10/10 headline. 🤣

isn’t it disturbing how literally all social platforms amplify hatred and anger just because it keeps people engaged

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

For anyone else dealing with this listening annoyance, you can disable Apple Music’s track crossfade feature. Having it on makes playlists less choppy, but it ruins albums with seamless track transitions (like Dark Side). Here’s the instructions support.apple.com/en-us/105067

Got banned from r/stupidfuckingliberals (don’t ask me why reddit thought to show me that cesspool) for saying statistics are hard. Serious snowflake behavior from the party of free speech and thick skin.

Seems like BlueSky likes infrared photography as much as I do! Thanks for the love on the last post. Here is another shot from White Pocket, AZ in 720nm infrared. Shot on my Canon R5C…with a few mods from Kolari. #photography #infrared #arizona

Went to White Pocket with my new infrared rig and shot the iconic lone tree. #photography #infrared #arizona

True story. I made a Proud Boys chat implode once by sharing a variation of this one. RTVRN. 😂

RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

Reminder that gallows humor is only appropriate if it's a subject where you're the one standing in the gallows.

No sign DOGE significantly cut spending or the deficit in February according to CBO. Federal outlays grew 7% compared to last year and the deficit grew 5%.

This is hilarious if you’re not trying to justify fascism. This is the idea that persecution is people wanting freedoms and the right to exist. That one group FEELS persecuted because others don’t think they should get to design the world around their supremacist ideas around race and gender.

There needs to be a downvote button on every editorial or opinion piece. I’m a glutton for punishment and keep reading WSJ Opinion Pieces.

So I guess Politico’s opinion pieces don’t bother citing facts or actual studies…just polls of the same Americans who think vitamin A is going to prevent measles… apple.news/Am5BKqmO1TOq...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

New Cato research brief: when nursing homes required staff to get the COVID vaccine, quit rates rose only modestly. Meanwhile, "for every two facilities that imposed a mandate, the mandates saved approximately one life. Given that a typical facility has only 100 residents, this is a large effect."

In case anyone was wondering why the op-ed section in the @wsj.com is filled with such steaming hot garbage, please see the first sentence of this paragraph in their op-ed editor’s bio.

DID YOU KNOW that you can get a well reviewed stun gun on Amazon (or wherever) for <$30 and/or a high-powered pepper spray device with UV tracking dye for about $10 apiece - and furthermore, did you know that holidays are approaching and that these things fit inside stockings for women of all ages

Current vibe for some reason.
