I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

the goal of going to an airport is to leave the airport as swiftly as possible. as douglas adams put it, there is a reason no one has ever invented the phrase "as pretty as an airport."

It remains notable that The Onion — The Onion! — has had a stronger moral compass and more clear set of values in this moment than nearly every powerful and well-funded institution in American life.

We proved ourselves willing to languish in legislative miasma, and to permit abhorrent misinformation to lessen our own amorality.

If MAGA is a plague, then Sandy Hook really was the first slight discoloration, the first cough, the first ghostly ache of inflamed tissue deep within us.

Feeling this on many levels this morning!

That’s not my experience, I’ve actually been noticing a marked increase in the amount of BS since the start of the war

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

It's almost as if everything Trump says about the negotiations bullshit and everyone who believes him is a cultist or a moron.

It’s always “this meeting could’ve been an email” and never “this email could’ve been a fine cask of delectable amontillado wine”

Great to see this out. Practical guidance on how to use protein depletion systems in C. elegans

maybe she just knows that you're going to let it slide, cause she's a gooooooood dog!

Bacteria producing PHB harm C. elegans in multiple ways. Top: Model of how bacterially produced PHB affect C. elegans and which mechanisms can be alleviated by nuc-1 knock out. PHB, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate; Dar, deformed anal region. Bottom: Transmission electron micrograph of bioplastic polyhydroxybutyrate granules filling the intestine of C. elegans.

Some #bacteria polymerize excess carbon into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable storage polymer. This study shows that #PHB -producing bacteria kill #Celegans nematodes by disrupting pharyngeal & intestinal function @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4cFAwDz

Don’t forget the basic research that made it all possible. Ozempuc originally comes from discoveries from Gila monster venom.

You think the Pope is weak on crime? You should see what Jesus did for a thief.

The idiom "screwed the pooch" should forever be replaced with "fucked the couch"

Example usage: JD Vance and the negotiators really fucked the couch on this one.

Okay, sure, but there are five whole continents where Vance didn’t take an L this week.

If you're one of aides, are you just guzzling Maalox while these interviews happen?

I do think the tendency to yeet sex pests out of the democratic tent is an unalloyed good.
