Gonna save this for later, so I know who to thank when everyone in the US is.. [looks down at clipboard] "...so rich, we're not going to know where to spend it." Scam artist language if I ever heard it.

Repost this with the name of the Medicaid programs in your state. In mine it's: "STAR, Texas Medicaid; CHIP" yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/measles-ou...

Elon is terrible so all this 100% applies, but I wish also that people would remember how Tesla sells carbon credits that offset any good environmental intentions behind buying an EV (a practice that should be illegal IMHO). Buy responsibly if you can.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

Nothing like going to the dentist as a couple.

I’m reading the ‘Character Limit’ book about how Elon Musk wrecked Twitter and it’s quite good, but so far the most remarkable thing might be how many different ways the authors come up with to say, more or less, “This guy is zoinked out of his mind all the time”

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

21 DOGE staffers resign rather than help use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services," according to a resignation letter obtained by the AP. Musk has largely tried to keep technical talent at DOGE, mostly laying off designers & product managers. apnews.com/article/doge...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Is it profane? Sure. But is it accurate? Also yes.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

zomg a+ voices of reason in the army. Probably sitting not too far from DoD lawyers helping them not violate Federal law also.

The CHAMPIONS and ONLY TRUE DEFENDERS of women’s sports did WHAT?

How I text my stylist.

"The United States is in a constitutional crisis" Agree: 54% Disagree: 27% Unsure: 19% YouGov / Feb 6, 2025 / n=1106

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

BREAKING: Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts. The full title of the bill is the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act.

US companies gonna raise prices 25% saying "tariffs!" whether it has any bearing or not, and then when the tariffs are eventually cancelled they will pass that savings directly onto the executives' paychecks

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

Looks like Circle K finally fixed their "fill it up!" button on their coffee machines. Good example of liquid surface tension.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

brb making an AI that takes in hundreds of datapoints and uses state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to reply "yes" 100% of the time and automatically prescribe HRT to any trans person who asks for it

In the first 100 days I will dig down into the place of honor. On day one I will issue an Executive Order that the radical woke warning signs be removed and anyone perpetuating the "dangerous and repulsive" lie to be terminated. I will restore the country by touching the ancient treasures.

Nietzsche is a highly overrated edgelord whose most famous quote, "that which does not kill me makes me stronger" was contradicted by *his own fucking life*

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

CEOs can't act too surprised when the video game generations have been literally fighting bosses for decades. #billionaires #capitalism
