Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

I used to watch the news with my dad when I was little. When I was about four I got goldfish and named them Walter Cronkite and Roger Mudd.

Funny how this works . . .

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

The undeniable truth that so many indoctrinated Americans refuse to accept...

Illustration from a children's book of Israelites gathered around the golden calf from the Book of Exodus.

Photo of Mike Johnson and other House Republicans presenting to Donald Trump a golden "America First Award" they made up just for him.

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising.

Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

I moved to MD in 2019 and started watching McFarlane when he was a reporter on the CBS affiliate, USA9. He really kept us informed on what Trump was doing to protesters, and events in DC. A real reporter.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey (1914–2015), the pioneering Canadian-American pharmacologist and FDA medical officer renowned for blocking thalidomide's approval in the United States. She is shown in a formal head-and-shoulders pose against a plain studio background, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and resolute expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled in soft waves, parted on the side, and she wears a simple dark blazer or jacket over a white collared blouse, embodying professionalism, quiet determination, and the courage that defined her career as a trailblazer in drug safety regulation and women's contributions to science and public health.

Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey single-handedly blocked the "wonder drug" thalidomide (US, FDA, 1960) & saved American children from severe birth defects.

The first woman to earn a PhD in pharmacology, she used her expertise and immense courage to defy intense industry pressure. #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

No such thing as loving Star Trek 'too much'.

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

daendeleon 2d @ Threads Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Please share. 💔

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

There have been confirmed reports from local organizers in Portland ME that ICE is knocking on doors claiming to be from MaineCare and “offering help“

"Hegseth appears to be cultivating a leadership style not dissimilar to that of a company-grade infantry officer, the pinnacle of his leadership experience in uniform, micromanaging each process rather than creating strategy to streamline solving problems"- great quote from a senior defense analyst.

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Blaming the layoffs on the Democrats is like blaming Sophie for making a choice.

When you think you're World War II's Patton, but you're really just M*A*S*H's Major Frank Burns.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
