Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

The CHAMPIONS and ONLY TRUE DEFENDERS of women’s sports did WHAT?

Bluesky more science-friendly (but full of crazy liberal wokeness 😂) according to this article.

Update: The Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. has released a statement calling on "the President and the Secretary of Defense to immediately rescind this action" www.tuskegeeairmen.org/wp-content/u...

Ava-Santina, "Don't you love that we've been told that for the past 5 or 6 years that the thing we need to be most frightened of are what pronouns people are using" @AvaSantina "And then someone actually does a Nazi salute behind the President's podium on life television and we're fine with that"

Today I was asked in an interview about folks who use the weirdness of ✨quantum✨ to hawk pseudoscience junk. I think that kind of grift proliferates because of a big misunderstanding a lot of folks have about quantum mechanics, which is not really their fault! 🧵

Think of the time being wasted by diplomats and experts in Europe and Latin America, as they start planning how to counter American attacks on Panama or Greenland. Time that could be spent thinking about a unified response to Russia and China.

nobody was bothered about trans ppl existing 7 years ago. everything that pisses you off about us is entirely fabricated by news media and politicians. every concern you have about our healthcare being ‘experimental’ is a lie. nothing you think you know is accurate.

"The average Florida resident now lives about 590 miles from the nearest clinic that offers abortions after six weeks and will need to wait nearly 14 days to end her pregnancy past that point — up from an average 20-mile drive and five-day wait before the ban." Gift link: wapo.st/4aBrWSf

I am surprised that no one has brought up how Kissinger sabotaged the Paris Peace Talks in 1968. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

What a surprise, said no one

"She’d decided to leave because of anti-transgender laws that she saw as a part of a precipitous fall into authoritarian politics in Florida"

It would be a disaster for the US, which would descend into fascism, and for the world

The cartoon on this page is spot-on

What an appaling man

David Bowie: Candid pictures of singer on tour go on display

GOP sex predators "delighted" with election of Jim Jordan because it "guarantees that they won't be reported", says anonymous source [satire warning]

And another....

It is almost unbelievable that a sizeable percentage of voters can't see what an abject liar, and disgusting person, Trump is

"Musk start-up Neuralink seeks people for brain-implant trial"

Boebert is classless, lying, bigoted trash

The Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio, was set to be sentenced in Fed Court at 10a today (up to 33 yrs for Jan 6th) but it was cancelled by court officials about 9a due to an "emergency." (No further info given.) These pics of him say a lot. "We're known by the company we keep."

Bigotry has consequences

Not everything is a "both sides" issue. Particularly when a people's basic rights are involved.

Stochastic terrorism

Every accusation from the right is a confession..

As true today as it was then. The cowardly, spineless, mendacious Republican congress members have magically forgotten, or claimed in contradiction to themselves, that it was just a tourist visit/a false flag by "antifa"

Actual abusers and groomers. This is why they deflect onto LGBT people.

I'm so shocked, said no one

The Florida GOP and DeSantis are against indoctrination. Except when they want to indoctrinate people

putting aside the dangerous authoritarianism for a second it is striking what thin skinned whiny babies they are
