I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

That’s a very interesting way of saying that, despite occasional hyperbole, you anti-anti-Trumpers were wrong and his critics were substantively right all along.

Dear rest of the world, If you want to know why the US elected Trump given all the things you know about him, the reason is that America has tens of millions of people as ignorant as this. We just aren't a very smart country as a whole. bsky.app/profile/atru...

When the public invests in new tech, the public should benefit.

That’s why our investment in a Quantum Fabrication Lab at NYU includes a first-of-its-kind agreement to give the city seats on the board and a share of the revenue from the lab — all while making our city the quantum capital of the world. 

We’re creating a new national model for economic development that gives working people a say and a stake.

Please note that, despite all Musk’s talk of Mars, that’s not what Starship is meant to do. It’s meant to deliver large numbers of ever more powerful satellites into Earth orbit. Musk currently has unchecked, dictatorial control over the most important battlefield technology. And it will get worse.

Thanks to RFK Jr, the USDA scuttled a plan to combat bird flu that included vaccinating chickens, because Brooke Rollins “was concerned about whether it would clash with the Health secretary’s anti-vaccine views”. Seems like a good time to deploy the word shitbirds for these government officials.

Massive shame the new Tory administration in Westminster seems to be ditching the plan to create a pedestrian plaza south of Piccadilly. The 2000s scheme by Livingstone to turn Trafalgar Square from a roundabout into a proper square transformed the space. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Las Playas Intaglio is a 272-foot fish carved into the Arizona desert 6,500 years ago, older than Stonehenge, the oldest geoglyph in the Americas. It survived every civilization on 2 continents. In April a border wall contractor scraped a 50-foot path through it. CBP: "inadvertently disturbed."

Happy 5th anniversary to this all timer of a tweet from History PhD and general knower of things, Newt Gingrich. Remind me again, what are George Washington and Robert E Lee best known for?
Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich
Washington and Lee University's course on "how to overthrow the state" is one further sign of the insanity taking over higher education. The alumni should rise up and show how to overthrow a crazy college administration.

You know, children, there was a time, not so long ago, when serious journalists - even right wing propagandists cosplaying objectivity - would applaud an experienced, even-tempered Foreign Secretary, like Hague or Hammond, being a bit dry, rather than jumping on stuff as if they were Perez Hilton.
