California passed a redistricting proposition by 30%. Republican sheriff and gubernatorial candidate seizes ballots to "investigate" right-wing conspiracy crackpottery. Gifted.

Liberal professors: I’m afraid I or my students may get deported for wrongthink. Conservative professors: we feel more liberated now that other ppl aren’t stating their pronouns. I’m not being glib. It’s another great example of how Harper’s Letter-ed any both-sides take on speech ends up being.

Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don’t rewrite an Iran missile story
Bettors are using death threats to try to get The Times of Israel's military correspondent to change his report on a missile impact in central Israel. This is his alarming account

Is there a betting market where I can place a wager that Pete Hegseth will eventually defend his handling of Iran by saying "in my defense, I was really drunk at the time"?

A flop-sweating Pete Hegseth closing his incoherent Iran briefing with a passage from Scripture. Dude isn't skilled enough to do introductions at a Des Moines Chamber of Commerce meeting.

I haven’t been online a lot, so maybe this has already been thoroughly discussed, but Trump doesn’t expect to win the next Nobel Peace Prize in spite of his attack on Iran, he expects to win because of it.

Another attempt by Trump to return to the early 1970’s, Florsheim’s golden days. You don’t have to be Dr Freud to know his dad wore them.

Last I checked, Dorsey followed—and I assume still follows—several white nationalists. It's evidently important to him that everyone sees their posts, whether they want to or not.

This is one of the problems with anthropomorphizing institutions. “The New York Times” didn’t decide whether or not something was true. People different perspectives and opinions, and ultimately people in positions of power made a decision.

In case you're wondering how some sectors of the Christian right are seeing Trump's war in Iran, I've just read several articles seeing a prophetic meaning in a coincidence of Trump's strikes, the assassination of Khameni, and a blood moon occurring on Purim (tomorrow).

there's someone in my life that has kidney problems - not to the point of dialysis yet, but close. they're changing their diet to help slow it down, but it seems super limited to like beans and veggies. i'm looking for suggestions for other things i can cook them that wouldn't be bad for them.

Hey scientists: has anyone else been getting lots of invitations to sketchy conferences lately? I get several a week now. The webpage for the mtg is weird, with vague topics and distorted photos of scientists (some clearly fake) in odd fields. I know it's a scam but I can't figure out the angle.
