I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵
Hegseth: We are banning reporters from the Pentagon. Washpost: We have exclusive photos of the historic Dwight Eisenhower globe that was damaged in Hegseth's zeal to move it out of storage and into his office. Gift link ⤵️ wapo.st/3WF2YQo
Google Assistant keeps playing the remixed version of anything I request on Spotify, which is worse than not playing the song at all
Blasts resounded over Riyadh again on Monday, following lethal strikes on Riyadh's airport at the weekend. Saudi coalition says it intercepted a Houthi missile. Houthis warn US of a "painful response" if it enters the conflict u.afp.com/SCfZCC 📽️ Footage of Oct 10 strike on Riyadh airport
No, bombing Yandex has not impacted automated Russian trolling operations in the U.S.

It's all a setup to blame Ukraine 🇺🇦 for high diesel prices in the US. Russia 🇷🇺 can't provide diesel for it's own market. We aren't getting any diesel.
I am not surprised one bit they will livestream a person getting executed. Reminds me about these people bringing kids to see Black people being lynched. Nasty ass people glorifying killing folks.
I was just sent this paper, "Theorizing the rise of internet food cults", and this section could have the names and communities replaced by those from the MH17 or Syria chemical weapon truther community and it would still be 100% valid. Same dynamics every time. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right
Treat all laser pointers as if they could blind whoever they're pointed out, until they've been properly measured by someone trained to do so. They can be so so so much more dangerous than people think.
RBADVISERS: “.. Yet another inflation impulse. The US basically has NO STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE (SPR) anymore.”
She's like one ad away from pulling her eyes back with her fingers and doing a mocking accent. This is just absolute gutter racism.
Marsha Blackburn's new ad is so racist that it makes me wonder if mainstream Republicans could have gotten away with something like this back in the 1980s or 90s.
Nineteen russian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Shahed drones are raining down on Kyiv right now. This is horrific. The UNESCO-listed Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra has been targeted. A thousand years of Ukrainian history, faith, and culture are once again under attempted destruction.

Farmers in northern Vietnam are dismantling a decades-old cemetery to make way for a $1.5bn golf course and luxury residential development by the Trump Organization and its local partners, a project seen as crucial for ties between Hanoi and Washington. ft.trib.al/YCZl74S
A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...
I use Apple Pages for all of my grant and manuscript writing because it is like a combination word processing app and page layout app all in one, that manages to let you handle images without all this nonsense exemplified in just a few seconds in this absolutely magnificent TikTok.
Since I'm writing grants, I'm going to reiterate I hate microsoft word and google docs with the heat of a 1000 suns. This is completely accurate
Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.
