It’s Friday… And damn it, let’s dance! This is a Jack & Jill competition where they are matched randomly. The song is random. The dance is entirely improvised…

Interesting side of Hitler I was unaware of "Arguably Adolf Hitler’s greatest passion and pastime outside of his quest for world domination was his obsession with architecture and urban design." Here he is with a model of the 330-foot high triumphal arch he wanted. hitler-pics.com/2023/05/06/h...

Terrifying footage from Nepal. Per @watershedlab.bsky.social seems likely the result of a glacier collapse. Mountain glaciers are increasingly unstable in our warming world. Hope that rescues are successful and recovery possible. 😔

Come election time the Democrats should be able to just run clips like this - the worst person possible. Again.

"You were scaring people. That was the job of CNN" -- RFK Jr attacks Dana Bash over her claim that the covid vaccine worked. Bash ends up telling him to stop and tries to pivot to measles.

The Norwegian Football Association donated all proceeds and ticket revenues (totaling over $350,000) from their World Cup qualifying match against Israel to Doctors Without Borders for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Guess which team I’m rooting for . . .

Very good analysis of why U.S.-Israeli air power has not destroyed most of Iran’s missile capabilities.

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social

There has been a lot of discourse about Iran retaining 75% of its prewar mobile launchers and 70% of its prewar missile stockpiles despite months of intense American/Israeli bombardment but history would tell us this is actually a structural feature that refuses to go away. My latest ⬇️

Look the White House/War Department cannot reasonably have been expected to anticipate the Iranians would deploy sea mines. They don't exist in Call of Duty.

yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)

I am very tired of RFK Jr.'s bullshit. My mother died from cervical cancer. She was only 37. I was 8. An HPV vaccine means fewer 8 year old boys burying their mother. I went to bed crying, saying "mom" every night for months so fuck this lying piece of shit who is killing us.

Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH@gavinyamey.bsky.social

RFK Jr *lies* when he says cervical cancer risk is increased in women who get the HPV vaccine. New study: "States with high vaccination rates have seen the biggest drop in cervical cancer, while states with low vaccination rates have had little to no progress" www.cidrap.umn.edu/human-papill...

I'm sure that now there is a power gap in Iran, they'll stop and have democratic elections to figure out who would be best to lead them through this war. That's how it works, right?

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.
