This man cannot for the life of him figure out how to get this Epstein thing to go away & watching him crash out so hard over it makes it that much more hilarious.
this will surely make it go away

I shared this paper with a fellow science geek friend, and they texted back
Welp! Anti-vaxxers can count themselves safe from this vaccine if it ever comes to market, since they will have no teeth left floss from avoiding Fluoride😭😅🤪
Y’all. They used dental floss on mice.... for vaccine delivery!!!
Not kidding. This is the type of research that keeps me so excited about science and innovation and why we should not be defunding science.

I think that it’s because to white supremacists Epstein was a load-bearing pillar in their white supremacist narrative. Trump’s actions are a betrayal not because they care about child sex trafficking—they clearly do not—but because it betrays the architecture of their white supremacist view.
Genuinely can't believe that Epstein is the thing that got traction against Trump, as opposed to his lawlessness, his insistence on destroying the American economy, etc., but ok.

American liberals be like: "We've lost decency. We've lost civility. We used to be a nation of law and order. Before trump was elected, everyone was nice!"

Yeah, bruh. A country built on the genocide of Native Americans, and the enslavement and segregation of Black folks, was definitely a paradise!

The news media has always accepted these rambling answers as legitimate.

Because they want to be invited back to the White House and rely on that access for their literal careers.

This will only get worse as the media continues to support and advance Project 2025.
Trump on Epstein: I don’t really follow that too much. It’s sort of a witch hunt. Just a continuation of the witch hunt. The witch hunt you should be talking about is that they caught President Obama absolutely cold.

Brett Hankison violated Breonna Taylor’s civil rights. Now, he must do his time and reckon with the truth that her life mattered. But this moment is not enough. We will continue to demand justice for every Black woman who’s been told her life doesn’t. Say her name: Breonna Taylor.

I think this approach is the best one I've seen.
NSF staff release their appeal—slightly different format than the declarations of dissent from EPA/NIH/NASA; a more formal petition to Congress to redress attacks on the agency and its employees. 149 signatories (48 named)

related, I just laughed aloud reading a filing that included the line "that would be an excellent argument [...] but for the fact that its premise is obviously wrong"
I used to tell my students: A good legal writer can say "fuck this shit" 200 different ways without every saying the words "fuck" or "shit."

good. if you drive into DC for work instead of taking the metro you are Evil
According to Consumer Affairs, the DC area has dethroned Los Angeles for having the worst traffic in the nation. They say the DMV's average commute time is now 33.4 minutes vs. 30.5 in Los Angeles. In 2024 DC was number 2.

On a day that the congress has decided to go on an early recess and take 6 weeks of paid leave it is important to remember that in the U.S there is no federal law that guarantees paid maternity leave or family leave.
Just something to think about in case you need more things to think about today.

I went to college in 1998 and men would go around changing the computer desktop wallpapers everywhere to a countdown to Brittney's 18th birthday.

It seriously haunts me!
What I would love is for everyone to stop acting like this is a problem reserved for a few terrible men because I was alive for both Britney Spears and the Olsen twins becoming legal and a lot of regular-ass men said some fucking AWFUL SHIT
Howard Stern asked Trump how young Trump would go.

When Quivers asks for his “age limit,” Trump starts out by saying he doesn’t have one — but then gives a point of reference that looks not great in any light, saying he would draw a line at “12 year-olds”:

It’s not just that one feels, “Oh wow, you need some help.” This is more at the level of, “Oh, so you betrayed all of the marginalized groups in which you’re a member & now you wanna speak wistfully about it in public?”
I think the fvck not.

For a very long time, the Washington Post was called a white paper in a Black city, and it appears they’re no longer concerned with avoiding that perception.
So.. officially, I'm the last Black staff columnist left in the Washington Post's opinion section.

Yup. Because only 38% of white folk approve of his handling of the economy.

But 51% of white folk still approve of his handling of "immigration." Building concentration camps here and outsourcing camps in other countries, and ICE raids at schools.🤦🏿‍♂️

They've seen all this, and are still on board.
