I've been saying this since day 1. I'd bet that he is dead.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

America's supply chains are weaker than a gas station coffee, our workforce can't do basic math, and our infrastructure makes a Jenga tower look stable.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Wow, Blue Prince really opens up once you get the railgun

Someone in the crowd is in medical distress while nurses are on stage at the fighting oligarchy rally. The nurses rush off stage to give medical aid

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Might as well: If you're one of the hundreds of scientists working on this secret initiative, would love to speak with you. (Or if you know anything about.)

Brutal WSJ cover

All the soft MAGA bloggers who are heralding a glorious return to industrial labor should absolutely show us how it’s done by working a month at a steel mill.
