As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

Image of sunlight filtering through a slot canyon. At the top in white letters it reads “California Geology”. At the bottom it includes small lettering outlining articles that can be found inside. Across the middle it says “New Release” in yellow.

In California, scientists tracked the source of a severe vitamin deficiency that’s killing endangered salmon.
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Thai seems to be the slowest language in speaking rate and to communicate information. Japanese is the fastest spoken, but English and French might transfer information the fastest.
That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.
“If Minnesota falls, everything falls. We’re done as a nation.”
Fury. Grief. Anguish. Locals on the frontlines of Trump’s attack on Minneapolis are speaking out following the killing of another one of their neighbors. We’re on the ground with @samveep.bsky.social tracking the aftermath.
The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”

Bad science = meaningless conclusions. Excellent discussion. vajenda.substack.com/p/testostero...
Must be read in its entirety. An invitation from Canada’s PM to leave the USA behind and forge ahead with those countries that share their values. “Nostalgia is not a strategy”.
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”
He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Romosozumab mitigates progression from radiological to symptomatic adjacent-level vertebral fractures after cement augmentation compared to teriparatide after two years. Wei‑Han Kao et al. Osteoporos Int 16 Dec 2025 shorturl.at/qjfK0
So true. Osteo w/u before arthroplasties should be standard of care. Why not adopted yet?? Have seen such terrible patient outcomes due to periprosthetic fractures after THA in untreated osteoporosis. Permanently disabled. Best osteo meds marginally effective by then.
📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC
The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:

Carsie Blanton, everybody. 👑
The democratic party has officially given up on me so I have officially given up on them. Just changed my registered party affiliation from democrat to none. My pro-union, pro-democracy, pro-citizen, pro-American idealism no longer aligns with the little d party.
