I also obsessed over The Wall for a few months, although earlier — I think I was 15 — so sympathize. I’ve also met a lot of unusually cruel and antisocial people who graduated from Harvard.

This was the end goal of crypto aligning behind Trump - the crypto economy has very few actual dollars in it and relies on finding new people to hold the bag to get their dollars. The US government is the ultimate bag holder and they’re going to use your tax dollars to bail out crypto owners.

The backbone of our research infrastructure has been purposely sabotaged, all our futures are at risk. I want you to ask your legislators why this act of terrorism has not been addressed. Doge blew up our research pipeline and Musk must face justice for intentional acts of sabotage and terror. 🧪

If we’re making lists, I think that the five bullets in CDC’s Pledge to the American People are an excellent place to start. I have been at the agency for almost 20 years, and have met very few people in public health service who don’t strive for and embody these ideals www.cdc.gov/about/pledge...

I’ve suffered from a rare disease that’s changed and challenged my life in ways I’d never wish on anyone, but I’ve learned more about myself and how to live life with grace. I’m still fighting and the only thing that keeps me going is hope. On the darkest of days it’s been my anchor. #rarediseaseday

“It’s almost as if tech leaders took the wrong lessons from the film. Perhaps that’s because, in hindsight, Samantha can feel more like a technological marvel than a catalyst for human isolation.”

It's near impossible to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" in the U.S., which is a bullshit saying to make people feel bad for being unable to overcome ridiculous odds.

When I was talking a lot about getting prepared for FEMA cuts and trade war, someone told me apologetically needed to mute me because it was stressful hearing about preparation they couldn't afford to do. That's a huge stress right now for ALL of us, I think-- there is no getting fully prepared.
