To understand this moment in American politics you have to accept that a significant portion of white Americans (regardless of political affiliation) hates Black people being free more than they love themselves or their children.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Reading tea leaves has never been in my wheelhouse, so I have no idea what the future holds for the continued enjoyment of my favorite consumption-based hobby. Amid the more pressing and harmful concerns ensnared in the situation at hand, I must take a moment to indulge in some disappointment.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

The media now wants to scold us for retracting our support because of their operations’ twenty five year effort of both-siding us into fascism. They’ve ‘some say’ed us into a criminal Presidency that is going to hand our vital intelligence to Russia. But y’know, fun crosswords.

I keep thinking about this video where an autistic woman explained that neurotypical people ask questions with the aim of eliciting shame (what a fool you are for not knowing that), whereas autistic people ask questions because they are interested in the answers.

If Trump's tariff plans are enacted, we may not be able to afford French vanilla anymore. We'd have to resort to American vanilla.... which i think is just mayonnaise.

There is that. VF clearly didn't fact check. Also, writers are dodging the main subject in all of their stories about this topic: that Cormac McCarthy was a pedophile.

There are a lot of people in the replies who don't seem to know the difference between misinformation and disinformation. To be clear: what happened with the Titanic was misinformation (not intentional) due to miscommunication. It was not intentionally misleading, i.e. disinformation.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

My second session with the 2006 Dragon Tea House Yiwu. The cake looks surprisingly green, considering its age. Digging the subtle smoke and medicinal flavor. Hours later, I'm still tasting the sweetness.

I do wonder how a Secretary Hegseth will deal with declining enlistment if he thinks that women don’t belong and that black and brown Americans should not aspire to anything more than grunt work in the military.
