I thought it was weird that Obama won the Nobel peace prize, given some of the actions taken by his admin. However, the psychic toll it takes on this petulant toddler of a man has silenced my objections. Obama received something that he can never have, and it eats at him every day.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

From descriptions of Donald Trump, stated between 2015 and 2018, by Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina.

A race-baiting, xenophobic bigot
The Islamic State’s “man of the year”
The death of the GOP’s relationship with Hispanic voters
A death blow to the GOP’s relationship with women
The world’s biggest jackass
A wrecking ball
A salesman of fear
A politician whose ideas are gibberish
A politician who is incapable of representing a mattress company
A poor representation of a Republican
A president who is unfit for office
A president who sometimes crosses the line
A Twitter user whose tweets are sometimes beneath the office of the presidency
A man who has a blind spot
A thoughtful person
A good person
A strong person
A golfer with an accurate drive and an athletic swing
A president doing a great job
The best hope in decades for peace
A potential recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

“Thought you were supposed to be against hate and intolerance” nope. I’m for justice, and that requires hating injustice and those who seek to uphold it. You can’t be tolerant of people who are intolerant of your mere existence, because that’s not tolerance, it’s submission.

Do you like turtles? 🐢 Do you also like spiders? 🕷️ Then I have just the critter for YOU! You're looking at an 'orange tortoise spider' (Encyosaccus sexmaculatus), native to the Amazon basin of South America. If the legs seem 'stubby', that's because she's got her tarsus joints folded under her.
Taken from a Reddit post by Mass1m01973, two macro photos of a very bright orange spider with a sort of turtle shell on its back, striped in white, with little holes in it.  It has legs folded up underneath it as if asleep.

The reason people keep discoursing about bisexuals bringing their straight boyfriend to pride is this guy spawns in if you do :( In the phase 2 of the fight you have to explain the difference between bi- and pansexuality and he has a HUGE sword

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

I have nothing but the deepest contempt for people who chose to vote for Trump again. At best, they’re willfully credulous rubes who believed a man who has never cared about anything but enriching himself was going to make their lives better.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Reading through slides from a talk at a medical conference about using AI, specifically ChatGPT, to assist in diagnosis and treatment and now I have a new question to ask when screening primary care providers. If my doctor is “asking ChatGPT” I’m walking out.

I keep thinking about them saying "haven't you learned [from Renee Good's murder]" and... they don't understand why people are still coming out after they've shown they can and will kill us, because they're cowards, and they don't understand what it's like not to be a coward

important to clarify that he means the ELECTED Democrats couldn’t hold it together. the PUBLIC did, and that’s why we were furious. government employees who were out of work still firmly insisted a shutdown was worth it. eating ramen every night to defend our healthcare, but their senators caved

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Greg Bovino should be charged with murder under conspiracy doctrine. He was told weeks ago by a federal judge that he was going to cause the death of a civilian and was acting lawlessly. He has persisted in stoking the exact conduct he was told to stop.

I've seen people say that the officer who murdered Nicole Good should be charged with murder, and to that I add that every officer who kept medics from arriving, who barred doctors from helping should also be charged under conspiracy doctrine.

It is wild that the celebrity gossip magazine is providing more clear-eyed, direct reporting than traditional hard news outlets, but that’s life under a fascist regime, I guess.

This is a pretty clear indication that they’ve seen their escalation go unchecked and unchallenged. If the perp isn’t arrested, shooting protesters is going to be business as usual very soon.

Absolute worst part of rib fracture is how gross it feels. Painful, sure, but also there’s really nothing that can be done to stabilize the fracture so I can just feel stuff moving in ways it shouldn’t be moving. Every time I bend or turn and feel something shift it makes me want to barf. 🤢

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

It is said that nothing lasts forever, and often that is cause for sorrow and regret. But take heart, for it also applies to the reign of despots, to tyranny. They too cannot last forever, so let us usher in their end, let us outlast them.

"Magda Goebbels made a great strudel"
ID: A post on Twitter by @NickyFrank30 reading:

My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.
