Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real. Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this. Not complaining, just surprising.

Major events in human history are often driven by incredible assholes, just monstrous douchebags with ego problems that cause them to float through the world committing atrocities and cheering themselves onwards. Nate Silver should both read better books and go to therapy.

Here’s my prediction for DOGE: Whatever minimal amount of money it may possibly save in the short term will be far exceeded by the ultimate cost of fixing all of the problems it creates. It’s already an epic failure.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Your periodic reminder that, 150 years ago, a desire to read fiction was considered both a sign of mental illness in women and a symptom of it. The groups devoted to banning some books because they're "immoral", "obscene", etc. are just growths from the same bad root.

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

I will believe members of Congress are serious about government corruption when they pass bills to ban themselves from trading stocks and overturn Citezens United. Everything else is to make people feel like they’re addressing corruption.

In college I had a history prof walk into class slam a potato down & say "this is the most important entity here. There is not one person on this campus or even in this city whose significance to human history will prove to be anywhere close to that of a potato" & ykw gotta admit he was 100% right

This is what we’ve been doing in Canada. Boycott it all. Calling stores, corporate offices & asking why they aren’t doing anything, telling them why we won’t buy their products. If a business is making zero effort in the buy Canadian movement/elusive/lying about product origin…we shop elsewhere.

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

We had friends & allies around the world based on alliances & relationships that were built over many decades. In one month, Trump has torched them all. Now our friends are Putin, Orban, the crypto scammer in Argentina, and the guy in El Salvador offering us mercenary prisons.

Thanks to the vaccine, by the 21st century polio cases were reduced by 99 percent worldwide.”

One sign of narcissism is that the person thinks that anything that is not of interest to him/her is of no value. Trump and Musk do not recognize the value of keeping citizens fed, educated, or safe. They have no interest in scientific research or understanding of it, so it must be dismissed.
