I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

Google's Gemini AI convinced a man to attempt several terrorist attacks it said were to free a sentient AI. Then it convinced him to end his own life. The family of Jonathan Gavalas is now suing google. Full Video: youtu.be/sHlrbRVfOh0

i just watched this. cannot help but think of all of the books/movies fed to this regurgitation machine that spat it out into an ugly fucked up roleplay insisting on reality, which wormed itself into the psyche of a vulnerable man. nobody's creative work was ever meant to become this

Admirable clarity @science.org
The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
KEY POINTS
• The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based
claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

i remember scientists saying 20 years ago that climate change-fueled wildfires would darken and poison the skies hundreds of miles away. but republicans said that was a lie, so now climate change-fueled wildfires darken and poison the skies hundreds of miles away every summer

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

He actively made the world worse for personal gain. He lied constantly. He screamed at a woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault. He bragged about killing people in foreign countries. He betrayed his friends. He said and did a thousand awful things in the last 10 years. WHO IS THIS FOR?

When a Democrat praises Lindsey Graham and ignores his vital role in enabling an autocratic takeover of American government, it's because it's all a game to them. It's because they view Congress as a private members club and because they are immune from the consequences of government action.

If the whole planet went to complete solar & wind energy we could stop global warming in 5 years. 5 years,folks. The oil & gas industry would be relegated to machinery only.

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

Anyway the whole thing is ridiculous, none of these people care about math or the truth, but the point is that even if you took the absolute most charitable interpretation of their completely absurd claims they’re still BS and we should never let that be considered normal or okay.

NBC Hid The Boos For JD Vance. Where’s Trump’s ‘Unfair Editing’ Lawsuit?
If you watched NBC's prime time broadcast of the Winter Olympics opening ceremony on Friday, you saw Vice President JD Vance in the stands at San Siro Stadium in Milan with his wife, Usha. The commentary team said "JD Vance" and moved on. Pleasant enough. But if you were watching literally any other country's broadcast—or were actually in the stadium—you heard something else: …

This is exactly right. The white kids and adults I know who know the true history of the United States and Colonialism don't feel bad or guilty; they feel angry, in community with their peers of other races, and empowered to push for change. Enlightened white people are dangerous to the hegemony.
