All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

we like a weather alert!

tornado siren tests of Minnesota 🙃

🚨awooooo🚨

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

more trash projection

What is the farthest north and south you have ever been?

Offit told me that Kennedy is a "liar" and a "terrible human being." I asked him to explain. "It doesn't matter what I say," Offit said. "He thinks the medical journals are in the pocket of the industry, he thinks that the government is in the pocket of the industry, he thinks I'm in the pocket of industry, and he's wrong." Offit continued: "If he has data showing he's right, then fucking publish it. He can't, because he doesn't have those data." I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public's rising distrust in science. "I don't think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost," he said.

it's my favorite long weekend programming feature 😄

Minnesota content: Vikings on the TV (on mute), The Current’s Time Machine weekend on the radio (it’s 1985 now)

Pisces: Your extensive Super Mario experience may finally come in handy as you encounter a hammer-throwing turtle.

I want to stress here for journalists covering Kennedy and his goons that this war on public health is driven by big money.

The wellness industry is a massive, massive grift.

you let your adorable new friend enjoy their nice shed nest, of course!

that was odd

can you imagine sitting in a room while a 79 year old sexist pig roasts your female colleague and you say exactly jack shit about it

unreal

petty ridiculous shit, right here. I'm sorry you're the target

I love the whole "I don't have kids in school anymore, I shouldn't have to pay taxes that go to the public school" argument from people.

It's the classic "I got mine, fuck you."

I have no kids.

I never want kids.

Take more of my tax money and put it towards schools and not cops.

Thank you.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

unfortunately, this is the case

absolute trash

obscene

I predict that "Five Year Plan" will be better than whatever they pay $15M+ for

They should have consulted you!

they have moved on to slogans that feature the letter E

can't wait to see what F brings...

I am sticking with being low-to-the ground and ordinary, path of least resistance and all 🙃

I think people should not forget who helped push for a ban on their weed drinks

red aurora takes up most of the sky, with some green glow to the right. behind the red cloud, you can see the constellation Orion. there is a tree to the left and power lines running across the scene

When I was around 7-9 years old, I used to drag my dad outside to stargaze on cold, clear nights. Spotting Orion was always a treat, but we never saw it like this from my driveway in Michigan 💖

whoa! that's very purple!!
