Zelenskyy is so freaking hot right now. He crushed that interview with the Naive and innocent Lex Fridman. Why can the US not have a Zelenskyy-tier leader in office??? The guy is straight up Churchill-reincarnated.

Here’s my problem with the government funding medical research: These universities and corporations take the federally subsidized research and either license it, or patent it in some way to charge sick people huge fortunes for care. Even psychiatric drugs like Vyvanse cost $600+. Why???

Do women experience the “post nut clarity” phenomenon when they too bust? The feeling of remorse or regret for busting, especially given the risk of pregnancy or STDs when you 100% are not prepared for fatherhood? Does this exist for women in an equally strong way?

I hope our corporate oligarchic overlords spend $500 million to try and destroy the anti-insurance and healthcare movement in the US, only to have the suspect WIN against all the weight of the justice system that represents THEM against US. These people who rule are parasitic vermin. We are tired.

I’m chilling in my Assad bunker with Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost staring at me from within the mirror. The peasants have turned on me and I am a poor man living in Russia. Feel sad for my bunker owning life.

Welp, I probably just pissed off my history instructor by writing a nine paragraph essay on my final exam. Poor guy has to read an indulgent explanation on the causes of WWII, the strategies of the Allies, and its impact at home. How is this even remotely possible in a mere two paragraphs?

Remember Democrats... Deny, deny, deny, and deny some more. Never admit any guilt for anything. Fight until your opponent capitulates. Sue EVERYONE for even the slightest thing. Assume the WILDEST thing took place, then deny some more. Recipe for getting elected in the US.

Nothing is more evil than power residing in the hands of the few over the many. Unprincipled leadership that derides the public at large, while masquerading as the entity of hope, will forever stain the ambitions of progress. Unless that change derives from the flame of hope itself.

I’m not fat shaming anyone, but if you love your country and want to help everyone with medical costs, lose weight by changing your diet to eating smaller amounts daily. No soda, fast food, snack foods, except on occasion. We need a JFK level program to encourage and reward healthy Americans.

$100 says diarrhea-fountain Repubelicans start wanting to take away our guns if CEOs and greedy Grima Wormtongue oligarchs and SuperPAC donors start getting shot. We care more for our killed overlords and satan worshipping billionaires and millionaires than our own dead kids in schools… fuck me…

Could CEOs of Fortune 500 companies create a nonprofit health insurance company to bring their costs down and help their employees’ survival are productivity? Or does government make this illegal?

Hey everyone... please try this recipe. Claire Saffitz, if you can see this... you are an angel for showing me how to make homemade croissants and the most godsmackingly delicious baguettes. I don't know HOW the French figured out bread, but I thank them! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022...

When the Jetstream/AMOC collapses, where will all that energy be moving next? Will it simply sit in near permanent heat domes that reach 100+ degree and bake the equatorial waters where massive biodiversity exists? Will it move to the rainforests and completely wipe them out? Scary stuff to think.

I am a huge believer that Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is politically consequential to their own survival now. Voters absolutely must have a majority of their financial needs secured before more altruistic agendas can be campaigned on. So focus on the messaging on where we need to go economically.

Crazy thought: the US became the global hegemon after WWI, basically. If war between Russia, China and the US and her allies broke out, would India be the most likely winner in that scenario? It has the population and growing industries to become a major beneficiary from a decline of US and China.

Russia is the Sick Man of Europe 2.0, China is basically Germany, the US is practically the British Empire, and NATO, AUKUS, and the US led pacific alliance system is similar to the Commonwealth that Britain held, only without imperialistic systems of governance. Only corporate entanglement.

I'm reading about the leadup to WWI from the Moroccan Crisis of 1905 through the 1909-1913 rampup in alliance building, all of which culminated in the war literally being inevitable by SPRING of 1914, months before the Archduke was assassinated in June. The rhythms match in context with each other.

