role in fomenting a moral panic targeting trans youth.

The latest wave of COVID revisionism is a transparent attack on the idea of expertise itself. It is not 'hubris' for public health professionals to issue guidance during public health emergencies!

this is just 2004 again. this is just heckuva job brownie. we've done this one alread.y. i'm writing an angry letter to the editor

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.

Hind Khoudary reports that in two of the 'aid distribution hubs' Israel has established in southern Gaza Israeli drones & tanks have opened fire on Palestinians collecting aid. Many people have been killed, shot in the head or upper body as they were trying to get food parcels

Sometimes I’m annoyed that the Dems can’t come up with anything to beat the people running on “vote for me I’ll kill you”

Here is a thread about Pritzker

kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.

Do it weekly or all at once. This is just stupid.

Dr Assal Rad— “𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 is NYT’s euphemism for crimes against humanity.”

the first sentence of Elon's obituary should be that he was one of the greatest mass murderers in the history of humanity this is his legacy

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

Trade policy update.

Hard work is not the path to success, hard work is the path to maybe doing ok. The path to success is doing massive and severe fraud

REPORTER: When could the administration resume interviews for foreign students visa? TRUMP: On what? REPORTER: Foreign student visas TRUMP: For the French? REPORTER: All the foreign students TRUMP: What are you referring-- foreign visas for what?

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

Ideally Trudeau would’ve matched his outfit to the sneakers, rather than (what some are wishing for) matching the shoes to the outfit.

I wrote about this in my newsletter but the idea that Bluesky has a uniquely hostile culture does not ring true to me. Twitter’s culture, especially at its peak, was so hostile that it lit people’s entire lives on fire if they tweeted something nice about their day that upset the wrong person

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night. I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin. I was wrong. He is not ignorant. This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.
