Figure I'll miss #CNN when my Hulu+ subscription expires, but watching it here lately, I am continuously pissed off - at the programming choices (2:1 talking heads are GOP) and the feckless performances of Dems when they ARE permitted to speak. These Bondi hearings are a sick joke! 😡 #Hulu

I read the book and it is very different from the Game of Thrones series. Funny at times if I recall correctly, and I enjoyed it.

In lawsuit, American Federation of Govt Employees, which represents 100,000s of federal government employees, has asked a judge to order the US Education Dept to stop sending politically-laced employee “out-of-office” messages from furloughed agency workers

A ‘Broken’ Trust: F.B.I. Agents Fired by Patel Speak Out

This is a goddamned tragedy.

I missed it.

I'm sure many did; we're all playing Whack-A-Dumpster-Fire.

Kash Patel should never have been confirmed.

Everybody knows it.

He needs to go.

EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

Pseudoscience is popular in part because it seeks to confirm our beliefs.

Science can be less popular in part because it seeks to interrogate our beliefs.

Good science, like good art and literature, can upset the established ways in which we see the world.

Taylor Swift positively channels Shakespeare with the erudite literary allusions in her latest single. Sheer poetry! youtu.be/ko70cExuzZM?...

For some reason, I’ve always liked the bizarre lyrics here…

I am not #atheist because I am mad at god or Christians,
Not because I am antisocial,
Certainly not because it is a feature of my tribe.
I am atheist because I am decidedly UNCONVINCED by the claims and prescriptions supplied by ANY religion. Empathy and rationality suit me just fine.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

I often wonder if child molestation is their method not only of power, but control over the people they will be. Abuse, even as children, has destroyed possibly great minds who later aligned with or become future abusers and victims.

Almost like they’re trolling viewers while also taking their money. These major media programming decisions are quite revealing.

It seems to be part of their crackdown on “hate speech“, tho it is nothing of the sort & I seriously doubt they will be so vigilant towards those who rail against us “evil“ atheists. Hope they reconsider their stance!

You can be Intolerant of bad, destructive ideas without being intolerant of people, #Bluesky. I’ll find another social media platform if I am not free to express #atheist beliefs. Who got to you, anyway?

Better watch it - Bluesky is hiding anti-Christian posts now for “intolerance”. Guess the Christian Nationalists have taken control of this platform too. You think the Administrators feel the same way about posts against #atheists ?

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Bluesky initially hid your post due to “intolerance”. Wow. Guess we can’t speak freely against religion anymore.

Many happy returns to revered and best-selling #author #AnneRice, born this day in 1941 who gave the world #TheVampireChronicles beginning with the iconic #InterviewWithTheVampire. She sadly passed away in 2021.

It’s heartbreaking to see a brilliant mentally ill friend spiral out of control - Roger & the band capture this perfectly here - love this album!

Iconic!

Give it away!

Oh, that’s a good one.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Here we go - the enshitification of MSM continues…

Imho or whatever

I been jaded from way back, so yeah, always liked em.

Amen to this! Scores of federal workers are devoted to public service & the way they’ve been treated is a national disgrace. THANK YOU to all the #federalworkers out there!

Glad it’s gotten a lot more appreciation in recent years - back when it came out, it was a bit of a pill. Then again, Radiohead loves to take us out of our comfort zones, and I find it really enjoyable now.
