Nebraskans cheering the destruction of LA and San Diego says something dark about the current condition of the United States.

[runningbeam @runningbeam]

San Diego is the heart of our pacific coast military presence and capability

The fact that he isn’t boo’d off the stage is an indictment of the audience

A few updates:
– A glacier broke/shifted along the Tibet/Nepal border
– The sudden shift released the equivalent of 950 tons of TNT detonating
– That allowed a glacial lake to essentially drain into the Triushuli River
– River swelled 50-100+ feet in height and 5X in width

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

My son is about to start kindergarten and I literally cannot imagine how I would feel or what I would do if masked agents hauled him off to a detention center with no explanation and no way of knowing when he'd get out.

What our government keeps doing in our name is monstrous.

A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine has succeeded in a Phase 3 trial for melanoma.

It uses the same fundamental mRNA platform as the COVID vaccines and could open an entirely new chapter in cancer treatment.

This is why we fund mRNA technology research.

I think we make spouse selection way more complicated than it needs to be sometimes.

Strip it all the way down.

Is this person flexible when life doesn’t go according to plan?

Are they relatively emotionally stable, or does every inconvenience become a crisis?

Are they conscientious? Do they do what they say they’re going to do? Can they manage themselves and their responsibilities without being parented?

Are they agreeable enough to cooperate, compromise and consider someone besides themselves?

Because you’re not just choosing someone you’re attracted to or enjoy spending time with.

You’re choosing the personality you’re going to solve problems with for the next 40 years.

And the research on this is actually pretty consistent: lower neuroticism and higher conscientiousness and agreeableness are associated with greater relationship satisfaction.

Sometimes the fundamentals really are the basics.

We’ve got children going to bed hungry in this country and you want to call me a “communist” for thinking this guy could stand to pay some more taxes?

I will never forget the "Haitians eating cats" lie. I will never let it go. It was so deliberate and monstrous and unprovoked and cruel, and no one has ever apologized for it.

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

Do not laugh about this speech. It’s impossible to follow but he’s directly challenging our right to vote. The president of the United States is lying in order to wage war on our democracy and against the states. I don’t care your politics; everybody should be outraged.

This week 20,000 pigs burned to death in a factory farm fire in Ontario.

They haven't let photographers inside. But here's what another pig factory farm looked like after it burned.

It's hard to imagine the suffering of these intelligent, sensitive animals — trapped, without any means of escape or hope of help, as the flames engulfed them.

It's harder to imagine the greed of an industry too cheap to even install sprinkler systems.
