TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins?
ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

The surname of Roman emperor Antoninus Pius was derived from his love of a tasty pasty treat that originated in Scotland. Known to the Romans as the Pius Scoticus (Scotch Pie), it was adopted by them after they invaded Caledonia c. 140 AD and soon became a popular delicacy across the entire empire.

Israeli police have arrested Netanyahu spokespeople Yonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein in connection with the Qatargate scandal.
Mounting evidence suggests those close to Netanyahu have been working for Qatar, the country that funded Hamas as it was planning the October 7 attack.

As someone whose PhD was in human population genetics and evolution:
Race is a social construct
Gender is a social construct
Both have biological *components* but are incredibly complex - not neat, discrete, immutable categories
Fascists are the ones denying scientific reality
Race is a social construct

Fascists are the ones denying scientific reality
So the official position of the white supremacist government is, unsurprisingly, that “race is a biological reality.”
Apparently, not believing this is “insane.”
Important to note that for fascists, ALL the identity categories (race, sex, etc.) have to be “real” and frozen so they can manage them