While our bodies seem static, our cells are constantly changing shape or on the move during tissue homeostasis or wound repair & even more dramatically during embryonic development, during events like gastrulation. Defining how cellular machines mediate these events is a key task for our field 1/n

Every year we have more and more problems piling onto young people, with zero policies to help them build their lives. Institutions are elitist and heavily favor Ivy League degrees over personal talent and work ethic. I guess the goal is to end retirement.

Will Bluesky be building an AI moderation system to manage content and account behavior? Will Bluesky build some form of verification system to prove user identity and highly encrypt the data so foreign governments are not making 100 million accounts to spread diarrhea onto the platform? Thanks.

Trump will do this in the first few months of his administration, potentially the first week. His goal? Cutting out ANY information being reported by "major" media from being received by the public. Only friendly news orgs will have access to information. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Democrats will continue to fail and lose until they get off their asses and go on alternative media to spread their message of how they want to make lives better. Interviews that last 21 minutes CAN NOT compete with a three hour long-form conversation and exchange of ideas. Learn to fucking talk.

How many criminals are going to run for president after this year? I'm actually kind of excited to see the amount of batshit crazy criminals that run for president because it helped Trump drop all charges for crimes he committed while president and before lol. It's kinda beautiful if you think.

Anyone bake bread? My poolish didn't smell the way I was hoping. It smelled like a strong budweiser. I looked at another recipe and saw that a poolish is SUPPOSED to smell a little alcohol-ey. Does anyone know? #baking #bread

Daisy Harris, an A.I.-generated granny unveiled this month by a British phone company, is part of its efforts to curb phone scammers. Her cat is named Fluffy, and she’d love to tell you about her knitting hobby.

nytimes.comAn A.I. Granny Befuddles Phone ScammersDaisy Harris, an A.I.-generated English granny, has been stymying scammers with meandering, time-wasting conversations. But can she actually make a dent in the flood of fraud?

Just heard someone get screamed at for calling someone "Latinx." Can we simply say that this is unpopular and an over-intellectualization of Latinos? Please? It makes you sound obsessed with political correctness and race. Let's focus on the median incomes of workers now. If you care, of course...

How does this guy afford coke? Dude makes $174,000 and can afford to pay 17 year old girls for sex, plane tickets, and one of the most expensive substances on earth? Where does he get the money? Does daddy give him money to cover the weight loss drug?

Mitch McConnell should run for another reelection just so he can lose on purpose to a Democrat. That would be biblical. Kentucky already has a Democrat governor. Why not a senator that makes sense for the state that is fairly Bill Clinton-esque?

My brother has a daughter. How do these fathers explain the normalization of sexual assault and rape to their daughters? That is the lasting impact of this election, the normalization of violence against women. IDK if some of this reaction was the result of metoo on some innocent men?... was it?

How do I join the #Democratic illuminati? Do I have to have an Ivy League education in order to one day be in a leadership position? Or do I have to have a certain identity? Or can I just be a loving, caring, and accepting individual who understands Midwest voters that are my neighbors?

Real time: Grilled cheese sandwiches, which cheese for best goo? I personally love sharp or medium cheddar. I'll pour a half tablespoon of water into the heated pan after both sides are toasted, then cover until cheese becomes lava gooey. Try it if you haven't. I highly recommend red chili flakes.

It's impossible to criticize when the party you are in believe being gay is the reason God is punishing America with hurricanes. Trump knows how gay Lindsey Graham is and uses his weird fetish for young men against him.

Kim Jong-Un’s spokesperson thinks Lindsey needs to tone it down a little.

How does the Democratic Party actually divorce from corporate America while still maintaining large campaign financing? How could they ever compete against Republican pockets through SuperPACs and PACs if the party chooses a charismatic economic populist? Democratic elite need an Ivy League divorce

How does the Republican party, or more precisely MAGA populists, intend to enforce gender norms in bathrooms? This is a hill they are willing to die on, apparently. Do they intend to inspect genitals if the woman looks too "handsome?" Will we have a genital police state for bathrooms?

What is up with fake accounts pretending to be women messaging me? Do they not know I will always ignore? Who still falls for the fake lady account reaching out for nefarious reasons?
