Being an empathetic person is great, except when someone doesn’t like you, ‘cause you’re like, “Oh yeah, I get it.”

When the big studios want to cut costs, they never ask the question, "who here is massively overpaid & contributes the least to the things that actually make us money? Do we have anyone like that on the payroll? Let's see who we're paying the MOST & work our way down the list."

Metric: 1g water = 1 mL water
Imperial: 1 oz butter = 1 fluid oz butter
And people think it’s not as good a system!

The Fourth of July is a chance to reflect on our nation’s highest ideals—and recommit to fighting for a future that lives up to them. Wishing you a safe and happy Independence Day.

Much to celebrate today:
- best recovery of any advanced economy
- growth remains strong, no recession on horizon
- inflation has come way down, 1.2% in May
- deficit, flows to the border, murder rates all significantly down

Things are better in America.

We don’t talk enough about how Terminator 3 ends the same as Dr. Strangelove, and even @Schwarzenegger’s last line is “We’ll meet again.”

I know a lot of people like Last Crusade, but I’m just going to go ahead and say it’s kind of bad. This movie is better. It’s the second best one.

I am still in awe of last night. Vice President Harris gathered LGBTQ+ leaders to her private residence for a celebration of all we have achieved, and her recommitment to the fight we have right in ahead of us.

The attacks in Florida are not a secret. Speaking with the Vice President one on one, it is clear she not only is aware of the attacks against our community, she is also fervently committed to the work we to achieve full equity for LGBTQ+ people.

I am so humbled the Vice President’s office extended this invite and for the time we had together. The work ahead at times can seem insurmountable, and it isn’t anything we can’t achieve in collective unity. We have done more before with way less. Let’s keep pressing forward. Happy pride, y’all. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Excellent, important, & spot on from the editor in chief of Science magazine @hholdenthorp on the nonsense argument that scientist @PeterHotez should debate non-scientist RFK Jr. on vaccines:

People who think the anti-LGBTQ is going to stay cabled to issued of same-sex marriage and "artistic" expression are fooling themselves.
This is an attack on public accommodation laws and will be used by every bigot in the country.

To all those fighting against Putin but sometimes fighting with each other, remember what Churchill said:

"If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favourable reference of the Devil in the House of Commons."

I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
