So…the guy who has been financing a slaughter in Gaza, extra-judiciously blowing boats out of the water, and sending unwanted troops into his own cities is outraged he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize?

A whole lot of people just got circautism.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Don’t count out the LA Times. Soon-Shiong is working overtime to fly that paper into a mountainside.

I’m pretty sure Habeas Corpus is cousins with Prima Facie, who used to date Mens Rae.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

In order for Trump to implement the Insurrection Act, doesn’t there have to be an actual insurrection? If so, I’m preeeeety sure that some guy wearing a frog costume in front of a federal building in Portland doesn’t qualify…

This article is such an on-point follow-up to Doctorow’s original piece on “enshittificafion” but we CAN radically change things by NOT shopping Amazon and NOT watching Amazon Prime. I stopped a year ago and life goes on. I neither miss them nor need them.

Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish?

Sick of scrolling through junk results, AI-generated ads and links to lookalike products? The author and activist behind the term ‘enshittification’ explains what’s gone wrong with the internet – and ...

But the “real cops” should be defending us from them. I’m tired of local law enforcement shrugging and muttering “what’re ya gonna do?”

And let’s remember these are mostly poorly trained bail bondsmen and other randos working per-head contracts that let them deploy deadly force on our streets. These lowlifes are incentivized by the federal government to terrorize our communities. Unbelievable.

Reading about the Riyadh Comedy Festival and doing the opposite of laughing. What a letdown.

Well, he did sabotage the Paris Peace Talks to get elected, which prolonged and expanded the Vietnam War, murdering at least 200,000 Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians in the process.

Then again Trump’s mismanagement of Covid-19 killed at least 1.2 million Americans…

Maybe they call a tie!

Not to speak for Six Days but there TERFs and pro-US labor populists, for example. I mean, we just got done with a nationwide primer on the bizarre politics of the groypers over in the right-o-sphere.

So what’s the deal with the accounts that upvote the troll account’s posts? There are some obvious bots/puppets but then there are what appear to be active accounts that post stuff in direct opposition to the troll’s POV? Doesn’t make sense… but then I’m no BlueSky expert.

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press.

Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.
