As a child of the 80s, I am gobsmacked to see Republicans proposing cutting the Pentagon budget by 35% and hamstringing our military. Like, wtf? They really are ceding American power to Putin. Who would have thunk it?

The guy in charge of food safety at the FDA resigned. Trump’s nominee to replace him is, I assume, someone named E. Coli?

A type 1 diabetic engineer integrated her insulin pump with her CGM using a cheap microcomputer to create OpenAPS. It took YEARS after that for the FDA to approve the first commercial automated insulin delivery system. So yeah, let’s slow that down some more! apnews.com/article/fda-...

Dipshit says “we’re court jesters” as if that means you shouldn’t say anything political. They are all just so dumbfoundingly uncultured.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Ffs. And is this all so he can profit from selling untested supplements to replace proven meds? Or is he a deranged true believer? It’s so hard to tell these days.

I am so confounded by the comment “no one cares.” At the very least, you, my dear troll, clearly care enough to take the time to write that you supposedly don’t care.

The WHO is celebrating women in science! The current US government is opposed to every noun in that sentence. It’s hard not to feel like we’re doomed.

Add refugee to the list of words Trump clearly doesn’t understand. Those supposed “refugees” are large land owners pissed about losing *some* of their property. They don’t need our charity and they can already buy “investor” visas if they want them.

Wow! FINALLY the administration doing ONE THING that I’m not opposed to in the deepest part of my soul. Not going about it in any way that’s legal or practical, but still. I’d begun to wonder if I was just being reflexively contrary. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

So a 25yo dudebro without security clearance, who was hired by a man who couldn't keep Twitter running smoothly, has write-access to the software that runs the Treasury Department. Yeah. I heard they hire the best people, right?

oh my god im sick of looking something up and everything is a video. i dont want to watch a 10 minute video i want to read the two sentence answer in 10 seconds.

I’d love to agree with this, but it took four seasons for some people to realize who the bad guys are in The Boys. Textual analysis, like math, science, critical thinking, etc., is not their strong suit.
