Faith in humanity’s progress requires both a sense of humor and willingness to sacrifice.

Notre Dame won’t share football $ with ACC then gets upset when they promote a member who does. Hard to keep a straight face.

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

Amazing what the richest man in the world works feels entitled to do
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Who says paleontologists don’t have a sense of humor?
The "thagomizer" is the name for the spiked tail of a stegosaurid dinosaur. It didn't have a name until the cartoonist Gary Larson published this comic about it, named it, and the scientific community just accepted it and started using it, too.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

We need to talk more about modern mass-shooting as self-glorifying terrorism (not my concept) not political violence.
PBS News is doing more to expose the facts than the FBI…
📌 Many young extremists who grew up on social media and never knew life without school shootings now see public violence as a way to go viral.
So the chaotic confusion we are seeing right now is possibly by design.

Found the schadenfreude thread I was looking for
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Excellent thread
Charlie Kirk wasn’t a political activist.
He was a hate-monger masquerading as an activist.
Wanting gays to be stoned to death isn’t a political position - it’s hate.
Saying George Floyd had it coming and Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, isn’t a conservative position - it’s hate
(1/5)
