RFK Jr. cuts $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts, dealing major blow to promising area of research The cuts add to mounting evidence that Kennedy is pursuing an aggressive anti-vaccine agenda.

We need a word for someone who is beyond perverse, sadistic, sociopathic. Blocking mRNA vaccine research means that you or someone you love will die of something you could have avoided or survived. He is intentionally killing people.

I never get tired of reminding people that famous celebrity Donald Trump's very first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Department sued him and his father for refusing to rent to black families.

Transphobia is infuriating AND self-defeating. If you're AFAB, you're going to go through menopause...HRT has been a lifesaver for me. It may even stave off dementia!

If HRT is banned for trans folks, think it'll be easy for us cis folk to access it?

A little solidarity just might save YOUR life.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

the Mariners are Lucy, holding the football (play-off hopes), and every single year I take off running (great first few months), and get there (summer optimism), and you'll never believe what happens next

Hell’s Museum in Singapore is by far the most bizarre I’ve been to. You learn about death and methods of remains disposal across different cultures and religions and then walk through a big room showcasing the 10 Courts of Hell via dioramas

It's really funny learning Trump has had exactly one friend in his whole life. And even funnier to learn who it was.

"mental gymnastics" meme comparing the simple argument that Trump won't release the Epstein files because they implicate him as a pedo versus the extreme cope of MAGA

@cantwell.senate.gov should be primaried for this

If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

“the party being led by jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly examine your childs genitals” is a true statement

trying to get American voters to remember that every time they elect a Republican everything immediately gets fucked up and they hate them feels like the part in memento where guy Pearce is frantically trying to write himself a note but carrie-anne moss stole all of his pens

it's fitting then that MAGA chuds have embraced AI slop; they seem to recognize that the world they want does not exist and cannot exist and so they make do with these virtual facsimiles.

Irish applicants for US education visas must make social media profiles public, embassy says ‘A US visa is a privilege, not a right’ and process seeks to exclude those who ‘pose a threat’ to national security, statement adds

Irish applicants for US education visas must make social media profiles public, embassy says

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

these are our brothers and we should be building a better world together

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.

Sort of like how Los Angeles was the only city to ever really pull off the Olympics, I feel like we’re uniquely suited as a city to host Siege Week. Keep sending troops! The place will still be ungovernable.

Los Angeles specifically is the realest America, imo.

I am getting tired of saying this but I keep sporadically hearing from people things like your life has no substantively changed since trump retook power, bitch yes it has I have a conscience and I wake up mad every day fuck You lol.

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

Proudly so.

Baby bird *finishes hatching* Sorry… am I in a bowl of sticks? Am I in a fucking bowl of sticks a thousand feet off the ground right now, yes or no

I think there's a kind of desperate hope built into poetry that one really wants, hopelessly, to save the world. One is trying to say everything that can be said for the things that one loves while there's still time.—W. S. Merwin

seriously still #shook over the #Andor finale. just totally walloped by it. cannot stop thinking about it.

Black cat with white back legs and partially white face lies on green grass on lawn that is not his lawn.

So annoying when neighbors encroach on your property
