Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

Coverage of the Canada trade war seems to be underselling an important point: Trump tore up NAFTA and made everyone sign a new agreement more to his liking in 2020 with a 16-year renewable term. Now he's tearing up that agreement. If his signature is meaningless why would Canada agree to anything?

This story is a bit wild. After Elon Musk's DOGE erased decades of USAID data, it was assumed to be lost. But a Canadian college student had previously downloaded much of it in high school for a project. 4,000 PDFs. Thanks again, Canada. Yet again. www.aiddata.org/blog/before-...

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

In 75% of US industries, fewer corporations control more of the business than 20 years ago. That's especially true in the food industry. Just four corporations control 54% of the fresh-cut salad industry, including Taylor Fresh Foods. We're seeing in real time the danger of monopolization.

Chemist & X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin's meticulous research was instrumental in uncovering DNA's molecular structure. Most famous for her role in the DNA double helix discovery, her work also revolutionized our understanding of viruses & coal. She was born #OTD in 1920. #WomenInSTEM 🧵

A classic, black-and-white studio portrait of a young Dr. Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958), the pioneering British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose data was foundational to uncovering the double-helix structure of DNA. Captured from the chest up, Franklin sits in a three-quarter pose, her body angled slightly toward the left while her gaze directly meets the viewer. She possesses a calm, intelligent, and subtly enigmatic expression, with her dark hair neatly parted on the side and styled back away from her face. She wears a dark, long-sleeved button-down blouse with structured shoulders, a sharp collar, and fabric buttons down the front placket. The background is a soft, minimalist studio gradient of neutral grays that creates a gentle vignette effect, casting a soft light on the right side of her face. The composition is clean, formal, and balanced, evoking a mood of quiet determination, dignity, and brilliant intellectual poise characteristic of the early 20th-century scientific vanguard.

I grew up believing the presidency deserved respect. Today, I’m teaching my daughters that titles don’t command respect, character does. When our leaders choose insults over dignity, they diminish the office they hold. Respect isn’t owed to a title.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES CALLS ANOTHER NATION "SCUM" LED BY SOMETHING FUNDAMENTAL BRAS.
IT IS NOT JUST UNDIGNIFIED BUT A VISIBLE EROSION OF THE VERBAL AND MORAL GRAMMAR THAT ONCE DEFINED THE OFFICE.
EVERY TIME TRUMP OPENS HIS MOUTH IN THIS MANNER, THE VISUAL AND VERBAL
GRAMMAR OF THE COUNTRY
DETERIORATES FURTHER.
THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY IS MEANT TO CARRY A CERTAIN WEIGHT AND RESTRAINT.
INSTEAD, IT IS BEING REDUCED TO CRUDE INSULTS AND PLAYGROUND TAUNTS DELIVERED FROM THE MOST POWERFUL
POSITION IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT ONE MAN'S PERSONALITY. IT IS ABOUT THE SLOW NORMALIZATION OF VULGARITY, DEHUMANIZATION, AND INTELLECTUAL LAZINESS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF POWER.
THERE IS A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DECAY.
CRUDE, HATEFUL, AND UNHINGED SPEECH FROM THE TOP EVENTUALLY SEEPS INTO
PUBLIC LIFE.
IT MAKES THOUGHTFUL DISCOURSE SEEM WEAK AND REWARDS THE LOUDEST, MOST VICIOUS VOICES. THIS IS HOW COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE DECLINES, NOT SUDDENLY, BUT THROUGH CONSTANT,
REPEATED EROSION.
THE RESULT IS NOT STRENGTH.
IT IS NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT
DRESSED UP AS STRENGTH.

One of the reasons why the ongoing meltdown about Zohran asking people to set their A/C to 78 bothers me is that it seems to be a symptom of post-COVID unwillingness for individuals to do anything for the common good, and if we don’t have that we’re in a very bad place as a society.
