Trying to see how many different voids I can shout into. Mostly goofy tweets, sometimes sports (Atlanta Braves, Carolina Panthers, US Soccer, Carolina Hurricanes, JMU Dukes), sometimes political.

Brutal.

We put an antivaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health. This is just one of many awful things to come.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater.

So glad they put the guy rolling over as the senior Dem on oversight instead of AOC. Juuuust great.

That kid is going to NC State to spite everyone.

This is what the world thinks about us.

The Secretary of Defense goes on tv to explain he is preparing to have the military break the law.

I haven't deleted my Twitter account, but I haven't posted there since November, and I've only opened it a few times since then. And the times I opened it were just to review who I was following there to see if they were here now. Bluesky has completely taken the lead of my social media usage.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

This is the actual Next Big Thing. I've been seeing patents for theoretical quantum computing for years, but making it easily accessible will be the big leap that changes everything.

First it was Reagan ripping out the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed at the White House. Now this.

For no particular reason, what the Commonwealth of Virginia thinks about kings.

These are really good.

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

2005: Man, Revenge of the Sith is so over the top. None of this is plausible. The chancellor taking over the senate and courts, and sending out his apprentice to deal with individual departments. The senate cheering the usurpation of their powers? So ridiculous. 2025: Fuck.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Yeah, but didn't JD Vance also say that the violent January 6ers shouldn't be released like two days before Tr*mp released them? He has no leverage in this situation, if Tr*mp and Hegseth are gonna capitulate to Russia, JD can't, and won't, do shit.

Ah yes, but we're supposed to trust they're going to act responsibly with our data.

"Mandatory death penalty" from the "pro-life party."

From reddit: a letter from a postdoc who survived the Bolsonaro years. This is helpful framing for how to science in this administration. 🧪 www.reddit.com/r/labrats/s/...

If the kid is reading, who cares how much of something they read? This is needless gatekeeping that will push them away from reading because they're gonna get bogged down on a "nutritious" book and stop. I didn't truly fall in love with reading until I started the "dessert" Star Wars books.

I would not hate it if Carolina brought in Haason Reddick again. He was great for us the one season he was here.

"That is why Elon’s commission looks, sounds, and smells like a sham. Because thus far, the biggest beneficiaries aren’t working class Americans, but rather Elon Musk himself. You don’t get credit for rooting out abuse if your execution raises more questions than it answers."

The myth of America is gone for good now that the entire world has witnessed the fragility of their democracy, their unbridled oligarchy, their untrustworthiness as an ally, and their lack of any meaningful resistance to tyranny and fascism.

If most of America didn't hate the Chiefs right now we'd all be complaining how bad this game is

"Patrick Mahomes, what's he got lef--" *CAR CRASH NOISES*

Hahahahahahahahahahaha okay so I do care a little bit, burn the Chiefs down.

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

The crowd when he finally gave em Not Like Us

The theme of this year's Super Bowl commercials so far is... body horror.

Oh man, I laughed. Sorry Jake.

Me watching Pat Mahomes throw picks.

After ANOTHER controversial call goes their way the very first drive of the game, it feels like a good time to remind everyone why people hate the Chiefs. www.sbnation.com/nfl/2025/2/8...

The fix is in.

What the hell is this scorebug? It looks like a placeholder.

Super Bowl USAID Save Foreign Aid

Given everything going on in the US, the Super Bowl is pretty inconsequential. I don't really care about the teams. I'm over the Chiefs. And Philly fans are a, uh, thing. But go Birds in so much as I care at all.

Wired is scooping the hell out of everyone in legacy media.

maga is literally a resegregation movement

It is you vs oligarchs, if you continue fighting among yourselves based on which group voted or didn’t vote, or generalizing entire voting blocs by race, sex or age then you don’t stand a chance against oligarchy. Choose who you are fighting and decide which battles are going to win the war. #3E

White people. This starts & ends with white people. Every GOP president is worse than the one who came before & they continue to vote for them. 70% of men, 50-55% of women every four years. This is what they want.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
