It's sad cause the attack on learning and facts knows no bounds. If it interrupts narrative it's useless.

That's sad

As I was reminded almost daily during the pandemic, most Americans are ignorant when it comes to statistics.

Firing one of the country's top statistician because you didn't like the numbers fits with my mental model of Americans more than I would like to admit.

This might be my favorite tiktok of all time. I'm going to watch this 100 times.

Don't embarrass the mystics, they have a huge following and are necessary for the coalition.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Remember when there were seasons for fruit? You don't get strawberries in February.

What's it like to have Frank Lloyd Wright design your house? This 101-year-old knows

The lesson? Never talk to the cops. Even if your attorney tells you to. Never.

Occam's razor couldn't imagine how simple the answers needed to be for this stupid administration.

Can't stop spending? Actually feels dumber. Like can't understand why I can't do whatever I want narcissism. It's the kid that eats too much candy on Halloween, or stick a fork in a light socket dumb, or tying fire crackers to pets tails.

I only have one opinion on trans people. The ones spreading fear about them are the same ones that were telling me about gay people growing up. And everything they said back then was wrong too.

Why should I trust anything they have to say now?

That's the most DocRiverish team I've ever seen.
