Curious question… How often do you read to learn? Not necessarily textbooks or anything formal education-like… even if it’s fiction. Do you think about the message or storyline as purposeful or is it simply entertainment?
Writers - same question. Are your writings purely entertainment or ?

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Unfortunately, they have their own reality… I’ve made the hard choice to disassociate from them and keep speaking truth (not “my” truth, but what facts support)

I'll summarize the whole podcast genre:

" If you are entertaining, people will listen to you and buy what you are selling. Including politics "

They will not check your background, your education or fact check you

It's a podcast. They are trying to kill time. Entertainment sells.

This is the SEMINAL POLITICAL PODCAST of 2025. Podcasts like this are EXACTLY how young men will consume and understand politics.

Dem strategists should study every single second of it and recognize this is their new reality for reaching young men. Guaranteed.

The joke is on us.

World map with all countries in green except for the United States, symbolizing U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization. Caption from '@IdiotBenevolent' says "The updated World Health Organization map is a sick joke."

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Nsikan Akpan @monscience.bsky.social · Jan 22

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Jane Liebschutz, MD MPH (she/her) @liebschutz.bsky.social · Jan 22

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Admiral Linda Fagan has served our country in uniform for 40 years. She was the first female Commandant of the Coast Guard.

Donald Trump just had her fired by the ACTING DHS Secretary because she will only be loyal to the Constitution.

"Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, in an affidavit given to senators on Tuesday, alleged that the Pentagon chief pick caused his second wife to fear for her safety... Hegseth also stated that women should not have the right to vote or work, according to the affidavit."

Senate learns of new allegations against Hegseth

The Defense secretary nominee's former sister-in-law, in an affidavit, said she witnessed his drunken aggression and that his second wife worried about her safety.

THESE are the violent insurrectionists that Trump pardoned.

Meanwhile, one of Biden's final acts was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress.

Trump protects the lawless & Biden protects law enforcement!

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute."

Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute."

Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."
