While we're talking percentages, let's talk about the proposed cuts to NASA's science budget.
NASA is currently 0.36% of US federal spending. www.planetary.org/space-policy...
The proposed budget cuts NASA science by 47%.
NASA science is already on a shoestring, and that string is about to break

screenshot of a post by Isaiah Martin saying "Never forget how Louise Lucas responded when someone tried to tell her to water down her 10-1 blue map which itself screenshots a tweet by @SenLouiseLucas " I have the utmost respect for Senator Laine and Senator Warner but we do not need 'coaching' on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1"
another gem off FB lmao
Good god the kicker:
I too put random newlines in long posts that I totally didn’t copy-paste from texts with Stephen Miller
Zoom settings panel saying: My notes Transcribe my meetings with My Notes Generate and enrich content with AI Companion Both settings have been turned OFF.
I thought I'd turned off all "A.i." bullshit in Zoom, but I got a pop up saying "This meeting is being transcribed" during a recent call. So I went into Settings on the web and found these turned on for some damn reason. Turned 'em off! Highly recommend you turn 'em off, too!
Very annoyed!

Meta has faced particular scrutiny because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—which are all owned by Meta—are among the most widely used online platforms by Americans, according to a recent Pew Research Center report. In late 2025, Reuters reported on a set of internal Meta documents that detailed how the company dealt with fraudulent and prohibited user activity, including a May 2025 presentation that estimated that its platforms were involved with a third of all successful scams in the US. Another presentation cited by Reuters alleged that an internal Meta review found it “is easier to advertise scams on Meta platforms than Google.” One Meta document from 2024 that Reuters cited estimated that the company would earn 10.1 percent of its revenue that year—around $16 billion—from ads that were actually scams or other types of prohibited content. To put that figure in perspective, the FBI estimated that in 2024, Americans lost $16 billion from all internet crimes. At the time, a Meta spokesperson called the estimate “rough and overly inclusive” and said that the set of documents
That Zuckerberg's business model is a scam of breathtaking scale isn't even an argument anymore. He knows it and we know it.

PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Communications Commission 45 L Street NE Washington, DC 20554 News Media Information 202-418-0500 Internet: www.fcc.gov DA 26-392 Released: April 22, 2026 FCC'S MEDIA BUREAU SEEKS COMMENT ON FURTHER EMPOWERING PARENTS TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN AND MAKE INFORMED CHOICES ABOUT THE TV PROGRAMS THEIR CHILDREN WATCH MB Docket No. 19-41 Comments Due: May 22, 2026 Reply Comments Due: June 22, 2026 Over the years, Congress and the FCC have acted to empower parents to determine the type of television programming that is appropriate for their children. Indeed, in 1996, Congress found that television programming has a "uniquely pervasive presence in the lives of American children" and "influences children's perceptions of the values and behavior that are common and acceptable in society."' Congress then determined that parents should be provided with timely information about the nature of upcoming video programming and have the ability to block violent, sexual, or other programming that parents believe is harmful to their children. In passing this legislation, Congress provided the relevant television and video programming industries with an option. They could establish their own voluntary system for rating video programming or the Commission could establish a ratings system itself. Industry representatives chose to set up their own voluntary system, and the Commission in 1998 found that industry's approach met the relevant statutory criteria.? As a result, industry established the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB),4
The FCC is looking to take control of the voluntary TV ratings system to banish transgender and non-binary subject matter, hijack the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, and go on a censorship spree in the name of “protecting children.” docs.fcc.gov/public/attac...
the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
By my count, 25 of 47 Democratic U.S. Senators have tweeted today in recognition of Earth Day. Just 2 of 53 Republican Senators have done so.

With a reply that reads - if you love geometric fonts where this would be true so much then why don't you use them in your body copy? no? not readable? go FUCK yourself; dictionary. they should call you hypocrictionary

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.
No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

There has literally never been an authentic groundswell of support for anything TPUSA does. Normal and decent people are repelled by them
From what I can tell, this invitation to speak was revoked at the behest of billionaire-funded TPUSA and GOP Senator Mike Lee, NOT because there was a groundswell of authentic, grassroots opposition from the student body.
Ms. McMahon said she felt like the victim of an organized cancellation campaign - the kind, she said, Mr. Kirk probably would have opposed. She defended her deleted post, noting she had used Mr. Kirk's words. "There's nothing I said that I believe was incorrect or that I feel I need to apologize for," she said.
Look, no offense Ms. McMahon and I'm sorry your talk got cancelled by an arm of the Republican Party called TPUSA, but Charlie Kirk led an organization who's entire purpose was to drive voices like yours out of the public sphere to clear unchallenged space for their own ignorant bigotry.
Billionaire funded TPUSA's goal is to police public discourse such that anyone to their left who speaks truthfully about what Charlie Kirk said or did, using his own words as evidence, will not be allowed to speak those truths to college students in red states. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

I believe all of this and will add: I worked on a bunch of MrBeast shit at my old job and our main point of contact for awhile was a guy who went by the nickname Klitz (a shortened version of his last name). room full of dudes saying "Klitz" and giggling.

Major #EarthDay win 🎉: H.R. 1897, aka the Endangered Species Act Amendments Act was just pulled from house floor consideration following outcry from both Republicans and Democrats who oppose the bill.
