“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I think this passage from Robert Paxton’s Anatomy of Fascism on German society’s failure to respond to Kristallnacht is worth reading. “Many ordinary Germans were offended by the brutalities carried out under their windows. Yet their widespread distaste was transitory and without lasting effect.”

Did they try shaking the plane instead? Would be good to at least get a sprained ankle or stubbed toe out of a congressperson or two.

Good!

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just to be clear, this post earlier is now a crime 👇
