Two separate guys I went to Christian university with have been arrested for becoming high school teachers and having sex with students.

huh i wonder why the trump administration lied about releasing the full epstein files

There is a bird flu vaccine for humans. A lot of countries are already giving it out to people who work on farms. Just not the US!

Looks like 50 year old Richie Rich fell into a vat of Joker acid while listening to Baked Alaska raps from 2016.

At least 12 universities now have hiring freezes and nearly 30 have cut PhD admissions this year If you hear of other places you can add them to this google doc:

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Cosign all of this. Additionally: - Yes, you need to install and use Signal - No, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc etc are not good alternatives - You need to get as many people as you can to join you on Signal

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

How's Trump's first month back in office going, you ask?

Don’t be surprised if U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes strikes down the ban transgender troops. The administration came to court utterly unprepared for a serious discussion.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Watching the new HBO documentary about Luigi Mangione

Every "what the fuck dude" you don't say, is encouragement for assholes. Every "ew, why the fuck would you say that" and disgusted expression you hold in, is teaching bigots that their bigotry won't face even the smallest pushback. Teach em a different lesson.

Why do we have a holiday celebrating war criminals in chief?

Human fingernails annoy me, they are mostly useless. You can barely pierce the chest cavity of your prey with them, let alone simply dig into a tree's bark.

The fake video game Pierce's dad made them play on Community had better animation than this

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

When we get to write Constitution 2 may I suggest that the amendment abolishing slavery actually abolishes slavery this time?

Unfortunately, I was one of the thousands of new USDA scientists let go yesterday. It was an absolute honor to work there. If anyone in the southeastern Michigan area knows of a role that might match my background, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your support!

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

The 14 characteristics of Fascism. Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common.

Hey what’s up? I was born yesterday. I’m a one day old BABY, and I don’t see any connection between these two things!

Issa Rae cancels her event at the Kennedy Center after Trump was announced as chairman: “Due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue.”

Got so much snow last night I couldn't get out of my parking lot this morning until the snow plow came by

Just hear me out

1. Major trans news: Corewell Health, Michigan's largest healthcare provider, becomes the first hospital to resume care for trans people under 19 years of age after pausing it. "Care decisions are best made between physicians and their patients and families." Subscribe to support my journalism.

Yeah so my actual question is what are the indigenous names for that body of water

NEWS: Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance is projected by Fox to be the most-watched halftime performance in Super Bowl history. Expected to top 130 million viewers for the performance when the final number comes out.

guy with a literal "relationships with teenage girls" section on Wikipedia didn't like Kendrick Lamar what a surprise

You heard it here first folks, borders aren’t real, they’re just an artificial line someone drew. This quote will 100% start one of my book chapters.

It does not feel like a coincidence that this happened during the Superbowl.

a reminder that those religious orgs who can afford super bowl ads have ties to the very people/groups perpetrating the very transgressions the ad is targeting

The measles vaccine has been available since 1963. In 2000, the measles had been declared eliminated in the US. Now, look at us. www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/h...

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.
