It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

Wouldn't it be horrible if this was the case? This is the peak moment for our species, the pinnacle of human achievement, and the primary use case that has been found is generating revenge porn on the fascist chat app.

Musk’s far-right political agenda is extremely well documented and would be fascinating to the American people (who are largely ignorant of it): which really begs the question why the Business & Media & Political Elite are choosing to minimize it (and their complicity in Musk’s impact on US).

Muslims lived in the city too. Muslim first responders died. This is Islamophobia and shows that Giuliani never truly was America’s Mayor. (Which obvs is something we’ve known for a long time, but it just irks me that he’s still pulling this bullshit.)

Minor irritation - Russian Cosmism contributed to the birth and development of the ideologies of modern tech-bros, but it isn't really present in those circles as anything resembling "actually existing cosmism." It would make more sense for people who use TESCREAL as a shorthand to use TESREAL.

Reading about Japan's first astronaut, who was a chainsmoker and spent most of his mission being violently sick. He died earlier this year, RIP to a real one.
Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer. During his time aboard Mir, Akiyama gave live reports each day documenting life aboard the station, but his apparent discomfort led to him being described as the first "antihero in space". He described his struggles such as space sickness and craving for cigarettes. During training, he quit smoking cigarettes, having previously smoked four packs a day. Before liftoff, when asked what he looked forward to most upon his return to Earth, he said "I can't wait to have a smoke". His fellow cosmonauts later reported, in regards to his nausea, that they "hadn't ever seen a man vomit that much."

kill the MAHA in your head, a non-exhaustive list: -stop using the word "chemicals" in a derogatory way. When criticizing specific types of chemicals, be specific. -stop saying "clean eating" for whatever diet you're on. food you're avoiding isn't dirty or bad just because you are avoiding it.

-stop assigning moral value to food as it relates to health or your food choices. you aren't "being good" or "being bad" in selecting a food choice. -stop assigning moral values to bodies. don't think it becomes ok to do just because the bodies belong to bad people.

-stop saying "big pharma" when criticizing the medical establishment. -stop paying huge agribusiness a mark up for meaningless labels like "cage free" and "pasture raised" - at the grocery store it's a pretty lie; if it's a priority you can afford you need the farmers market for it.

-stop using "GMO" as scary shorthand. A dog is a genetically modified organism. So is any potato you've ever encountered. If you're concerned about seed patents, talk about seed patents. -use the word "ultraprocessed" related to food sparingly if at all, it has littl4 meaning except to connote "bad"

Patent medicines were one reason for the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. It was one of the early wins of the Progressive movement. The other was, of course, the publication of Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle," which detailed how sausage was made. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Fo...

The alt-health industry is just a resurrection of snake oil salesmen from the 19th century. It's just patent medicines that back then were often nothing more than flavored water, alcohol, laudanum or morphine. In other words, they were often selling you nothing, or an addictive drug.

I’d also note that of all the ways it’s possible for people to be pulled Rightwards, it’s through this system of belief. Ableism is SO indoctrinated into our society regardless of party affiliation and the health care system has so failed us, the MAHA attitude is more appealing then you think.
