I find it fascinating how fast certain people demand “criminal investigations” into their opponents… but go silent the second anyone scrutinizes their own wins or their own numbers.

Anyone else feel like most Science research into everything not AI related has slowed to a crawl?
With AI sucking up so much energy, mindshare, and investment $ to build the biggest bubble in history, I feel like it’s doing irreparable damage to the Future.

Work at vital scientific and research institutions like NIH, NSF, and CDC has been halted. The government shutdown is putting our health, our environment, and our future at risk.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:
⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen
Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

Most people have pointed out that Trump was golfing in Palm Beach at the exact moment Mullin posted this, but I will also note that the “work” Trump is doing here is autographing Truth Social posts that have been blown up and printed out.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

It appears that Donald Trump’s angry social media posts have once again landed him in hot water in the courts: The judge said the president and his allies had openly admitted they were withholding funding for SNAP benefits for “political reasons.” trib.al/b6pDD5E

Upon reflection, electing a president who has nothing to lose because he’s been granted immunity and is at death’s door seems like not a great idea

James Watson has died. The last direct living link to Rosalind Franklin, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA and a brilliant crystallographer whose work was critical to this discovery. Her data was stolen by Watson, who was a racist, misogynist eugenicist.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: The Convicted FElon's approval numbers are as low as they were after the J6 insurrection, only 37% approval. The Majority of Americans disapprove of everything that he is doing. The economy, immigration, tariffs, use of ICE & national guard, healthcare & so on.

“Would there be some push, perhaps, in the next 48 hours so Americans don’t go hungry?” the reporter asked.
“Well, here’s the problem,” Vance replied, explaining that in prior shutdowns, “sometimes the president has tried to make the shutdown as painful as possible on the American people.”
