I had this on a poster in my college dorm.

Just the dumbest fucking people.

But Joe Biden couldn’t immediately recall a celebrity’s name and that was a problem.

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."

Emory University shooting live: Suspect dead and cop killed Police are reportedly working on the theory that the CDC was the suspect’s target, who ‘blamed his illness on the Covid-19 vaccine,’ according to an unconfirmed report

The police think that the man who killed a police officer at Emory University today was seeking revenge on the CDC. He had an unspecified illness that he believed was caused by the COVID19 vaccine.

Thanks to @jonsam1961b.bsky.social for the heads up.

Screenshot of a Twitter post from Gravantus @Gravantus Watching an old Twilight Zone episode where a man becomes obsessed with a devil machine coin fortune teller. The machine gives generic answers but he becomes paralyzed, unable to make a decision without consulting it. Anyway, some of these episodes are a bit farfetched. Attached are two images, one of ta devil coin fortune telling machine with a sign saying ot ask yes or no questions. The second image is a stock photo of a phone with the ChatGPT logo.

Can someone smarter than me connect these dots?

Just the dumbest, cruelest fucking people.

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history.

We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too.

And the US is throwing it away. For what?

Just the worst fucking people.

Americans love technology and absolutely hate science and that’ll always be fucking confusing to me

Almost 90% Of Americans Are Worried About The Cost Of Groceries The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

Wow. Who could’ve guessed the party that’s led to country to a recession every time they’ve been in charge in the last 40 years would lead the country to a recession again?

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

An 18-year-old U.S. citizen was violently detained by Border Patrol and told he had no rights here.

He happened to record the encounter, which captured immigration agents joking about using stun guns and getting bonuses.

It was always about cruelty. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Windmills are killing whales? Just the dumbest fucking person.

Ghislaine Maxwell convicted of federal sex trafficking charges for role in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses The jury weighed evidence from about 30 witnesses over 3 weeks who alleged the British socialite played a pivotal part in recruiting teenage girls for sex with Epstein.

Trump is laying the groundwork for a pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell, pretending that she's a reliable informant on Epstein and not his literal partner-in-crime, so it's probably worth recirculating the facts:

Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

Mike Johnson Admits He and His Son Monitor Each Other's Porn Intake in Resurfaced Video Speaker of the House Mike Johnson admitted that he and his son monitored each other’s porn intake in a resurfaced clip from 2022.

As Speaker Johnson has subverted the Constitutional duties of Congress (to check rogue Executive and Judicial branches) - now might be a good time for enterprising journalists to investigate whether he’’s still using “Covenant Eyes” with his son.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

What Will It Cost to Renovate the ‘Free’ Air Force One? Don’t Ask.

The President is taking approx $1B of taxpayer funds from a military project to refurbish a plane given to him by a foreign nation, which he plans on taking with him when he leaves office.

I’ve come to realize that the entire MAHA movement is just grown ass adults tricking themselves into thinking that junk food is healthy because a random dye was removed.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

Just the dumbest fucking person.
