Yeah but then you'll get 'Charlie Kirked'! Loose your job. Blocked at the border if you try to re-enter the country. Reported to ICE! Accused of being a fascist!

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

Careful there. I'd bet money that a majority of the men and women in that room voted for the people that are now their bosses. I feel no sympathy for these people. Same sentiment for the upper echelons of the FBI and Secret Service.

Jesus Christ!

I would normally be horrified about someone releasing a video to talk about being indicted but this is pretty disciplined.

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

The most accurate Charlie Kirk obituary yet... harles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

Let's not mince words... Charlie Kirk was a straight up, full on nazi. Anyone who is demanding that we mourn him, is a nazi apologist. The people who take it upon themselves to make sure we "stop saying nazi so often" are here to protect nazis, and are complicit in the whitewashing of Charlie Kirk.

Reconstructing long-range axons from dense brain images is tough.

This study introduces a novel method that separates axon identification from global statistical rules, showing big improvements over existing tools for mapping neuronal projections.

Authoritarianism might just bring DVDs back

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

She's not going anywhere unless she decides not to run. There was nothing wrong with Sara Gideon.

Sara Gideon was also fine. So was Jaime Harrison. So was Colin Allred. Same with Beto.

Ernst has been a shit candidate for multiple cycles but she's still here, deciding her fate, when the voters could have removed her years ago.

There was nothing wrong with Theresa Greenfield. We won't take this seat. Democrats still don't get it.

Cuomo needs to go away forever. Not sure this means anything other than only 'the one' can behave like an idiot and never pay a price for it.

In the darkness there was light!

Disaster averted!

🙃 And in a week we'll learn this letter was sent by mistake.

Unlike other countries in Europe in the first round of their elections?

Lol

Lol

Thank goodness other countries do not use a weighted electoral college scheme for determining the outcome of presidential elections!

In tonight's presidential elections in Romania, Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan advanced to the #2 position and will challenge far-right Simion in the 2nd round to be held on May 18.

It's still shocking that 40% of Romanian voters have voted for the far right, pro Trump, anti-EU candidate. 😱

May 18! 🤞🏻

SORRY, NERDS 5/4 1s DAVE BRUBECK DAY

US revokes Romania from visa waiver travel program The Trump administration said on Friday it is removing Romania from the U.S. visa waiver program allowing visa-free travel to the United States.

The timing of this decision amounts to clear interference in the Romanian elections. But I'm pretty sure it will backfire. www.reuters.com/world/us-rev...
