Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."

I could have sworn "stolen valor" was a thing Turns out it was just something else Republicans never actually gave a shit about Draft-dodging PoS

AI that makes CSAM = business opportunities AI that claims slavery was bad = anti American propaganda Got it.

As Elon Musk defends nude deepfakes, the FTC is moving to censor AI models trained to recognize historical injustices.

It always amazes me that they don’t see that if their god acted as they claim, he would be the biggest villain in all of history

House Speaker Mike Johnson credits prayer for the passage of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill": "It was impossible. There was no way to reconcile everybody and get it all together and we came in here and prayed for a breakthrough and God delivered it."

Appointed U.S. senator Darline Graham is running away from her brother Lindsey Graham’s legacy as she runs for his seat. She wants to be known as the heir to Lindsey but the ideological servant of Donald Trump.

When President Trump sharply reduced the size of Bears Ears National Monument in Utah by more than 1.2 million acres, he claimed it was necessary because recreation was virtually impossible within the site’s boundaries. Documents reviewed by The New York Times show officials knew otherwise.

11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.

When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.

Two Deaths Linked to Cyclospora Outbreak in Michigan

The patients had “significant underlying health conditions” that may have contributed to their deaths, health officials said.

Trump Says He’s Replacing D.C.’s Grass With Grass From ‘A Friend Of Mine’ - HuffPo So… 3 weeks till it all dies, 7 weeks till we find out there is a job replacing it all for 8 times the original cost, 9 weeks till we charge a vet or child oncologist or something with being “the Antifa grass killer.

I don’t want to suggest that if you elect incompetent assholes you get a world run by incompetent assholes, but…

I really wish @lincolnproject.us or @meidastouch.com would create a simple but powerful ad ahead of the midterms juxtaposing clips from Mister Roger’s Neighborhood with clips from Trump. Imagine Fred saying “There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind... [1/4]

OK so don't get me wrong-- I very much appreciate our national teachers union getting all members the meditation app Calm, for free --BUT --if your profession screams OMG THESE PEOPLE NEED AN ANTI-ANXIETY APP BECAUSE THEIR JOBS ARE BONKERS .. then the problem cannot just be solved by "breathing"

I just read Sapolsky's book Determined and it kind of blew my mind. There's a biological argument for unconditional basic income to be made based on how our decisions depend on factors beyond our control. If free will is an illusion, then we should make sure to end poverty and reduce chronic stress.

Turtles All the Way Down: The Biological Case for Basic Income in a World Without Free Will

If our decisions are shaped by forces we never chose, then punishing people for those decisions and withholding the resources that would improve them is our true moral failure.

Max Miller is denying all the allegations against him and you can tell he's sincere because of the popped collar.

If there is a second pandemic, the US is going to be screwed. There is no plan other than to let it burn through the population while these jokers sell a healthy diet (i.e. all beef) and exercise as the cure. And maybe some unrelated drug that makes you poop yourself raw in a Walmart.
