Here’s an article that made me think of the recent “canonization” of Charlie Kirk. It’s a recent (July ‘25) article in medical journal The Lancet noting that the Trump/Project 2025 destruction of USAID is forecast to cause 14 million deaths over the next 5 years. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Weird email this morning from the Social Security Administration celebrating (and gaslighting) the “big beautiful bill.” We’re definitely in “1984” territory now eg “the chocolate rations have been increased to 20 grams a week” (when in fact they’ve been cut from 30).

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media.
Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

I just removed the Threads app - it’s overrun by MAGA morons a la X. Hopefully BlueSky can avoid that. My guess is Zuck is pandering to Trump by inflating “cattird2” type garbage.

I don’t know if TikTok’s work here but this “Leopards Eat My Face” song is brilliant. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Yx268b/

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This seemed to be an appropriate reminder today….real images used - top the Fox News talking head swearing allegiance to Trump at the RNC in 2016 - bottom image the richest man in the world at the inauguration today.

Is TikTok now MAGA garbage like Twitter/X? I just made an account and every vid is pro-Trump garbage. I guess TikTok is being like Bezos and kissing ads for favorability from the Trump klan?

So who is on top of the con man’s revenge list?

Haha I would have been < 1000 if they took all my early requests! 😊

Is this Brazil thing a hoax, as I haven’t seen a single Brazilian post in the last day?

I think the best argument that Biden shouldn’t drop out is that JD Vance is calling for him to drop out.
