Beer is the mind-killer Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration I will drink my beer I will permit it to pass over me and through me When the beer has gone there will be nothing left Only I will remain

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

They really don’t care if we live or die. I’ve known it for years, but it’s definitely something to see it happening in real time

NEWS: The FDA abruptly canceled its upcoming advisory committee meeting to select the strains for next year's flu shot. by @berkeleyjr.bsky.social

Imagine you’re attempting a takeover of the world like a Bond villain and your number one henchman is called “Big Balls”. Even the Austin Powers movies weren’t that lowbrow.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

As the one person who’s written the only TV episode of Star Trek that depicts the Kobayashi Maru simulation, I guess that makes me somewhat of an authority on the subject. I can confidently say it’s almost never used correctly by political figures as a metaphor… or it profoundly misses the point.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH This is the 1979 first solo story of The Falcon. 💥 Top 10 Comic Books will be released Sunday morning! 💥 Get ready for a thread, cause this comic changed EVERYTHING! The story was ok but the representation of black people, here, was insulting enough for someone to write in. 1/4 💫

About to finish up my second playthrough of Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West and Wow! Such a masterclass of gameplay and storytelling. There’s a lot of great games out there but this is no doubt my favorite. The wait for part three gets harder every day.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

Criminals!

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

Michael Fanone live on CNN: "This is what I'd say to Stewart Rhodes: Go fuck yourself"

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

On February 20th, 2021, my dearest friend in the world died of cervical cancer. Before she passed, she told me a story. Her father, a former minister, spoke often about her at church, and after her diagnosis, told the congregation to pray for her. 1/

i am super biased here because i am an academic and would like to continue to be one *but* i do feel there comes a point where you have to ask yourself what the point of ‘the economy’ is if it doesn’t support education or healthcare or the arts or housing or food or water and utilities
