Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.

Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Sure, why not? What’s not normal is having to get the opinion of complete strangers before you believe the person who you supposedly love the most.

The Official Map of the Star Wars Galaxy Lucasfilm recently released an official map of the galaxy that Star Wars takes place in. And it’s huge. The map is slightly interactive; you can zoom and scroll it, but you can’t search or, say, click to highlight all

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

I’m wondering why the Dems are not asking anyone who was victimized by Epstein to come forward, either publicly or anonymously to give their stories.

This would need to be done BEFORE Maxwell gives her watered down and probably false testimony.

DOGE Track: Tracking The Damage A website tracking the various activities of the DOGE wrecking crew across government. Sunlight is the best disinfectant!

So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data

It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info

Enjoy!

It is really difficult to comprehend POTUS taking a $400,000,000 gift from the main financial supporter of the Hamas, which the USA still defines as a terrorist organization.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, β€œOne Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

Some tips from my experience of the Iberian blackout today: when there's a widespread power outage like this, you will gradually lose the Internet, phone & messaging within about an hour, in bits & pieces at first, then a total loss. Use that small window of time wisely. 🧡
