Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

On this day in 1954, children received the first polio vaccine. Hopefully, this won't be the year the vaccine is taken away.

A "Marxist" told me he prefers Trumpists because they don't s%&t all over them. Maybe that is because he doing exactly what they want him to do, not oppose them.

The Roman empire saw legal innovations, but it also cemented the severe gap between the rights of rich and poor, which ultimately led to its fall. Something, the current administration is working on.

Yankees fan here. Peter’s right
I am against this. The Yankees are the Universal Villains, the Cobra Kai (original version) or the Omega Theta Phi fraternity of Baseball. They should be clean shaven, perfectly tailored, and physically intimidating. Then they get beaten by mutts and misfits. It is The Way.
The Yankees are getting rid of their outdated facial hair policy.

In 1980, the U.S. won the miracle on ice against Russia. Now it has a president that wants to turn the U.S. into a client state of Russia.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.
Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.
