Mike the Mad Biologist and Tsar of All the Antifas

I've always been a skeptic on his dementia (I think most of his issues go back to early childhood) but this is pretty interesting.

This lady was the Steve Jobs of the Online Death Threat Industry for like 10 years. Not to be a dick, but fucking spare me.

again, it is just arrogance. “there is one true meaning of the constitution and it can only be derived by a special caste of lawyers with a special interpretative lens and once discovered it is binding.”

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it

Oh goody, we’ve reached my least favorite part of the holidays: people just announcing they’ll be bringing their toddler to wildly toddler-inappropriate events and daring everyone else to be the “bad guy” who says they shouldn’t.

Sounds good to me

ABC will invite this guy back on the air again to insult the host and lie to the audience. It's kabuki theater.

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows

5. FWIW, that's also why, if the pro-Constitutional Democracy factions of the U.S. political order ever get the trifecta, they can't wait to pass their reforms. They can't spend time hashing them out in committee. They need prêt à passer legislation.

D.C.'s best holiday gift: Experiences from local businesses The best present is … the promise of future presents, especially when they celebrate our city.

Our holiday gift guide this year focuses on local experiences over physical presents.

I get that online is not a perfect substitute for real life, and the former can harm the latter, but i have no idea how loneliness is more of an issue now than it was for 1992 suburban young adults who didn't have online (shutup nerds who did)

While I often note that Trump's narcissism can be adaptive (e.g., shameless lying), the above is clearly a case where Trump's narcissism is *mal*adaptive.

⬇️ It clearly was a bribe with the goal of getting Cuellar to take some dives (e.g., oppose an impeachment vote/Epstein release vote/policy votes), but, having drawn attention to the bribe, Cuellar is far less likely to do so. mikethemadbiologist.com/2025/12/04/p...

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

the misuse of the word "empathy" makes me angrier than using "gifted" as a verb.

I refuse to hand it to Cuellar but this is hysterical

is there no honor among comically corrupt politicians? what is the world coming to?!

"God was very happy with me that day!" lmfao

the best part is that he is actually genuinely really mad about this, because Cuellar has broken the golden rule of Trump deals: he gets to stiff you, you don’t get to stiff him

It is legitimately funny that Trump expected to be picking up another Republican seat in Texas in exchange for a pardon, and Cuellar was just like "nah."
So rare to see someone treat Trump like he treats everyone else.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.”

She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

“Not getting respect for my bad science from my peers on Twitter” is one of the stupidest villain origin stories of all time, but it’s the primary motivation for almost all of these weird losers.

‘Mouthpieces for Trump’: inside the rightwing takeover of the Pentagon press corps Pentagon press passes once held by credentialed journalists are now in the hands of rightwing pundits and Trump allies

You thought these guys were opposed to the existence of a "deep state"? No, they just want to be it.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

You gotta take these powerful people seriously in the sense they command so much ability and sadly allowance to perpetrate evil as policy and culture, but also u gotta remember that many of them are begging to be laughed at in polite company

Fascinating inside baseball kind of tidbit that may only interest me: just saw an ad for Novavax COVID vaccine that cited its lower side effect profile. First time I’ve ever seen that a manufacturer has attempted/been allowed to promote fewer side effects as a benefit for a vaccine
