Living in a high trust society is good, actually

it's wild seeing the wheels coming off a guy like trump this badly. after over a decade of this shit, too. one way or the other the billionaire class is icarusing right in front of you, on wings of being way too ravenous, way too off-putting, way too creepy, way too stupid, and way too visible

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Mick Foley really laid it all on the line

Do you know how many civilian cars the U.S. produced between Feb 1942 and August 1945?

139.

Not 139 thousand.

139.

the anti-bedtime right.

Adding to this good thread: train yourself to be happy for other people. Even if it means eating a little shit (I said a *little*.) This is something we train women for specifically & it's one of the reasons men suck. If you can do this it eases all the tasks GLHM lists here.

On the contrary, the most democratic period of the Republic came after ~150 BCE

He just cannot shut up about this. He thinks he's gonna win his catholicism forum war with the fuckin pope

Don't ask them about nuclear power

I like the implication that America showers NASA with money equivalent to the military. God I wish.

Someone should ask him his thoughts on John Paul ii

Rich kid cosplaying as poor energy

Most people aren’t saying they’re broke. Most people are saying EVERYONE ELSE is broke. It’s false belief nurtured by lurid myths that circulate in social and traditional media.

It’s precisely analogous to how most people haven’t been victim to a crime, but believe crime is high in major cities.

The fact that Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish is a straight banger and well worth watching for people of all ages is one of those things that sounds absolutely fake and I can never really begrudge someone for just flat not believing me when I say it.

It's an all timer

The Hungarian public experienced JD Vance for 48 hours and collectively vowed "never again"

:sobbing: the taxation of trade routes is in dispute ::

The People's Republic of Korea is also a presidential republic.

the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing

you can just Not Do That

there is shit that's hard for me! remembering to take in the trash cans is hard! checking the calendar is hard! starting a design doc is hard! not being a sex pest: not that hard

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Trump and his administration do not care about women’s lives. Posting a video of a woman being graphically murdered is yet another form of objectification and dehumanization. The purpose of it was to shock and offend, in order to encourage racism against immigrant men. It is a form of terror.

The fact that someone with the power to do so threatened to bring down the Vatican and i am unhappy about this is just, one of the crazier things in recent history

I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...

Feels like it should be front page news that Trump switched sides and is now explicitly saying he’ll team up with Iran to shake down the rest of the globe

"this must go so hard if you're stupid" has been the key to all of this

This is really what gets me, he became super duper famous from the apprentice, a show where even with the benefits of heavy editing he comes across as very obviously a fucking moron. It makes you feel like an alien to see millions of people being like "wow this guy is a genius!"

My sources are telling me Pope Leo will not report to offseason workouts until he gets a contract extension. The two sides are “miles apart” at the moment.
