Got home tonight and realized all I consumed was two iced lattes and a 6-piece sushi roll. No wonder I was dizzy and short-tempered.
Losses in service jobs sparked the first negative job growth in two years.
We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.
"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!'
He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..."

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)
Yesterday I met someone very smart with astoundingly good mental health, and I just wonder what that’s like.
Yes. Global warming due to human behavior- especially fossil fuels is going to cause trillions of dollars in damage and countless deaths. So tragic. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.
The relentless promotion of pseudoscience, and this is particularly dangerous

And of course at least some of those kids partially never came home because their parents or their communities were toxic.
I have a theory that Boomer MAGAs are partially the way they are because they feel rejected by their millennial children who left for college and never came home.
A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich
My dentist said I have “excellent oral hygiene”. I’m going to ride this high all day.
The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters.

Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.
I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx
NSF is undergoing a massive shake-up: over 80 senior staff cut, remote work banned, the equity-in-STEM division eliminated, and hundreds of research grants scrapped.
This isn’t budget efficiency—it’s a direct attack on U.S. science, education, and equity.

Federal employees aren’t even allowed to be given lunch costing more than $25 from a non-gov source to avoid appearance of impropriety.
In disbelief every day that humans made up all these systems and we haven’t just decided to make up better stuff.
There are too many Mormon missionaries in university city. I’ve been asked “want to come to church on Sunday?” at least 5 times in the last 6 months.
Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.
Philly Water Dept. to the rescue
Dropped my keys through a grate into a storm drain. They belong to the Delaware River now.
I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.
Got a call from the dealership, which has had my Bolt since January because of a back ordered part, that my car might need an oil change.
It’s always fun to get unexplained hives. No clue what’s causing them but one of my eye lids is swollen and I have these big itchy welts on my arms, legs, and back. #autoimmune
It’s a great time to be a vegetarian. Prion diseases are scary. Heat doesn’t kill the pathogenic proteins. Nothing seems to. 😱
3 weeks ago it was consistently in the 70s and got up to the 80s, so I started some seeds thinking by the time they were big enough it would certainly be nice enough to plant them outside. Joke’s on me!
I used to think that my great diet and active lifestyle would keep me from developing chronic illness, but surprise, it didn’t! Anyone can join the chronic illness club at any time.
This feels less like the rise of Nazi Germany and more like the rise of Putin’s Russia.
