it just occurred to me that tom brady’s career as a broadcaster is basically a nathan fielder bit
his best moments are when you can tell he’s a little uncomfortable and thinks that must mean he’s doing it right but you can also just feel his eyes on the other guy saying “this is good right? this is funny? i’m being good right? please god tell me i’m being good” the whole time

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Important insight on a really big win for democracy. Thank you, Anne.
I want to take a moment of reflection. I don’t post a lot of threads anymore (bc really who wants to read them) but this seems like a good time to make a few points about wins & losses & surviving & fighting during the Trump administration’s siege on democracy. Especially as 2025 comes to a close.

Trump blew up the conservative party by making them contradict everything they claimed to believe.
His populism was powerful, so they told themselves it was worth it. Or that they couldn't stop it.
But nihilism makes everything devoid of meaning. Their power is empty. They will accomplish nothing.
