My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.
Iran fires on vessel in Strait of Hormuz and declares the Strait is closed.

On this day in 1995, the Grateful Dead played their final show ever. It was the second of two consecutive nights at Soldier Field in Chicago, with The Band opening each show. After closing with a rare double encore of ”Black Muddy River” and “Box of Rain,” the final notes rang out with a fireworks display set to Jimi Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner,” lighting up the Chicago skyline. No one in the crowd realizing they'd just witnessed the band's last concert, but as we all know, the music never stops 🌹

In 1981, SMU cheerleaders ran onto Kyle Field to celebrate a TD. A&M's ‘Officer of the Day’ rushed the field to stop them, brandishing his saber threateningly.

There's a weird disconnect between GOP decrying socialists being elected and the Trump White House talking about taking an ownership stake in OpenAI and other big tech companies.
The @USMNT hadn't been called for a red card in the World Cup in 20+ years. Then they played at a stadium next to a massive electrical substation.
ELF exposure has been shown to cause measurable changes in brain electrical activity, potentially influencing cognitive processes.
Trump has earned $2.3 billion since the beginning of his presidency through 4 different crypto schemes.
The common denominator for each: the Trumps win big, and you lose.
Data from @Reuters.
Watching a President of the United States fly a plane personally gifted to him by a foreign government isn’t just corrupt, it makes us look weak to the world.

I think people have lost the will to try fact-check this guy due to the volume of lies he spreads.
Also it's actually pretty difficult with this image and quite time consuming.
It just happens I had nothing better to do. /1
