I happened to notice this post of mine from 2019. It’s stunning to realize how clear the agenda was then that he’s advancing with deeper hostility now.

Wait you mean a Democrat can just go to a microphone and make news and it’s not always about cowering under your desk all day, consulting a focus group to shape a mealy mouth message?

Whoa if true

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I can definitely feel it and admitting that is no defense of the (also relatively empty) hellscape that is X.

I wish people would use the repost button more than the like button to boost content they appreciate, which might help. Encouraging activity by news media and journalists also might help.

Just from a logistical standpoint it is not feasible to conduct a "new" mid-decade census with accuracy. To give a sense of the scale of what is required, preparations are already underway for the *2030* census. This will add chaos to the Census Bureau and degrade the accuracy of the 2030 census

He’s the ‘Mozart’ of Math and Trump Killed His Funding The latest casualty in the administration’s assault on higher education is a legendary researcher who embodies the best of America.

So many ways to catalog the mindless, destructive effects of Trump administration cuts to higher education & research

But hard to come up with a more vivid illustration than what's happening to Terence Tao, who was kind enough to share his story w/me (1) www.thebulwark.com/p/terence-ta...

What if the media treated lies as moral deficiencies rather than spin to be merely debunked. And what if the media treated repeated liars as presumptive prevaricators and warned us – every time they quoted that person – that their veracity should be doubted.

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

My husband and I were talking last night about how a 12 pack of drinks is $9 now and how in 2020 I used to buy them 4/$10.
I decided to go back into my Walmart app and see what I was paying for a random grocery order. In January 2020 l paid $70.20 for 30 items, I added all of them to the cart again and repurchased them today. Today those 30 items were $165.42.
That's a $95.22 price increase in four years time. That's a 135.6% inflation percentage.
We can't go on living like this. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Tweet from Cassidy: It is unfortunate that the Secretary just canceled a half a billion worth of work, wasting the money which is already invested. He has also conceded to China an important technology needed to combat cancer and infectious disease. President Trump wants to Make America Healthy Again and Make America Great Again. This works against both of President Trump’s goals.

Senator Bill Cassidy’s vote secured the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy jr. He’s now issued a brief statement faintly calling Kennedy’s destruction of vaccine research “unfortunate”

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."

On right:

Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath.

DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her."

Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

There's no evidence that opossums eat any ticks, but it's a common myth (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...).

I asked ChatGPT & Copilot, "Do opossums eat ticks?"

Both confidently: "yes, thousands per week!". I then prompted, "Isn't it a myth?" And both answered: "yes, it's been debunked!"
