From Green Day regarding tomorrow's Gold Coast Australia show:

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

And, just like that, the shining city on the hill has become a seedy Atlantic City casino, morally and patriotically bankrupt.

Donald Trump. Hero of the Russian Federation.

The US has become a lawless Country Governed by a Crime Syndicate.

If you submitted all this as a script for a remake of The Manchurian Candidate it would be rejected as too far fetched. Russia is destroying the US without firing a shot.

It's not enough for Trump and Musk to get richer...others must be poorer.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

You know what's an underrated SciFi show? Silo. Don't hear about it much, but it's very good and I hope they continue into season 3, as its getting so interesting!

Why the financial markets are the only real check on Trump: With Congress acquiescing to all of Trump’s wishes and the courts stacked in his favour, many are concerned about an unbridled president. To the rescue comes the market. www.forbes.com.au/news/investi...

"Nancy Kerrigan must mend the breach with Tonya Harding--or resign"

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Hello World... I'm honored to have seven of my short stories on the Moon as part of the Lunar Codex

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Trump and Vance are compromised by the Kremlin, because they owe their power, in part, to the Kremlin, and they aspire to be as rich and powerful as Russia's ruling elite. There was nothing Zelenskky could have done to overcome these two bad faith actors aligned with the Kremlin.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

If SCOTUS agrees with Edolf KetaMeinKampf Musk that no judge should be able to tell the president what to do... it's game over. There's nothing left. Nice run. Have a good night's sleep.

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by administrative procedural defect

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Texas is introducing a bill to prevent kids from accessing gender confirming healthcare but it has been amended so that all mentions of children have been struck out This is it. They’re making the push to remove healthcare access for adults capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/...

"There is a very specific group that does have to worry about their immunity from vaccination. People born after 1957 but vaccinated before 1968. At that point in time, they were using less effective vaccines."

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Andrew Tate has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat, with a mortality rate of about 90%. In today’s episode,  we talk with a scientist  who is fighting the cancer with an mRNA vaccine. Listen here 🎧: https://buff.ly/3ES4ndw

Whoa! Tax tribunal order citing non-existent, fictitious court judgements!!

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Listening to Gabor Maté talk about how people ostracise others to make themselves feel better about their own sense of inadequacy or lack of belonging

Survival of the Richest is the worst reality show

My God!

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

I'm damaged as fuck but I'll never hurt anyone the same way I've been hurt.

We are siding with the enemy.

Opinion | Government workers need to be more productive on the job. They can start by writing weekly emails detailing their progress to a drug-addled edgelord who will receive them while playing Diablo 4 with teenagers.

Wise man…
