Right wingers 4 years ago were freaking out that they were gonna be censored by big tech, and now that big tech is actually censoring people they’re celebrating it cause the censorship is aimed at people they don’t like.

Don’t ever forget their hypocrisy

Mike's book "Jewish Space Lasers" explained the centuries-long history of how Marjorie Taylor Greene came to blame wildfires on fictional direct energy weapons instead of climate change.

Yesterday, Mike's house burned down from climate-induced wildfires.

Please buy his remarkable book.

Jimmy Carter was the best that this country ever made. May we all hold his spirit close in the days and years to come.

I was so happy when he was elected, because with a child's intuition, I could tell he was a good man, a humble man, a man who would put us first. Every act of his since then has proven that little girl more right than she could have imagined.

"Don't let his legacy die. Don't let this country die. Let hope and faith be your guardrails." - Tony Lowden, the pastor at Jimmy Carter's Baptist church in GA

Carter was the first president I really knew as a child (I was only vaguely aware of the man whom I thought was called "General Ford"). 1/

Democratic Party under Biden passed the biggest climate change fighting package in US history.

Republican Party under Trump lies about climate change and aims to increase pollution.

The Green Party says there's no relevant difference between those two and it's important to work against the former.

🥳 It's here! The slightly unhinged book that ended up twice as long as planned but somehow still got finished, the charmingly messy book that made these last few months not only survivable but joyful. 🎄

I hope it brings a much-needed smile or laugh to you, too!

I didn’t even know there was an adult MMR vaccine. Thanks!

Also be sure to get your shingles vaccine if you’re eligible ASAP because the second dose has to be 2-6 months after the first.

oh this is genuinely one of my favourite topics of conversation, no one knows how eels fuck, it's one of the funniest things I've ever come across, absolutely adore the idea of a scientist going home in the evening and telling their spouse "nah, still wouldn't fuck in front of us :("

Same. I’ll walk outside if it’s 20 degrees F but not above 80 with 80% humidity. I have an elliptical machine in the basement, but it’s no substitute for breathing fresh air and saying hi to birds, so I never use it.

BIDEN: Donald Trump wants to win the election

NYT FACT CHECK: There’s no evidence to support this claim. The reality of consciousness has never been proved by philosophers, and therefore the other minds problem is only the first of the logical abysses barring us from any true description of desire

FACT CHECK: It is not “a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” We spoke with Mr. Richard Hetherington-Jones of Thelfall Manor, Yorkshire, who has £2000 per annum and does not wish to be wed at this time.
