Resist. However, wherever, whenever, and through any medium and with any words you can think of. We're all in this together. The rules no longer apply.

RIP Jim Lovell Jr. My favorite astronaut. How strange to reflect back on a time in American history when the people we collectively looked up to, emulated, and hailed as patriots were a rag tag bunch of test pilots, space nerds, astrophysicists, and literal rocket scientists. Where did we go wrong?

The Psychological Secret to Longevity Your subjective sense of things going slowly, and then speeding up, is real. But you can also control it.

If you've often pondered the concept of time and its seemingly ever-increasing acceleration as we age, as I have, you will enjoy @arthurcbrooks.bsky.social 's latest piece.

It would be funny if it weren't deeply frightening.

Supreme Court Lets Trump Deport Eight Migrants to South Sudan

How do we explain to our children that just because the SCOTUS says something, it doesn't make it right? Talk about cruelty. We're sending people to dangerous third countries where they know no one, have never set foot, and may never leave. This is fucked.

WATCH NOW: 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' – The Full Film They Didn't Want You To See Exclusive: The powerful film the BBC refused to air is out now, released globally by Zeteo. It documents Israel's destruction of Gaza's hospitals and the killing of Palestinian doctors.

Netanyahu and the IDF are depraved, evil, inhuman, disgusting, genocidal war criminals. They are bombing hospitals and torturing and murdering doctors. They ripped a doctor's beard out with pliers. Ripped fingernails out of another. END ALL SUPPORT OF ISRAEL NOW.

And the fucked up part is these ICEholes are all dressed like frat boys on their way to a kegger. Nothing identifies them as law enforcement. Just a bunch of agro pieces of garbage kidnapping someone.

Whatever the opposite of "measure twice, cut once" is, Elon Musk and DOGE are it.

It'd be cute how stupid they are if it didn't affect millions of people's lives.

Think of all the times we've heard from members of the GOP that "Trump doesn't mean it" or "he was joking." Fuck them all for not banning this MFer from public office when they had the chance. I still blame Moscow Mitch McConnell. He's trying to whitewash his record these days. Don't let him.

Trump is trying to kill rural internet because the law that pays for it has 'equity' in the name The Digital Equity Act set aside $2.75 billion to expand internet access and close the digital divide. Trump thinks it's illegal DEI.

[Trump's] "preoccupation with ferreting out 'racial handouts' via clumsy CTRL+F search is now so all-consuming that he is trying to cut government spending that has nothing to do with race."
