This looks pretty awesome (the app, the hobby, this person)

This kind of sentences should be reserved for homicide or cruelty towards children. This is insane.

It's hard to put it to words sometimes because the right is so evil and stupid and insane that you have to study the contours, but RFK really is just a dumb sociopath who put his entire brand into "alternative medicine" and would rather kill every child in America than admit he could be wrong.

America's home-grown violent criminals includes hundreds of people who attacked the US on Jan. 6, 2021. With due process, they were found guilty of felonies in court by unanimous juries. These criminals are now out of jail, not rendered to El Salvador without due process, because Trump let them out.

I wouldn’t define myself as a “defund the police” kind of person, but in the case of ICE, I feel this should be dismantled the minute a normal government is back in place. Like Germany got rid of the SAs and the Gestapo. (Noting, of course, they Dems are not likely to do a thing about it)

RFK Jr is a piece of shit

I’m always struck at how many fin tweet people and columnists (the serious ones anyway) always punctuate their writings by “not financial / legal advice!” - while a Health Secretary, wielding massive authority just because of the title, can *blatantly lie* like this and have zero legal consequence

This is why you never capitulate. This would be the end of Columbia university. It would be a testing ground for the direct fascist takeover of private universities by a dictator. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Fucking grifters

During Biden and Buttigieg the NHTSA was a feckless mess, refusing to seriously hold Tesla accountable for rampant, broadly fatal misrepresentation of "full self driving" now whatever was left of the agency will be hollowed out like a pumpkin by oligarchs great job everyone, no notes

Watching awkwardly in Alaska

💀💀💀

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

Every other day we learn of a new fraud in the Trump cabinet. Today we have Doug Burgum, who thinks conservation suffers from regulation and needs more innovation. You can practically smell the corruption already and the total disregard for preserving nature.

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story. Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

The more you know 🌈✨

It’s a NightTide Morbid Minds frenzy today, kids! Tapeworms, parthenogenetic lizards, and CRISPR aren’t just curiosities, they may hold the key to understanding xenomorph biology. Bash Ortega explores XENOMORPH SEX AND GENETICS for #NightTideMag! 👻📽️ nighttidemag.com/2025/04/08/x...

weird how all the rapey criminal assholes run to the political party whose entire sales pitch is that being a rapey criminal asshole is great and everyone else is the problem

Nation Could Have Sworn Russell Brand Was Already Convicted Sex Offender

The magic of this grifting administration is that the list is even longer: • Trump & his tariffs • Elon destroying decades of expertise at the service of US citizens, while adding 100,000s to unemployment. • RFK Jr wants more dead children. • Waltz and Tulsi Gabbard • Linda Mc Mahon on education

Another good test of people’s political leanings! Who wants to bet Elon and co would scream “omg the judges are ruling the government!!” If asked about this. 🫠

The extent to which MAGA is doing Mao-era cultural policy with different coat of ideological paint is absolutely bonkers to me. Even the Chinese see it and are boggled.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

“And this is why it was actually good that Trump remove Biden’s cap on insulin prices”

The man who thought transgenic mice were transgender and that injecting bleach was a good idea ‘does’ economics. What could possibly go wrong?

Honest questions: do republicans in congress plan on doing anything? Or they’re just happy to drive right into a wall?

Do I look at my savings now and sell all my equity until things settle down or do I wait till next week to feel desperate

Pundits have talked so much about our constitutional crisis, but I honestly think the real test of our democracy as it exists in 2025 is whether the monied interests that are actually in charge in America allow this administration to more or less single-handedly wreck the economy.

Absolutely tired of the psychodrama of one country being the problem of the entire planet.
