Last year I just walked into Costco and asked for a measles booster. I told the pharmacist I was unsure if I was ever given two doses, and she just gave me the shot and my insurance paid for it. I don't know, man, I don't see any downside to getting a booster.
I rarely complain about what the 'mainstream media' is and isn't covering, but the fact that they covering up these absolutely heinous atrocities is maddening. Even compared to glossing over drone-strikes against civilian targets for the past two decades, this is deeply fucked up.
Absolutely sickening shit: the Dena had just participated in international naval exercises *with the US* and was unarmed and the US knew this and sank it anyway and left the survivors to drown
If American institutions were functioning well, that attitude might be justified. But public trust in everything from higher education and large technology companies to science and newspapers has declined in recent years. And this erosion has begun to endanger the status of those institutions, as reflected in Trumpβs campaign against universities. A stronger evangelical presence in elite institutions could strengthen them while addressing polarization and public mistrust. The lack of evangelicals in the halls of power contributes to anti-institutional public sentiment. It also deprives those institutions of an important pool of talent.
Sure this fox may be butchering all the chickens in the henhouse, but why donβt we put some other foxes in control, that will surely address βpolarisation and public mistrustβ, I mumble to myself
Evangelicals are 23 percent of U.S. adults and one of the most loyal Republican voting blocs, with 81 percent backing Donald Trump in 2024. Yet despite six of the nine Supreme Court justices being appointed by Republican presidents, there are no evangelicals on the Supreme Court. This is just one of the many elite institutions in which evangelicals are absent or underrepresented. Evangelicals have excelled in politics, producing figures such as Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana). They are also prominent in well-run and profitable businesses with relatively low cultural impact, such as food processing (Tyson Foods) and retail (Hobby Lobby). But they are all but absent from the leadership of prestigious universities, major foundations, Big Tech companies, leading financial firms and large media companies.
βHey, weβve been loyal to Trump, whereβs our Supreme Court Justice?! Why havenβt we been granted control over levers of power like running universities, big tech, and controlling vast secular media empires?β
βEvangelicals are missing from the halls of power. Thatβs a problem. The lack of evangelical Christians at Americaβs most prestigious institutions fuels mistrust.β Excerpt From βOpinion | Evangelicals are missing from the halls of power. Thatβs a problem.β Aaron M.

I wonder if Claude would be βanxiousβ because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because itβs poisoning the air around data centers or because itβs going to crash the economy or because itβs encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above
A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says βBREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.β
Literally as Iβm arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity
Literally just a repeat of the FAILED doctrine which caused immeasurable harm and suffering throughout the Americas, but with the veneer of 'Democracy vs Communism' stripped away.
Just, fomenting fascism because they generally hang together (and then they hang together).

As someone who's spent a couple/few years in the Gulf:
This is a pretty good (brief) summary, with some context, of the many national security/defense reasons why the Iran strikes are a disaster.
I'd recommend the entire episode (about 20 min.).
It's not like you had to stop saying those things either! Just had to stop saying them in the ways which were hateful and cruel (and in the case of the latter, inaccurate).

This is great viewing. I can't believe how much these politicians talk vaguely about rising anti-antisemitism without ever mentioning Candace Owens, especially as she's no longer under the auspices of Bannon or Shapiro or any other right-wing patriarch (/s).
New "Standing Room Only!" This week, I look at the gender dynamics of the MAGA CatfightΒ© between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk.
These two are peas in a pod: Telling you to be a tradwife while pursuing fancy careers.
But that's why they hate each other.

My guest this week is @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social, an MS NOW reporter who has watched over 70 hours of Candace Owens' show.
In this clip, she explains why Candace rose to fame and why she's starting to get imitators.

Happy Friday! Enjoy my piece about how Kristi Noem was disposable to Trump, despite being the saddest booklicker in his Cabinet.
You can destroy your face to please MAGA, ladies, but it doesn't matter. You're still a woman and they don't respect you.
