I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

Really powerful, really illuminating thread. Clear, precise, devastating.

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

"It’s hard not to read these files and come to the conclusion that Epstein helped engineer the ultimate elite impunity — in which our society has been totally destroyed so the richest and most powerful men in the world can do whatever they want." — @lopatto.bsky.social

these are the same geniuses who spend all their time wondering when star trek got so political

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

NYT news headline announcing trump will pull 700 immigration agents out of Minnesota

to put this headline up without mentioning how many will be *left* does not seem particularly helpful (it’s *2,000*, according to the admin, to the extent we can trust that figure, which we can’t)

So fucking infuriating watching Bezos and his cronies kill the Post. Taking away sports, books, and international reporting so you can write opinions praising Trump is so damn bleak.

Republicans Love Supreme Court Expansion When It Gets Them What They Want When it comes to state supreme courts, Republican politicians have been happy to add (or subtract) justices as they see fit.

Pretty wild to me how many pundits and academics treated Republican opposition to the notion of Supreme Court expansion during the Biden administration as a serious, principled stance, as opposed to a position Republicans would obviously abandon the moment it became convenient

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

every week there's a new problem caused by trump that i thought was definitively solved in the 1880's

nothing remotely against any of the folks who have been working on the modern MST iterations! but it did make my heart twinge to hear those voices coming out of those puppets again

How the Supreme Court Secretly Made Itself Even More Secretive

i am very much of the view that undermining the court’s secrecy is a necessary part of remaking it into something like an actual court (and not some guardian council) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

it's just amazing how consistently every single Epstein email exchange is like

RICH AND/OR POWERFUL GUY: Can I score an invite to the sex island this weekend?
EPSTEIN: soun ds grat

i would start a dark money super PAC but the only issue it would lobby for would be a law to get pepsi declared "not ok"

this is just about the lightest and least-depressing series of thoughts i've had this week, thank you for your patience

i'm sorry but if you can't scout a location or build/stage it yourself maybe your scene just doesn't deserve to have an interesting background

not only do we have to wait 18 months to get 10-episode seasons of television, but we STILL have to put up with egregiously awful green-screened scenes. If anything there's more of it now than there was when it looked even more obvious and was used more sparingly

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

todays vibe

When we do any kind of translated work for the show there's this tension between "I want to experience the 'best' version available now" and "I want to experience the version that originally made it famous with audiences," for a two-hour movie tbh I might end up doing both if I can find both

OBVIOUSLY before we watch it we will consult the relevant experts on the best-regarded localization
