X is an IQ test
Every day, millions of people voluntarily announce that they cannot distinguish evidence from confidence.
Feelings become facts.
A viral post becomes a source.
A meme becomes an argument.
The internet didn’t make people stupid.
It just made the results public.
1. I didn't want to talk about this today. I had planned on writing a very clever and highly nuanced commentary on American patriarchy. But the man who runs the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees the Affordable Care Act, forced my hand.
To every reporter who stands there silently, every time Trump berates a female reporter - you’re a sackless loser and the living example of why women know we’re the only ones coming to save us. Have the days you deserve.
It really is so fucked up. They’ve made it SO EASY to vote in Cali and 24 million people are still too motherf’ng lazy to fill out a ballot and send it in.
It’s truly insane to me. And many in those 24 million will bitch about the governor, their taxes, the cost of things, jobs, etc over the next 4-6 years. It’s so disheartening to see how many people don’t give a shit about voting or having their voices heard.
89M eligible voters sat out our last federal election and we ended up getting Trump in office again and MAGA claiming that “half the country supports Trump” which is bullshit. People gotta vote, man.
The Writers Guild of America condemns Scott Pelley's firing at "60 Minutes" amid CBS News' "cruel and needless layoffs."
"In the past year, CBS has enacted cruel and needless layoffs across the organization and shuttered CBS News Radio. In addition, based on a string of public reporting and confidential reports from WGAE members, it is clear that CBS brass is engaged in a near-constant level of editorial interference that would have previously been unthinkable... These assaults on CBS News, an institution of American journalism for nearly a century, are more than mere ideological interference with the news. They display a profound contempt for the journalism profession, for our members who have dedicated their lives to informing the public about the world, and for the ethics that underpin true journalism, chief among them honesty, integrity, and objectivity."

By firing 3 reporters & the producer, Bari Weiss took the most successful news show for 58 years, making $200M a year with rising ratings and left...what? She's often unfairly criticized but this was a misstep--and Scott Pelley isn't going quietly https://t.co/lE06W03QXG
Not gonna lie, this is a badass museum donation.
🇺🇸 Shonda Rhimes donated the Oval Office set from Scandal, the same one fictional President Fitzgerald Grant called home for seven seasons.
Now it’s part of the Obama Presidential Center Museum
экшуалли эти видео неплохая иллюстрация что гомофобия это намеренное действие и каждодневный выбор постоянной ненависти разъедающей твой мозг до состояния плесени и что в результате это только усложнит твою жизнь
This seems fine.
“Female flies lay eggs in open wounds or body openings; upon hatching, the maggots burrow into the tissue, tearing at the flesh and causing severe wounds, tissue damage, and potentially death if left untreated.”
The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here.
What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs.
And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.
People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long.
@Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here.
But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed.
Pretty wild that the only times elections have been stolen in American history is when Dumbfuck J Trump is President. No other President has had this happen. I’m starting to think this guy Trump is just a huge fucking liar with zero respect for American democracy.
