I'm a science communicator who speaks mostly in sarcasm, nerdy memes, and food parables.

I'll be discussing the 2004 Ashton Kutcher film the Butterfly Effect (among other things) on another social media app.
(I will probably not do this but just look for another social media app with a butterfly and find DarthFeta)

@ABC Obviously he's moving. It's hardly news.

@Nate_Sinclair @bennyjohnson Is it odd that my go-to justification is
"Okay, but we all agree Stephen Miller is ugly right?"
Never heard anyone say "Mmm. Stephen Miller, what a Zaddy"

@Nate_Sinclair @nonregemesse You're probably right. I'm sure I'm mixing up my facts

[Robert Fata @RobertFata]

@Nate_Sinclair @nonregemesse Wasn't the guy Ian Fleming based James Bond a person of color?

I still can’t get over that Alito basically said racism was over and then conservatives agreed by deleting every black district in the south in like 2 seconds

@Mantispr3ys Oh hey it worked!

@Mantispr3ys I'm hoping our shitty global reputation makes this backfire

@Mikejamescomedy @hwinkler4real And if they'd said "income tax" you might be correct. But the exact words were "pay more in taxes".

The basis is a Feb 23, 2026, report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP). It models 2026 impacts of Trump's policies: tariffs (assumed passed to US consumers), expiration of enhanced health premium tax credits, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) tax changes.

ITEP compares these to prior baselines and finds net tax increases for all income groups except the top 5% (esp. top 1%), as tariffs/credit losses outweigh cuts for most households.

I mean word for word she nailed exactly how Trump would lead us into this exact crisis…

“Donald Trump doesn’t know the first thing about Iran…”

@TaraMunson Is there some kind of scientific literature to back this claim or is it just vibes?

🚨Nobody wants to hear this but it needs to be said.

> Scientists put human brain cells in a petri dish. No body. Just neurons on a chip.

> It learned to play DOOM in under a week.

> 800,000 neurons figured out how to navigate, shoot, and survive a video game without ever being alive.

your brain has 86 BILLION neurons and you can't even finish a side project.

we're being outperformed by lab equipment.

Wrap it up.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.

@LeftyWinter Hey. I didn't think this would come up so quickly, but I found some examples.

[Robert Fata @RobertFata]

@LeftyWinter This is a perfectly reasonable position. But I've met one fellow progressive and seen tweets from half a dozen more saying that they wouldn't in fact vote for any of these center left Democrats. I would not be so fast discount this affect on the last election.

[Robert Fata @RobertFata]

@Nate_Sinclair @jonkentcomrade So sick of leftists saying they won't vote for a genocide when the alternative is more genocide AND ethnic cleansing, AND oligarchy, AND corruption, AND walking back of lgbtqi+ progress AND etc...
