The thing about federal bureaucracy is that all the institutional knowledge that makes them work invisibly in such as making sure your milk doesn't contain formaldehyde, is stored inside people who would make twice as much money in another job.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The first unicellular life on earth seems to have basically begun right after shit stopped glowing, 3.7 billion years ago. Then, 3 billion years went by before the first multicellular life appeared, only 600 million years ago. 84% of the history of known life was single-celled.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

Now go to Open Secrets, look at their top funders, and see one group appear over and over. The same group that funds the GOP seditionists.

This is incredibly bad. Having worked for an FDA regulated body on the D side, I can tell you that this means New drug approval will stall exponentially Slowdown even of emergency use approvals Recalls? What recalls? Private biotech is cooked, resulting in yet more job loss and brain drain

i tell this story every time these old photos come up but: I remember in film school one of my classmates asked what about film chemistry in the 1970s caused everything shot in NYC to look so brown and grimy and our professor was like "that wasn't the film, that's just what the air looked like here"

As the Russians take and lose Ukrainian territory, one of their first targets is the old KGB archives that document their century of crimes against Ukrainians. Control of historical narrative is essential for internal control.

"Improving" the human race with their superior genes is the dream of many broligarchs, along with immortality for themselves. What Musk is trying to do with his breeding center in Texas is just a rehash of what Jeffrey Epstein did with his breeding ranch in New Mexico. They're sick dudes.

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

No one expects Democrats to snap their fingers and create change overnight, but what we do expect is for them to stop acting like spineless managers of the status quo and start fighting like they actually believe in something beyond protecting the billionaire donor class that captured both parties.

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.
