I cannot think of anyone I would prefer to be dietary adviser to the president.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 21h agoOh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Blanche is unusual in that he is being promoted precisely because he is corrupt. Normally the test is merely blind loyalty and willingness to push the Big Lie.
To be fair, he doesn't mean borreliosis. He means “chronic Lyme disease”, which was 100% made up by pseudoscientists, who he thinks are the real scientists.
Karly Kingsley@karlykingsley.bsky.social · 23h agoRFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

Of course, Kennedy was hired specifically because of his anti-competence.
Michelle@michelleroy78.bsky.social · 3d agoIf I was this stupid and incompetent, I would be out of a job... just saying.
The Venn diagram of "this shit" and "things I am done with" is a perfect circle.
Oh no! Poor Dr. Fauci! Forcibly retired from Federal service aged (checks notes) 85. Still, good to see the GOP looking at the big issues instead of trivia like PUBLISHING THE EPSTEIN FILES YOU PEDOPHILE PROTECTING FUCKERS.
I was thinking for a moment there should be a drinking game where everyone downs a shot when the United States Attorney's office for the District of Columbia has to drop a frivolous indictment but then I realized only the United States Attorney herself could survive that game
The desperation of the GOP to pass this, is evidence in itself that the bill is designed to create partisanm advantage.
The Watchdog Coalition@thewatchdogco.bsky.social · 4d agoThey keep trying to revive the SAVE act. Stay loud and tell Congress to kill it for good. We made it easy for you to do just that. 👇👇👇
This kind of revisionism is straight out of the antivax playbook: assume that all harms related to an intervention are inherent to and caused by the intervention, while discounting all benefits.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBASH: You have been placing nearly all the blame for how the US handled covid on Dr Fauci. But he worked for President Trump. Does Trump also deserve some of the blame? RFK Jr: Well, President Trump wanted to end the lockdowns. Lockdowns did the most damage
Hey, YouTube! I have a BRILLIANT idea for a new feature! When you don't want to see a video (e.g. because you already watched it), there should be a way of telling the algorithm that you don't want to see it again. You could put it in place of the current "Not interested", which does nothing.
Clacton is an overwhelmingly white town with massive structural under-employment and a pressing need for public funding. You can completely see why a hedge fund millionaire with no policies other than hating brown people and cutting tax for the rich, would be their natural choice.
In fact, modelling on contact and case data estimated that if schools had remained open during the final Jan-March 2021 lockdown, it would barely have brought R below 1. I've already written about that devastating wave in which 87,000 people died. 7/12 christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-uk-cov...
The UK Covid Inquiry has laid bare the avoidable horror of the second Covid wave
It is becoming ever clearer both how devastating the second wave of winter 2020/21 was, and how much of that devastation could have been avoided.

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because they or their parents died of COVID. Let’s address that too, shall we?

I think we have three days before Mitch dying can't trigger an election, but instead will have his successor appointed by Republicans, who stole that power from the governor as soon as a Democrat was elected. Anyone got this on the gambling apps?

The Devil@iamdevil.bsky.social · 4d agoOf course it’s breaking the law! But as a joke of a country that can’t even prosecute a blatant coup, I have no doubt this will continue unchecked.
The big unaddressed issues right now, IMO, are: - Concentration of wealth - Concentration of ownership - Everyday necessities becoming investment vehicles - Abuse of organized religion to boost the rich Tax the rich. Tax the churches. Reinstate "for the people" to the aims of government.
It was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.
RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Remember when searching for "how to reset TPMS in Gen 2 Nissan Leaf" would take you to a forum post with precise instructions, and not a hundred ten-minute video tutorials full of ads, or long pages telling you how easy it is before referencing a button that doesn't exist?
No, thanks all the same, I do not want to have to scroll through eleventy pages telling me how easy it is to do X before I get to the description of how to do X. #Enshittification

It would be funny if everyone ditched Dominion citing the lies and conspiracy theories as justification, causing "Liberty Vopting" to go bust.
Dinsdale Piranha@heptaglemious.bsky.social · 3d agoDominion Voting Systems did not do anything to change the 2020 election. They won every case against those who accused them of doing so. In 2028, you can bet your life they will be putting their thumb on the scale, because now they are owned by a Trumpist. abcnews.com/US/dominion-...

Hanging flags on lamp posts is illegal, and always was. But there's no way Suella could know that, given her experience as a lawyer and former Home Secretary. It's also illegal to harass, intimidate, and doxx council employees who remove them. Even if you're a nonce. www.bbc.com/news/article...
