We may detect bullshit, yet inevitably face Brandolini's Law: “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than the energy expended to produce it.” An effect magnified by bullshit amplifiers within corporate media, and on social media platforms.

#QuackAlert Alec Zeck is an Army systems engineer and “Olympic-level handball player.” Not a medical doctor. He may be a chiropractor. This is not made clear. What's clear is that he is a snake-oil salesman and grifter. 2/2 www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2021...

Dude is incapable of education, but difficult human births are unusual amongst primates because of evolved upright walking and larger human heads, hence our species babies have to rotate awkwardly through the birth canal. If that's “god's glory” at work, god's a total bastard. #obstetricaldilemma

Is it just me, or do these two look uncannily like Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi in about a decade's time? #Doppelgängers

“Cough up, gov, or give back the bags of fruit!”

Disrated, declassed, disgraced, novice commoner Andrew Windsor now faces the ultimate indignity. Forced to pay his tailor's bill.

(If I recall my P.G. Wodehouse, the greatest humiliation for the English upper classes).

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia.

I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

Local elections shape our communities, but when one candidate can outspend everyone else by $240K, it shows why we need to keep fighting to get big money out of politics. Local elections shouldn’t be for sale.

Tech guy sinks $250K into Seattle suburb’s council elections

Jeff Lyon's spending is extraordinary, especially in a city of less than 10,000 voters where the biggest news in recent years was the closure of a garden store.

Here are my three truths about climate:
1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

President @barackobama.bsky.social is back on the campaign trail and it’s a reminder of how much leadership grounded in hope and decency still matters today.

I worked for him during some of his toughest fights, and the lessons I learned about public service & perseverance are still with me today.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.
