Buddhist, meteorologist, data scientist, @, fan of nerdy media like Doctor Who, probably not that interesting. I like translating ancient texts in my spare time, so I am super-boring. AuDHD so I am super-awesome. "Woke" af (that means "as foretold")

Hundreds of protestors march from the site where an ICE agent shot a father in the Bronx on 10/8 to the hospital where he was being held. Defund and abolish ICE. Chinga la migra. 🧵 of photos...

My MAGA focus group felt betrayed by tariffs, high gas prices, and inflation. I asked if there was any way Republicans could win back their support, and they replied only if they could prove that the pain had fallen harder on Black people.

Friends, if you’re gonna post a link to an article, read the article. Not doing so is enshittification. Really. It’s not spreading the word; it’s making the word meaningless.

There is so much amazing crop art this year at the Minnesota State Fair focused on the resistance to the ICE occupation we faced, this one in particular had me choked up.

You know that scene when Magneto was walking over an abyss but creating the path out of metal surrounding him as he walked, with him hardly even noticing that he was doing it as he commanded Sabertooth? That's saṅkhāra/karma/cetanā

The person organizing this conference that Greg Bovino is speaking at is Martin Sellner, a neo-Nazi activist. Sellner, among other things, corresponded and agreed to meet with the man who went on to murder 51 worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, NZ in 2019 www.theguardian.com/world/2019/m...

Often anti-vaccine papers are quietly retracted and the authors keep plodding along. We should spread the word when it happens.

Back in 2021 I requested that this paper be retracted: "Vaccines and sudden infant death: An analysis of the VAERS database 1990-2019 and review of the medical literature" Finally it has been removed Took them long enough #vaccineswork

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

When you hear that (according to the HHS) “At least one American who was a passenger aboard the MV Hondius has tested positive for hantavirus, and another has shown mild symptoms,“ be thankful, yes, just be thankful, be thankful that they are bothering to test at all.

Doctors say that a Vitamin K injection given at birth saves the lives of hundreds of newborns. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for "further study" says the injection can create mitochondrial challenges. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Also, it's wild that Weiss that this would work. She is aware there's a thing called "Internet," right? Also the DOJ "redactions" on Epstein files can be removed by Photoshop or even just copying and pasting the "redacted" test. The slackstick would be hilarious if it didn't deal with such horror

If we feel like we really relate to each other, and vibe together harmoniously, you should probably look into whether or not you have autism and/or ADHD. Which is meant as a joke, but also, look into it if that's the case.

Just so we're all clear, shutting down the federal government was their goal. The GOP wants to replace democracy with some form of authoritarianism and getting rid of the federal government is a critical step towards that goal. They're going to do everything they can to never let it open ever again.

My cat is very frustrated that I don't do exactly what she wants me to do exactly when she wants it. Which, legit. I know I signed up to be a servant when I took her in, and I'm not quite up to her standards. (She's still happy though.)

I am really uncomfortable with how long it's been since I came across something and thought, "This cannot possibly be true," fact-checked it, and found it wasn't. And this is another thing that isn't that. This is a real thing that happened.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
