If I had a shitload of money and wished to hasten the arrival of the Kingdom of God I would simply follow the clearly labeled instructions by housing immigrants, freeing prisoners, and so forth

This book is incredible. Read it. Arthurian subversion grappling with fascism, fate, and love.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Has Mike Johnson ever considered holding his daily presser an hour later to give him time to read a paper?

Vaccine subterfuge: How vaccine-makers fooled the Nazis from inside a concentration camp lab Confined first at Auschwitz then Buchenwald, a Jewish microbiologist conspired with a ragtag team of scientists and rebels to send dud typhus vaccines to the German soldiers on the eastern front.

Gonna talk in entomology class today about how Jewish scientists forced to work in Nazi concentration camps secretly sent fake vaccines to the eastern front and managed to kill 4,000 Nazis with typhus.

Ignorant antisemites: “Why didn’t Jews fight back against Hitler”.

Jews:

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

They’re bad people but they are also the weirdest fucking people in the world.

At some point, businesses may tire of getting extorted for billions by losers like Paxton whom no one alive will miss and decide on a more efficient solution.

A judge slammed Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem over ‘troubling’ remarks about Kilmar Abrego Garcia U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw ordered the administration to warn every DOJ and DHS employee against improper statements regarding Abrego, who’s facing smuggling charges.

NEW: A federal judge slammed DHS Secretary Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi for publicly attacking Kilmar Abrego Garcia in “exaggerated” and “inaccurate” ways — violating rules meant to protect the integrity of criminal proceedings.

Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

Frankly, it's funnier to pretend to know what IQ is, claim to value it, and then brag about your score on a basic cognitive assessment as if it's an IQ test.

Sorry I can't get over this but it's just so funny to say "The test starts off with giraffes and elephants but the questions get way harder than that"

One of history’s biggest fighters had a beard, Pete. His name? Jesus.

As @gelliottmorris.com notes, the welcomePAC report on Dems shows that the least popular parts of the Dem agenda are things not on the Dem agenda, while the least popular parts of the GOP agenda are things Trump has done this year. open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

Ken Paxton is a dumbass

Breaking News 34m ago Texas sued the makers of Tylenol, alleging the companies hid the drug's links to autism following unproven claims by President Trump.

why is everything so dumb

Biden 2020 won but he won by very explicitly incorporating the left into the coalition and they (centrists) spent the next four years trying to sabotage that, including trying to will a 2022 red wave into being

One thing to remember about this is that these are both about the same right. It's autonomy over our own bodies, it's autonomy to get medical care. It's autonomy to live our lives according to our own needs and not the expectations of others.

How Honeycrisp Apples Went From Marvel to Mediocre An investigation into the Honeycrisp apple and how a complex string of events led to a decline in the quality of a beloved apple variety.

was wondering why all the honeycrisps we bought the past two years, even from the fancy local grocer, were mushy, mealy messes and i guess this is a legitimate thing, unfortunately

There's a particular kind of doomer on here who's like "and then SCOTUS will install him as president for a third term, and the military will back him up" as if that's the end of history.

Friend, there's still an "and then" after that.

World Central Kitchen | First Alert: WCK Relief Team Serving Meals to Federal Workers During Government Shutdown World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is serving hot meals to furloughed federal workers in Washington, D.C., as the U.S. government shutdown nears its fourth week.

Pretty remarkable that World Central Kitchen, known for its humanitarian relief efforts around the world, is setting up aid centers for furloughed federal workers in DC

West was also manager for the radar altimetry data processing project for Seasat, the first satellite designed to collect oceanographic data. #geodesy ⚒️🧪

“we use urine, saliva &…blood drawn from our veins to test for a range of med conditions.[An] FDA-approved…test allows ppl to collect their own feces[for cancer screening ]…why not also a fluid that 1/2 the world’s pop produces monthly for a long stretch of their lives?”🧪🛟

Bc nope icky period blood

Know what's wild? Al Gore is 77 years old. The man lost an election 25 years ago because SCOTUS decided that votes didn't matter, giving the election to Bush, and instead of running again in 2004, or 2008 or 2016, he...didn't.

But also fun how Republican SCOTUS 25yrs ago set ~all this~ in motion.

One of my niche ethical stances is that I think that people should use Wikipedia and donate to the Wikimedia Foundation and that ChatGPT and its siblings are trash and so are the people who use them.

"Costumes optional" means that costumes are permitted.

Counsel has a chance to do something legendary is what I am saying.

ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)
