This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew.
They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.

The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.

People get all grossed out by scavengers. Dining on the dead.
But carrion doesn't just get up and walk away on its own. And without scavengers...scientists warn of an increase in zoonotic disease. www.sciencenews.org/article/fewe...

Fewer scavengers could mean more zoonotic disease
Scavenger populations are decreasing, a new study shows. That could put human health at risk.

What our public lands will look like once sold off to the highest bidder.
The national park of Zhangjiajie in central China is famous for the towering sandstone pillars that inspired the alternate universe in the 2009 blockbuster “Avatar.” But in recent weeks, the area has become known for its trash-filled caves.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Interesting. I farm 250 miles west of where I live and work, which means I drive across North Dakota, a lot. There are 4 public bathrooms (gas stations) on the route and 2 pit toilets between me and the home farm. Luckily the ditch is always an option. An urban parallel of this sounds terrible.

The United States has oligarchs now.
Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.

The only reason anti-vax attitudes were able to take root in the modern era is because vaccines are so fucking good at their job people forgot why we need them

As I've worked on deleting my tweet history from Twitter, I've been taken aback by how similar my tweets from 2015 are things I find interesting today but would never actually retweet now. I thought I had drastically changed since 2015 but really it's been the world around me that's changed

From @justinling.ca’s fantastic article “In the media, Kennedy is often referred to, simply, as an anti-vaccine activist. But that title doesn’t do him justice. He’s a conspiracy messiah.”
I've spent a brain-bleeding amount of time over the past year thinking about RFK Jr and the unhinged things he believes. I've read his books, spent hours listening to his interviews, dug through the work of his batshit charity. I'm here to tell you:
Fuck!

Finished listening to the audiobook of The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg over the weekend. It had been on my to-read list for quite some time.
The first 1/2 of the book was good - It provided great details into what a habit loop is and how to identify habit loops in your own life.

Einstein was in Uruguay when Germany elected Paul von Hindenburg in 1925. Einstein’s reaction “How our paper heroes will enjoy having persuaded the plain honest German to vote for Hindenburg… Germany: the nation that had its reason beaten out of it with a stick.”
