RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

Yo-Yo Ma rocks.

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

“I used to be so addicted to ibuprofen and god fixed me” is so fucking 7th Heaven it’s insane.

Love Is Blind is so unserious it’s perfect.

Hope RFK doesn’t watch Love is Blind; he’s gonna want to get rid of Ibuprofen asap

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Dear NSF scientists and staff:

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Meanwhile...

I'm a constituent in your state and that's absolutely not my biggest issue. Could you please do your actual job and stand up to fascism?

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Women only want one thing

one party is trying to kill us and the other doesn't want to be rude and interrupt them

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

We’re living in the golden age of press conferences where a weird guy on pills babbles incoherently

There’s no reason any of you should be on “X” at all. None. Literally no excuse.

Being (or pretending to be) this stupid should bar you from ever doing political analysis again

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

No they're not. They know exactly what they're voting for: The continued dismantling of our public health system. That's what they want. You know this. Why do we have to do this playacting goldfish brain shit every time.

I had hoped to be younger, hotter for the resource wars. I’m gonna have to find some stone to sit by and try and look wise now.
