We have the ability to do better than what we did last year. Last decade. Last century. We can be better humans than we were last week, last month, last year. We can be a better country if we seek to improve ourselves without destroying or stealing from others. We can be better than we are.

Fact....

Here's the thing. Trump spends $3m missiles to kill a $30k drone. Blames Biden for not making enough $3m missiles instead of saying "let's make some $25k drones" This is why we are broke.

Trump endorsed both Ashley Moody and James Uthmeier in advance of the August 18 primary yesterday. Both are implicated in the suspected theft of $10M in Medicaid payments to use for political purposes--basically what Trump is trying to frame Tim Walz for. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Go figure, the shitty Republican masquerading as a Democrat who failed to challenge Tlaib lost so hard the count got called before 8pm pst

"Explosive diarrhea caused by parasites isn't so bad, it helps you lose weight" insists heroin-addicted roadkill barbecuing brain-wormed child of a former politician insisting vaccines cause autism and that nicotine pouches don't cause cancer

I still use the NYTimes to get recipes that I might want to try. But every so often the NYTimes does shit that makes me wonder if I can't just get the same recipe from some idiot mommybloggers who insist on 4k words of "OMG YOU GUYS THIS IS THE BEST [insert thing here]" before the damn recipe

I firmly believe that corruption and evil changes the way you are perceived by others, and even accepting a little corruption and evil as a "it's how things get done" change you. I'm not going to say look at the pics and see who isn't corrupt. Because that isn't always true. But. Gollum?

If El-Sayed wins the Michigan primary today it’s gonna rock the whole country and I’m so here for it. He’s in the lead. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Gaza is a genocide. Full stop. There were approximately 5.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza before Israel began its latest genocide attack again its own citizens and Gaza. 120,000 Palestinians were killed directly by Israeli forces since the war began & millions more displaced.

Data Centers consume massive amounts of power and water, and pollute the surrounding environment with 24x7 noise, light and wastewater. They don't produce jobs, they don't give back to the community in any way, they're resource parasites that don't benefit you or I one bit.

I am 100% sure Elon Musk used some of his trillion dollar fortune to create and maintain social media trollfarms before he took over Xitter for one reason: He wanted to manipulate social media in his favor. Then he took over Xitter and did just that, and now runs the world's biggest troll/botfarms

I'm seeing a bunch of random - and I truly mean random - accounts pop up on local social media sites like Nextdoor insisting we turn Flock and CCTV cameras on in response to a shooting in Seattle. Which begs the question: Palantir and Flock have access to Elon Musk and his trollfarms, yes?

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

I want a Big Mac that actually looks and tastes like the Big Mac I had when I was 8 for the first time Huge, because I was 8, and not, for example, the burger that costs $9 and consists mostly of explosive diarrhea parasite lettuce

It's going to get painful watching the last generation of Boomer Democrat politicians eke out their legacy as appeasers whining that the new generation has no respect for their opinions and the course they set And they're right. The next generation saw how they fucked up. No respect for shit work.

I have a modest suggestion to solve conflict in American politics and it involves revisiting France circa 1782

This is double the fun because apparently nobody mentioned the porn name thing to her either

Apparently, on Christian album covers in the ’60s, the only thing worse than the hair was the obliviousness to the lewd double entendres.

Hey Donnie

So, just a reminder: Anthony Fauci's personal work diary got leaked before the Epstein files were released

I miss my enormous doofus maximus every day and videos like this one where I'm simultaneously laughing and crying are not helpful but damn youtu.be/GjqtwNUE148?...

The best part about watching Rashida Talib's primary is watching the Republican-funded spoiler opponent nobody trusts flail around pretending to not be paid by GOP operations and as a "wholly authentic candidate" who only decided to run *checks notes* two weeks ago

Find yourself a human that looks at you the same way a woman over 25 looks at a cute summer dress that has actual usable pockets

If it's wrong to pee yourself laughing as your next door neighbor screams "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY POT PLANTS JIMOTHY" in his underwear chasing a raccoon down the street I don't want to be right

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

"The Trump administration admitted that it terminated nearly 300 federal research grants 'solely because' the projects were connected to states that voted against Donald Trump in 2024 and had two Democratic senators in office, according to court filings." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Trump administration concedes it canceled research grants in blue states

The administration said 284 research grants were canceled because they were in states that voted against Donald Trump in 2024.

I got a vaccination shots today. Three different ones, same arm. My wife is sick, I've cleaned up cat vomit four times, and the coffee mug that had just the right shape broke I also am in the path of forest fire smoke. I am not up for pretentious uninformed bullshit tonight. Just saying.

Had a very, very short conversation today with someone who did a "if you block me, you admit I'm right" in his profile. It was short because I added him to my block lists, then blocked every single one of his followers. He didn't win. Because I don't need to play his bullshit fucking game

The world of CRISPR is bursting open! Another application for CRISPR- To target mutated proteins that were previously deemed "undruggable" or difficult to target. This has been applied to treat HPV driven head & neck cancers. The goal is to take this to a clinical trial. 🧪 archive.today/n4QAc

Bizarre CRISPR enzyme kills cancer cells by shredding their DNA

Early tests suggest the protein can be aimed at targets with tumour-causing mutations.

Guys, if i am ever hired as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company do you know how many interviews about subjects that aren't about my company I plan on doing? zero. none. fuckall. nada. because I should be running my fucking company not preening and pretending people need to hear what I have to say

I thought some folks might need help with the way Trump makes decisions about who to fire and who not to fire. In general, I think we can assume "has a vagina" is pretty much the deciding factor but here's the rest of the flowchart anyway
