This is a good cover but they pulled their punches. The eagle should be tearing its own liver out.

This is wild. Hard to believe the regime's lawyers think this will work out for them.

I mean... Like all things Russian, MAGA basically believe this as well.

This is truly laughable. Not only do these folks hate everyone who isn't like them, but there is a hard 0% chance that anything Trump will ever do will benefit them, whereas Democratic policies, implemented in their areas, would benefit them substantially. The reality is it's all vibes and racism.

A fascinating read. Really cool to see hypotheses observed in the wild.

Again... just true evil. Whatever hope we had left for eliminating SARS2 as a serious health threat was in vaccines like this.

Blatant and outright evil. LGBTQ youth represent a disproportionate share of the suicide rate. Fuck 'em says RFK.

Oy vey. It is very disturbing to see Jewish-American leaders like Lipstadt and organizations like the ADL obviously believing it's legitimate to deploy Gestapo-like tactics against people who disagree with them, as long as they are "anti-semitic". This won't end well for anyone.

This is true, and one has to wonder how much Russian/Saudi sovereign wealth is buying Tesla these days to keep the price propped up.

I don't think most people realize how badly this will affect quality of life in the United States.

What in the actual fuck. Lawsuits, please.

It's hard to say whether all this is small or large potatoes in the grand scheme of things, but when this is over every US federal agency is going to have to torch their sovereign cloud and rebuild from the ground up, thanks to Elon. Likely billions of dollars wasted on that alone.

This is a very high stakes hill Republicans have chosen to die on. The "he's no angel" talking point applied to a random guy who they chose to put in a gulag and are choosing to keep there. It really doesn't take that much imagination to see how this could apply to any of us with some bad luck.

It's actually an interesting question... where in the congressional budget is funding for CECOT?

Small study, interesting methodology. It would be interesting to understand how typical this is for flu-like illnesses. I bet this is unique.

The goal was never "efficiency". It was data access and data joining to enable impunity for Elon, blackmail for his rivals, and other assorted crimes. And needless to say, I'm sure we'll also learn Russia is getting a copy of all this data for its own purposes as well.

This is one of those "I wish we were wrong" kind of moments.

Maybe it's not a "progressive" perspective but if Bukele becomes the host for Trump-sponsored concentration camps containing American citizens, those camps will be liberated if/when the US has a non-fascist government. No question about that. If that requires Bukele's removal, then OK.

A fun question. If you're my age, you've seen a million articles claiming health benefits or impact from a million things, breathlessly spread by the media with little backing evidence. Wine and butter and countless of other things. But when it comes to COVID, nobody wants to touch that.

100%. Trump-Russia is undefeated.

Truly incredible that schools and hospitals still refuse to take even the most basic airborne precautions, even as evidence has already demonstrated the efficacy of filters.

Judge Xinis doing god's work, while the government and their lawyers are handling this just as grotesquely as we could have expected.

An absolutely necessary read for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics (and obvious falsehood) of the "lab leak" hypothesis.

One must admit this regime is pretty good at coming up with new ways to be cruel and evil.

Get any scheduled vaccines you've deferred right now. Check your measles titers, etc. You may not be able to get vaccinated in the US in the future.

Many people seem to think this, but the logical conclusion to Republican politics over the last 45 years is to make things bad for everyone so that the right people are guaranteed to suffer, rather than trying to target good things only at white people.

This is because Trump's policies are literally destroying wealth. Not just billionaire wealth, but the wealth of the nation.

Well, nobody could have guessed that the mystery hepatitis was in fact a SARS2 sequelae... There was so much denial and misplacement of blame on this. gut.bmj.com/content/earl...

I am way more sympathetic to right-wingers ready to acknowledge error than to left-wingers who double down in their foolishness.

I want to point out that narcissists like Trump will double down on stupid behavior. The only thing that will stop the tariffs is a direct threat from someone with leverage over him: i.e. either Putin or the Republican congress.

I was thinking this today. If I were president, I'd Noriega Bukele on my first month in office.

This is great but also the way many white people are... they'll say this now but then when the next ballot has a black person on it they'll be like ... well maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
