You can tell antivaxxers don’t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements. There’s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesn’t prevent measles.

use of starvation of a civilian population as a weapon of war is a completely unambiguous war crime

"The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care”"

ARE. ARE, YOU DUMBASS.

We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid. Protecting people from shame by renaming MA has definite downsides.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The British actor who plays the Duke alum finance dad on the new season of White Lotus is doing tremendous work with the southern accent; he’s found exactly the one that that guy would have. I feel like he studied footage of SEC athletic directors

Michigan Wide Receiver scholarship class of 2043- catch him before the Buckeyes do 😂

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

We have Nazi salutes now because nobody said anything about Confederate flags.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

New from 404 Media: anyone can push updates to the Doge.gov site. Two sources independently found the issue, one made their own decision to deface the site. "THESE 'EXPERTS' LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN." www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

I get that a lot of people don’t like to read, which encourages reliance on ChatGPT and TikTok - but “aversion to reading” has been an issue for basically forever, and I believe that instead of just giving up, we should still be strongly encouraging people to read, because it’s good for society

One of the defining features of our current moment of lumpenfascism is a preoccupation with symbols of strength, power, or prestige, while being totally uninterested, or even actively opposed to learning about, the actual reasons why those symbols came to be in the first place. Cargo cult ideology.

you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got innumeracy

Fascinating to see what qualifies as an 'invasion'... and what doesn't. nypost.com/2025/02/09/s...

Serena Williams was on the field longer today than Harrison Butker.

Rupert Murdoch is a serial killer of democracies.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

we let chiropractors claim they’re real doctors and look where that got us

Got an email overnight from New American Pathways. They’re really needing an influx of donations to meet the needs of recently arrived families left hanging by the federal funding mess. Link to give if you can: fundraise.givesmart.com/form/glrvJg?...

I'm white but I'm not "name my sourdough starter" white, ya know?

The Democrats are doing nothing in DC except make Carefully Worded Statements and they've become the party of "sportsball" nerds again, this sucks.

Motherfucker.

Rather than wallowing in despair and anxiety, which is a totally healthy response to our political situation, I'm thinking ahead about future elections. On April 1, WI will elect a new supreme court judge. The state is heavily gerrymandered and this election critical. www.crawfordforwi.com

I know a guy who is at least MAGA curious who also spends a lot of time complaining about people who park in parking lots in very selfish ways, and I'm fascinated by the disconnect here.

First good news of the year!

I'm glad K-pop makes you all happy but as a scene it does seem like a sort of unhappy priesthood in a science fiction dystopia.

somebody asked me the other week why business leaders are falling over themselves to pledge fealty when it’s so obviously self-defeating and short-sighted, and I think the answer is “people are stupid”
