POTUS appropriately described the US war on Iran as βwarβ and also claims βweβre doing very well on the war frontβ¦ Iβd rate it a 15 (on scale of 10).β
All legacy news orgs are sanewashing Trump and his illegal war.
Thank you @atrupar.com for documenting this insanity.
Thanks!
thank you. I am at peace now but was impeded by it through a lot of my career. I am also startled to see all these names--Trivers, Pinker, Brockman, Summers and others--show up in the Epstein context. It paints my history (and others) with a collectively evil brush, not just a few mean individuals.
The science bros. (Add in Pinker and Trivers to the list at the end of the articles) This is the world I inhabited as a working scientist. No wonder I always felt out of place and blamed my own personality failings. www.science.org/content/arti...
We still Ned to keep our eyes on Minnesota, even with every thing else. This a worthwhile read and not too long.

The liberal white boys are in love with Talarico. They gaga over him and dont even mention Jasmine Crockett. It drives me crazy.
1. Terrible news for trans people in Idaho.
The state's House just passed one of the first private business bathroom bans in the United States.
It allows you to sue any private business that lets trans people pee if you think they're in the wrong bathroom.

I gotta say, "the Pentagon uses a high powered laser to shoot down a party balloon" feels like enough symbolism for awhile. all full up thanks
Huh...the New Yorker writer who wrote the bootlicking profile of Anthropic *AND* who writes about "technology & books" doesn't mention the massive lawsuit against Anthropic for stealing authors' work.
I have heard of a no bill but zero votes is new to me
My sense of Minnesota today is that thereβs less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so itβs not making news.
If you have a few extra bucks to help Minnesota, they still need support
Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all whatβs being done to us.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.
Weβll let the childrenβs words speak for themselves. π§΅
