*Marjorie Taylor Greene* being so sincerely anti-child sex abuse that she's willing to douse both her own political career and the president's in gasoline before tackling him into an open fire was actually not one I saw coming at all ngl

so it turns out qanon was like McCarthyism in that like 90% of the country was spying for the Russians and they somehow managed to accuse the other 10%

A digital illustration of a star going supernova, surrounded by a gaseous disc in orange and red tones. The star is seen exploding in an olive shape, directed above and below the star.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Also, the older I get, the more I realize it's *SO* important as adults to have space just to play.

This is how children learn, and how adult animals stay healthy. Humans seem to reject it

Play is how we stay curious, practice resilience, and reject performance, perfection, and expectation.

Analysis | Yes, Democrats won last Tuesday's elections by double digits. However, they did not win them by triple digits. The time had come to cave to Trump.

The guy who said we’d already be in mars by now and that a hyper tunnel would already be connecting LA to Vegas and that humanoid robots are going to eliminate poverty thinks the new mayor of New York is the swindler?

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Moodscrolling

We don't have a word for it but I'm currently doing the opposite of doomscrolling. Good job, US.

Who is wise? One who learns from all people.

Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

We need to fully fund SNAP now. Not after more political games. Not after millions of Americans face the terrifying prospect of hunger without end.

That IS fascinating. When I read it I was too busy scrutinizing the bunny rabbit tattoos for easter egg (no pun intended!!) jokes. Like, were their increasing numbers Fibonacci?

SNAP day of action

Today is the #SNAPDayOfAction, and we need you to join us and act now.

42 million Americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on Nov 1st. USDA has a contingency fund but hasn't released it. Contact your Members of Congress today!

The Trump Administration’s Latest Power Play: Starving Americans to Secure Democrats' Submission The Trump administration is playing politics with people’s basic needs by claiming there is no funding for November SNAP benefits.

The time has come on this #SNAPDayofAction to stop playing politics with people’s lives and futures.

Those in the majority in Congress and in the White House must step up and do their jobs regardless of politics.

Read MAZON President and CEO Abby Leibman's full op-ed in @msmagazine.com:

When Hillary claimed, decades ago, her husband was the victim of a "vast right-wing conspiracy", that included the Mellon-Scaifs. Now the next generation vast right-wing conspiracy is straight up owning the government.

First, billionaires passed legislation to enrich themselves.

Then they shut down the government to avoid helping working Americans afford health care—a system billionaires profit from.

Now, they’re trying to use the shutdown to gut programs millions of families depend on. trib.al/pUkHFwh

Also, he is imposing a tax without our consent (which was enough for our forefathers to start a revolution) because an ad made him mad. It's mad king stuff.

the way Trump and his administration keep going on livestreams and tv to laugh about this, I can’t really compare it to anything political that comes to mind, only thing that comes to mind rn is a serial killer who writes letter taunting family of their victim.

Correlation is not causation ... but.

It's not lost on me that crime has declined as this country has gotten more diverse.

But the folks in charge think this country - especially it's very diverse cities - are a violent hellscape and want to revert back to when this country was more violent

Not to brag but I got a full 8 hours of over-thinking
