Omg, yes:

“These champagne flutes of room temperature milk make Beavis and Butthead look like Marie and Pierre Curie.”

Very thorough article: “Epstein’s New Mexico ranch has been overshadowed by his other real estate holdings [ . . . ] but in some ways it was more lavish and more secluded: acres of grassland, a wide-open sky, mountains in the distance.”

Where will it stop???

If you never had any intention on getting a passport, but are in the process of trying to obtain a passport just so you could safely vote in future elections...

that is a poll tax.

Something that should be illegal due to the 24th amendment

When she was denied lodging at a hotel in Princeton, Albert Einstein invited her to stay at his home — an invitation he had extended to Paul Robeson two years earlier.

Marian Anderson and Albert Einstein's unexpected friendship | American Masters | PBS American Masters Multimedia Producer Cristiana Lombardo recounts how Marian Anderson and Albert Einstein crossed paths, forming a long-lasting friendship.

For the next 18 years, Anderson stayed with Einstein whenever she was in town to give a concert. While Anderson’s role as a civil rights figure was solidified with her iconic performance at the Lincoln Memorial (in front of an integrated audience of over 75,000), few knew of Einstein’s activism.

Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.

The Colorado River will deliver less than a third of normal water flow this summer. And, Rocky Mountain ski season has been disastrously bad this year.

They’re all a bunch of cornered hacks and they can’t stand to be told to stop breaking the law.

When I saw the Mothership in the Smithsonian I am not ashamed to say that I cried. The symbolism of a chariot coming to carry us home, the scale and audacity of it, the vision to imagine Black people in the future. It meant a lot to me!

SPOTTED IN NASHVILLE…

Sen. Josh Hawley’s Bill Would Undo Federal Approval of Mifepristone Nationwide Bills in Alaska, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Dakota, and West Virginia also target medication abortion.

Sen. Josh Hawley filed legislation this week that would direct the FDA to withdraw its approval of mifepristone to terminate pregnancies, make distributing the drug a violation of federal law and allow women to sue abortion drug manufacturers.

They can't control what's happening now, so they're trying to control what gets said about it.

Israeli strikes have killed nearly 700 people in Lebanon and led to the displacement of about 15% of the country's population over the past two weeks, reports journalist Lylla Younes from Beirut.

MethaneSAT Releases First Global Assessment of Oil and Gas Climate Pollution - Inside Climate News Nearly a year after the Environmental Defense Fund lost contact with an $88 million satellite, data from the spacecraft reveal higher-than-expected methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.

"The Permian Basin of West Texas and southeast New Mexico, the world’s largest oil-producing region, had the highest total methane emissions, releasing an estimated 410 metric tons per hour."

happy friday the 13th to all who celebrate

People are so negative about this quote, but he’s right. I sailed through the Strait of Hormuz twice this morning. Yeah, my face got blown off, but it’s open for business.

Democratic leadership and "centrists" continue to foolishly believe Trumpism is ordinary politics about policy differences. It's not, as members of the movement keep telling them. It's about aesthetics. As always, fascism is defined as an ethos and pathos, not a logos.

Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?

Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.

Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?

Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

lol

The most salient thing about Senator Mullin would seem to be his endorsement of the Big Lie about the 2020 election. That should certainly come up in hearings about running an organization that Trump allies (improperly) associate with elections.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Across the country, various right-wing nonprofits and tech bros (especially Elon Musk) are rewriting the laws in every state to make them MORE punitive, not less, thus guaranteeing that such grave injustices are more common.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

It's not a competition, but the thing about childless cat ladies is: we fuck.

We just ain't fucking *these* jackwagons.
