Make no mistake, if you support these guys you are complicit in the deaths that will come.

“My 11 brothers and sisters, we all had measles and it was a great week” RFK Jr. said, describing the cure for measles as “chicken soup and vitamin A.”

People are laughing but this makes sense. All the movies I see show that aliens can speak English, so of course they would focus on the US, UK, AUS and that one cold country up north...the moose one. You know what I mean.

I guess Pork = "things that make life better for us and that improve society". That sheep one sounds sus but considering this source it's probably something critical.

you would never imagine that the house is run by republicans the way fox news presents the spending bill, now that president musk is opposed

Superman is a lame character. He is like the annoying kid on the playground when you played cops and robbers. "I shot you." "Nuh uh. I have a shield." "Ok these bullets are armor piercing." "It's a magic shield so I'm safe." 🙄 Gee, I wonder if kryptonite will factor in to the plot?

This new raw milk fetish on the right is so bizarre. Humans don't need to drink milk so pasteurizing it doesn't remove anything you need. "This person would drink their own urine if the other side told them not to" is an old joke but damn it's accurate.

Hey corporate media, Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.

Eugenics is the central planning of biology. Doomed to failure.

The tech bro fascination with eugenics is so on brand. The idea that you could make accurate, actionable predictions from individual genotypes (with all their complex, non-linear interactions) from averaged, linearly modeled population-level genomic statistics is just another big data fantasy

Ah I see. So when Trump suddenly calms down with the tariff rhetoric this will be why, approval and special benefits. Then his followers will claim 7D chess and celebrate his amazing negotiating skills.

Remember all those concerns about Donald Trump mixing politics and personal business? The ones that dogged his entire first term? CREW found that Trump's company *just* applied for a trademark in Mexico. www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Hot take perhaps, but given the terrible quality of our primary education system I'm not sure how good of citizen you can be without additional education. People can sleep walk through HS and without college to reinforce concepts such as using actual sources for information it's no wonder that

we are in a situation where millions will accept a random Instagram video or the ramblings of a former heroine junkie with brain worms as "evidence". It's not a coincidence that the powers that be are hostile to the very concept of education. We need to make everyone repeat high school.

Theology question. If you turn holy water into something else does it stay holy? Like what if you used it to brew tea? Or maybe cook pasta? Does the pasta come out as holy pasta or is it just a little bit holy because it's only a small amount of water in it? If so then it's kind of like homeopathy.

Seriously. We are so accustomed to having two (or more) justice systems in the US that nobody even mentions that the killer of a major CEO faces a regional manhunt but if most of us are shot the cops would show up and shrug "Well, crimes are hard to solve but we will try."

It doesn't need to be eugenics (though intelligence does have a genetic component). If the satire is easier to swallow then consider that a family full of people who don't want to be educated will tend to have children who grow up with the same ideas.
