Look at us as a species.

Seriously, look at us.

Would you (from an extraterrestrial POV) want to contact us?

(TBF, my radical take is that First Contact has happened on this planet. Just not with humans. Probably with the other, more sensible lifeforms.)

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Kamala Harris was dealt an enormously difficult hand in the 2024 election. For the most part she played it well—and almost won. Why does her memoir feel like another defeat?
