In the sciences, the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man- Galileo
People have told me “Hey republicans aren’t all ignorant. There are republican doctors, lawyers, CEOs, see what I mean?”

So THAT’S why we have ivermectin, Rudy Giuliani and Ronald Rump

Delusion is when the stop light is red and you tell the cop it was green.

You know you’re right but still get a ticket, then fire the cop, get the ticket reversed and eliminate all stop lights in the city.

The light was still red, asshole.

VPN, Proton email, Signal messaging, 2FA, extra long random passwords, get off Meta, Twitter, air gapped computers … let’s see, what am I missing…

While all people are created equal (nature), we’ve really messed up how we’ve raised them (nurture). These problems didn’t start with Rump but are the sum total of our false beliefs, blind spots, laziness, poor education, poor thinking skills and not eating enough broccoli.

If you haven’t already it’s time to permanently log off meta products.

If you want to show off vacation pictures, invite people over for a slideshow.
It looks like a bribe and a signal to every company that corruption is the name of the game.

After Meta pays to play, what does Mark Zuckerberg expect as a return on this investment?
Exclusive: Trump signed an agreement that would require Meta to pay $25 million to settle a lawsuit. The president sued in 2021 after his accounts were suspended.

After Monday and if Cash Patel takes charge, the FBI will simply be enforcers of Rumps knee-jerk vendettas. They will become government thugs.

Senators, if you vote yes on Cash, you, and we, will no longer be safe. And the people will do something about it. Vote no.

VIP military transport in DC. Who gets to ride those other than the president and vice president?

Rump doesn’t get credit for doing anything clever. He’s a dullard; too lazy to think, to petulant to be kind, to narcissistic to care and very easily led around by his nose.

He’s also not in charge. No one is. Each person he hires is out for themselves. Get them fired one by one.

Look up DeepSeek the Chinese AI firm. They just embarrassed the entire world’s AI industry. Tech dudes lost billions of $

They are currently undergoing a DOS attack to stop people from registering. Take your time and register. It is an open source AI.

I have a relative who says: releasing the J6 guys is ok because Biden pardoned cop killers.

Not the sharpest knife, not the brightest bulb, half a brick short of a full load, a few cards short of a full deck, fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down

It is hard to get off the polarization bandwagon both parties have created. It is to their advantage to trigger an emotional response - you'll donate. I say dial it back with a little understanding.

It must be some kind of record to go from tech hero to neo-hitler in a months time. I understand DT has been coaching him.
Let this new AP poll sink in:

President Elon Musk's polling is deeply under water, 36% favorable vs 52 unfav.

Policies and big cuts also unpopular; majorities of Americans want MORE spending on

- Social Security
- Education
- Assistance to poor
- Medicare
- Medicaid

Now that the Biden weather modification crew has moved out, southern states won’t be getting the hurricanes. A win-win.

DT will no longer be talking about egg prices. His promises are empty. His technical solutions foolish.
The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Data, real data, is a wonderful thing.
NASA data shows that the rate of global warming over the past 15 years was about 9 times as high as between 1880 and 1970!

There is more and more evidence that the rate of global warming has doubled since 2010!

Don't obey unconstitutional orders. Certain folks in Idaho have lived by this mantra for decades so I bet they're all on our side now. 😉

Thank you Governor Pritzker.

Where are all the “constitution is everything “ republicans now?

I’m thinking they never got past the 2nd amendment. You know, reading is hard.

It’s good they’ll be getting work in the fields now that the military will be guarding the border.
