As info about the Kirk shooter comes out, I think it's important to especially look for solid verification of facts that feel "correct" or that match your preexisting guesses. It's very easy for those to spread like crazy even if they're completely false. (1/3)

The BLS nominee's view that the variability hypothesis is accurate doesn't bother me. There's slightly more genotypic variability in 46XY males than 46XX females and so it wouldn't be surprising for there to also be slightly more phenotypic variability. HOWEVER,

I find it hilarious that he thinks his watch's price is obnoxious but not his $12k jacket.
I'm pretty sure that if we exclude my keep-me-alive-during-stupid-hobbies motorcycling and mountaineering gear, the priciest piece of clothing I own is a $325 suit jacket I needed for a presentation at work.

Newsmax Host Greg Kelly is having a bad day.
The pro-Trump pundit got paint on his $12,000 “custom made Brioni jacket with Hermès lining with solid gold button” and his $30,000+ Patek Philippe Nautilus watch.

This Day in Labor History: April 17, 1937. Tobacco workers in Richmond, Virginia went on strike in what became pioneering civil rights labor organizing in the South, laying the groundwork for the rise of the Black labor struggle after World War II. Let's talk about this little known action!!!

I find it hilarious when I'm at CVS buying adderall and sudafed and I have to sign the "I'm not gonna make meth with this pseudoephedrine" thing. Yeah, it's not all that necessary to break out the chemistry set when you're already handing me a bottle of the next best thing.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

There's a Business Insider YT video where a CBP officer says some counterfeit makeups contain cadmium, and to emphasize its danger, he says it's used in nuclear reactors. Which is true, technically speaking, but so is water.
(Cadmium may be poisonous, that's just a terrible explanation of why.)

So, ending birthright citizenship is just a precursor to putting anyone they want in camps, right? They're definitely going to try to have it be a retroactive change. Once being born in the US doesn't give citizenship, most people won't be able to solidly prove that they're citizens. 1/3

The fact that Netanyahu’s view of the “ceasefire” included strikes on military targets still being allowed is really telling about who he wants to kill during the rest of the war.
Not that there was any doubt, to be clear. That bit was just a very clear illustration of it.

I know we joke a lot about the price of eggs, but we all know it’s a joke, right? We know this isn’t about eggs, right? We all agree that, even if the price of eggs suddenly went down, Trump would still be a fascist, right? And fascism would still be bad, right? Even if eggs were free, right? Right?
