The folks from El Salvador aren't idiots - in fact, El Salvador has a higher adult literacy rate than America. Go figure.

I'm SO glad I didn't buy a Tesla recently while car shopping. I would be one of the folks ditching it at ANY cost.

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

Microsoft Says It Has Created a New State of Matter to Power Quantum Computers (Gift Article) Microsoftโ€™s new โ€œtopological qubitโ€ is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible.

This is very exciting! I'd love to read their research results in Nature, but it's unlikely I could understand it. Long live peer-reviewed science!

Trump is doing to the country what he can no longer do to his wife. (Borrowing from the Christopher Hitchens quote about Reagan). #fuckTrump #RESIST

Opinion | Susan Collins and Her Cowardly Caucus Bow Down to Trump (Gift Article) No nominee โ€” not Kennedy, not Gabbard โ€” is a provocateur too far for Senate Republicans.

This is by FAR the best article I read today. A SCATHING rebuke of this PUKE of an administration.
