I was thinking of a joke and then the idea of a Katrina level hurricane happening during Trump’s second term just filled me with the greatest dread

Respect

This is a war based on lies

Those poor Hurricanes fans must be so fucking nervous in this intermission. Incredible stuff

“America has the greatest network of reservoirs and freshwater plumbing in the world… so why are its pipes absolutely full of water?”

“America has the greatest road network in the world … [and] includes 10 of the 25 most congested cities.“ Someone in Sean Duffy’s office is both so close and so far from getting it.

InfoWars Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

“The InfoWars of old was only the prototype for the hell I know we can build together: A digital platform where, every day, visitors sacrifice themselves at altars of delusion and misery, their minds fully disintegrating on contact.”

Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.

Is that bad? Seems bad

I want to write a science fiction like Dune or the Hyperion saga, set in the far-flung future. There will be an elite coterie of jannisaries called the White Sox who protect the Space Pope on Vatican Prime.

i do love the Gulf and EU desperately trying to message out "its going to take a while unless you put real people in charge" to the corpse of the American establishment

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Prime Minister Carney and NDP leader Avi Lewis sitting at a table having a meeting.

1/ Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social and I had a warm and productive first conversation today.

I shared the NDP’s concerns about the cost-of-living crisis facing Canadians, including the creepy practice of surveillance pricing.

Ships like that are useful. Ukraine would love to have them

Finland teaches 6-year-olds how to spot disinformation—and they might be better at it than you | Fortune "Media literacy is essential to building societal resilience, and Finland realized this quite early on."

America URGENTLY needs to emulate Finland’s program to teach kids how to spot misinformation & disinformation, especially since the MAHA/MAGA administration is the main purveyor of such dangerous & deadly BS

Do you know of an English language curriculum in media literacy for elementary school students?

Here's a fun thread

I think most Canucks fans are assuming we pick third lol

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

I agree with this. I don’t understand why some public health folks think RFK Jr & his MAHA movement are “acting in good faith” & think they should be welcomed. Their push to dismantle public health & vaccination systems, driving up deadly infectious pediatric diseases, is NOT welcome. Not at all.

Fuckin unbelievable, thanks Jared. It’s the Golden Age of congressional irrelevance.

A cartoon image of a man looking at a butterfly labeled “three carrier groups to Hormuz” and wondering “Is this pivoting to the pacific?”

Three US carrier groups and 10 destroyers blockade Stait of Hormuz — they’ll be “pivoting to the Pacific”any day now I’m sure
