Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

Boys have been with me a week. They're absolutely the sweetest little dogs. They're finally comfortable enough to run & play. Today, they had zoomies for a good 20 minutes before passing out. Tomorrow, I'm going to dinner at my BFF's house. That will be their first time alone for more than an hour.

I'm so sorry, Julianne Moore & LeUyen Pham 💔 Thank you for FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY. For writing, for illustrating a book for the kids with freckles, for the adults with freckles. A story insisting it's okay to be different. Your differences make you YOU 💛 pen.org/julianne-moo...

Multiple reports of drivers doing spontaneous sieg heil salutes at protesters today, including in one case from someone I know personally. What is being normalized is monstrous and dangerous; every day we step closer to the abyss

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

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...

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Tariffs increase inflation. Stocks tumble. Politically motivated layoffs throughout the Federal government increase unemployment. Local governments can't absorb the lost jobs. Cuts to USAID lose American farmers $500M+. Cuts to FAA makes air travel scarier. Tourism likely to go down.
