Anti-science folks only reject science that is inconvenient for them. American life is profoundly full of science. Simply driving across a bridge is a belief in science.

Yeah, wearing a mask to prevent spreading a deadly infection to your neighbors is totally the same as a policeman wearing a mask so you can't identify him when he harasses or shoots someone. You're a genius.

Professionally, I try to explain the war and its consequences in objective terms: the logic might prove flawed, but surely it exists. And yet I can't escape the conclusion that a lot of the people leading us to war are simply underqualified and unserious. They don't have a clue what they are doing.

Just got teary over a thank you from someone. Don't ever hesitate to tell someone what they did mattered; often it hits at just the right time.

β€œGreat Man” theories of history may have been wrong but β€œThat F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.

George W. Bush Can Suck It He didn’t throw shade at Trump; he whitewashed authoritarianism.

Wrong question.
Voting is a right. Why does the GOP want to interfere with the right to vote? They can't answer that question.
They know that it is poor people who typically cannot provide the documents. They know poor people vote for Democrats. That's why they want to interfere with voting rights.
