HEDY LAMARR escaped from her Nazi husband by disguising herself as her own maid, became a Hollywood star, then co-developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes - the principles of which are incorporated into today’s Bluetooth and GPS technology.

Hell of a lady.

Peter principle - Wikipedia

While brushing my teeth I realized who loves AI. It's Peter. It is the supervisor who doesn't know how to do anything & doesn't want to admit it or bother learning something new. He can take delegation to the next level get rid of the staff soaking up the payroll.

That's why every election for the foreseeable future must be driven by massive turnout to make it too big to rig. Happened a couple of weeks ago in Hungary and nobody thinks the opposition was not trying to cheat. Hell everybody from Russia, the US GOP including CPAC were trying their best.

I'd say this is a lie, but you'd have to have a IQ for it to be a lie.

And you don't.

This is just Jew Hatred thinly disguised.

These losers do this all the time in Washington too. People from rural counties that have, like, eight people and fifty cows in them complaining about being "ruled from Seattle."

I don't know what to tell you, bud! 52% of the state's population lives in the Seattle metro! That's democracy.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

God, I hope the average Californian is smart enough to find Steyer sus. He has spent hundreds of millions of his own money in his quest for power - and that begs the question "WHY".

If it was just altruism, he would just be spending his billions helping people. No, he wants power.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

The Virginia redistricting was put to the voters, the Texas redistricting was not, but do tell me more about "democracy" you dumb fucking MAGAts.

Dems have tried to convince the GOP to federally mandate independent commissions but they didn’t want to give up all of their gerrymandered states. They laughed as Dems used independent commissions while they stole votes. Maybe this is what it takes to get them to approve fair voting nationwide,

Yes, we know. We've been screaming about this for years. People who refuse to wear respirators in public spaces are fully on board with this eugenics platform. Eventually, health vulnerability comes for all of us. Many are born with it.

Dear #MedSky

I visited an elderly relative in hospital last night.

She was drowsy, and wearing a surgical mask… a flimsy defence against…

STAFF

Yes. Unmasked staff.

If you see a mask, please wear a respie!

If you don’t see a mask, wear a respie anyway! It’s the professional thing to do.

One "side" forced a member of their party with credible allegations against him to resign.

The other put a felon in the White House.

It’s quite a thing to see the “progressive” left rally behind the billionaire who has never held public office instead of the son of immigrants who grew up w 3 sisters in a 1 bdrm apt & has dedicated 35 years to fighting for the people.

Brb, looking up the definition of “oligarchy” & “fighter”…

Screenshot of a The Globe and Mail article titled “The long and costly shadow of COVID-19,” by health columnist André Picard.

Main image shows a large outdoor installation of hundreds of red cots arranged on grass, each with a pillow, symbolizing people affected by long COVID. A person walks among the cots.

Caption explains the display represents millions living with post-infectious illness, set up near the Washington Monument in May 2023.

The long and costly shadow of COVID-19

"An estimated 400 million people in the world have suffered from long COVID since the pandemic began"

"Long COVID has a health system and economic impact that is similar to stroke or multiple sclerosis, but has not sparked the same response"

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
