@WhiteHouse "good faith" is only that their god commands them to kill infidels - there is never a deal less than that.

@RepChipRoy Viewed from another country, 25% income tax for importing US dollars is cheap!

@DC_Draino Notice any similarities?

[Dean Carroll @TaDeanTX]

Outshouting and @greggutfeld's unintelligible impersonation of @brithume have finally ended my long-term enthusiasm for @TheFive. Sorry, @DanaPerino I miss you already.

@theNCI @NIH Maybe I'll take some Ivernnect!n

Elon Musk just measured your existence by how many times your atoms have been inside a dying star.

Musk: “How many times have your atoms been at the center of a star? I think it’s like on average three or four times.”

Every atom in your body has already survived the core of a star.

Multiple times.

Crushed under pressures that would flatten planets.

Superheated to millions of degrees.

Blown apart in explosions so violent they forged new elements.

Then gravity pulled those scattered pieces back together.

New stars formed.

And the cycle repeated.

For 13.8 billion years, your atoms have been fuel for the most violent process in the universe.

And they are not done.

Musk: “In terms of existence as measured by the number of times your atoms will be at the center of a star, we seem to be roughly halfway.”

Halfway.

Your atoms have been through the furnace three or four times.

They will go through three or four more.

But right now, in this impossibly thin sliver between cycles, those atoms are doing something they have never done before.

They are conscious.

For billions of years before you, they burned through stellar cores with no awareness.

No memory.

No sense of what they were or where they had been.

After you, they will return to that state.

Unconscious matter drifting through space until the next star claims them.

This is the only moment in their entire journey where they can look back at the stars that made them and understand.

Musk: “If you want to look at the big picture… that’s the really big picture.”

The big picture is not that we are small.

Everyone already knows that.

The big picture is that we are temporary witnesses to a process that does not need witnesses.

Stars do not need observers to burn.

Atoms do not need anyone to understand where they have been.

The universe ran for billions of years with no one in it.

It will run for billions more after the last conscious thing disappears.

But right now, matter is examining itself.

That has never happened before in 13.8 billion years.

You are not a person who happens to contain ancient atoms.

You are ancient atoms that briefly figured out how to think.

The universe did not design consciousness.

It designed stars.

Consciousness was the accident.

And the accident is half over.

@SenTedCruz @SenJohnKennedy Members of Congress should FORFEIT their pay as well as their benefits. Impacted government workers should be compensated DOUBLE TIME plus per diem expenses !

@SecWar Isn't $1.5 trillion less than the 5 percent agreed to by NATO countries?

[Dean Carroll @TaDeanTX]

@SenRandPaul Was he subpoenaed? Yes or No !

@liz_churchill10 Pence is a pius hypocrite.

[Dean Carroll @TaDeanTX]

.@MZHemingway It says something about the political party, not the Court, if US Supreme Court decisions frequently favor one party over another. Decisions must be evaluated based on their fidelity to the US Constitution not whether they are favored by a political party. This fact should be emphasized at every opportunity.

@epaleezeldin @SecKennedy @AlexMarlow Define microplastics. How big/small? Can they be filtered? Can they be seen? Descriptions of microplastics often show photos of plastic chunks that could not possibly pass through the blood brain barrier.

Rachel you are absolutely right about the robot monk. It is not spiritual and it cannot possibly be Buddhist.

@WhiteHouse As a kid I remember celebrating VE Day and VJ Day !

@grok So Grok's first answer was not about the statement but what the statement was about?

[Dean Carroll @TaDeanTX]

@grok But isn't it actually just the true definition of the word "faith"?

[Dean Carroll @TaDeanTX]

@TheFive @HaroldFordJr I want to like and respect Harold.
I keep trying, really I do.
But I don't.
Can't.
He just never seems to make sense.

@DrMakaryFDA @US_FDA I want to believe but please help me understand how this will eliminate the lies that hid existing meds like Ivermectin and potential meds live DMSO.
