The thing about Pete Hegseth is that he'd make a terrible fictional villain because there's nothing fucking there. He's just a dumb, hateful blowhard and has seemingly spent his whole adult life like that.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I feel like the narrative around the bullpen is hanging around from the beginning of the season but at this point is just objectively untrue. They've actually been very solid over the last few months. It's a little tough to capture a good screenshot but here's the last 30 (BAA, whole staff)

Just this week, the 79-year-old president hallucinated a lie about the Unabomber, forgot he appointed the Fed Chair he hates, blanked on names of officials, fell asleep at a rally, threatened to strip Rosie O'Donnell of her citizenship and spun wild theories about his good friend the pedophile.

Critical reading is estimated between 2-4 min/pg so let's avg. 3min x 150pg x 3 classes = 22.5 *HOURS* of reading per week. Not including other assignments, other classes, PT jobs to pay for school, etc. That's not to say people want to read less now, but Carlos was probably crushing his students.

I was a much more avid reader in college than I am now, but back then I was in a reading-heavy major at a very good school. I didn't have an aversion to reading whatsoever, but 150pg/wk across multiple classes was simply too much. Especially to try and work through things critically.

as a parent of one very small human, i can say this: my parents generation? there really wasn't fertility options, and everyone has kids. Of *my* network, I know of at least 7 couples off the top of my head with male-focused fertility issues who have ended up doing IVF.

JL Squirrel @secret-squirrel.bsky.social · 12/07/2025
So i'll say this: she's the dumbest person alive. But my guess is there is *some* version of truth in this. There is a significant rise in fertility issues, and it's very likely due to something like food, or microplastics, or one of the many joys of modern life

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.
Trump post: Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho
