NIH scientists say that mRNA vaccines have saved untold thousands of lives. A heroin addled nepo baby whose brain was partially eaten by a worm says mRNA vaccines are worthless and even dangerous. For busy medical patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.

They are messaging on it, but they don’t have an ecosystem of friendly pundits and influencers to disseminate their messaging like the right does. No one gets engagement by reposting what Patty Murray says, so people don’t.

an accurate description of donald trump's character is per se libel. an accurate description of his policies is a call for revolution. one of his great superpowers is that he generates self-censoring facts.

β€œtrimaran stealth guided missile destroyer” was such a great concept that I don’t think holds up at any level of functionality

naming a super carrier after Hillary but also reminding the reader every time the name was mentioned that she got assassinated in this timeline is the sort of brainworm writing tic that lets you date those books like rings on a tree

Tired of people assuming that just because I disappeared in a puff of smoke this implies something nefarious. Maybe that's just how I normally disappear

This is a disgrace - the United States spitting on its own soldiers because they come from a minority the ruling clique holds in contempt. The people who made this decision have a special circle of hell waiting for them; liberals should fight to the bitter end to give these soldiers their due.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

The Army should be absorbed into the Navy because land is just dry water if you think about it.
