I literally cannot fathom what he was thinking.

Gavin Newsom sees 10-point net drop in favorability since launching his podcast. Survey finds "the podcast only made 13% of voters have an improved perception of the Governor, with 26% saying that it harmed their perception."

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is learning from Zelenskyy right now. Come time for the midterms, Trump will likely have forced the U.S. into some phony foreign conflict, and try to postpone elections for the same reason. The question is, will the U.S. go full South Korea on that sh*t?

“Was Churchill a dictator?- “The only dictator in the war is Mr. Putin, who poisons exiled Russians on foreign soil and banishes opponents to Arctic prison camps. Call us when he holds a free election.’ www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

One day, Google will put these things back. They may issue apologies or statements explaining their actions, but never forget how hollow their lip service to minorities and other marginalized groups is and always has been.

Remember you are not powerless. We all have our part to play in the resistance. Call your representatives and ask them if they like alternative rock

An interaction I had with a 70+ yr old patient today at work: Pt: "So Trump hasn't outlawed getting vaccines yet, then?" Me: "No, nothing crazy has happened like that yet. 😄" Pt: "Hopefully someone'll k*ll him before it does." Me: 🙃 This nation is a bloody powder keg right now.

Senior Justice Department officials under President Trump have held discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan about the possibility of dropping their corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams of New York, according to five people with knowledge of the matter. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/u...

We know he's definitely gonna do some shit again, so can we please be a bit more like this next time?

Port By The Sea is an AMAZING pilot that deserves to hit a million views. Help Georden & his crew out by watching and spreading it across the seven seas!

Friendly reminder that the entirety of Twin Peaks is now free to watch on Pluto for anyone needing something to bingewatch tomorrow.

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Don't get me wrong, these are accounts I LOVE and they're way funnier than cable news can ever be (although I still follow a number of accounts from those places, too). But I know the news from here on is mostly just going to upset me. I kinda like the idea of this site being a place of peace.

A lot of people have testified to cutting off cable news, but I still follow all of the same political accounts I used to. But maybe I just....shouldn't? Anyone else feel this way, or nah?
