The internet is such a disaster that I really do think it would be healthier to encourage people to watch more TV.

“The food item for which [Mike] Tyson is most famous is Evander Holyfield’s ear.” 😂😂😂
I don’t want to be like Mike Tyson, Jay.

It’s incredible that Les Incompétents not only burned a fat stack of cash on a Mike Tyson Super Bowl ad, but are apparently building an entire campaign around him.

The food item for which Tyson is most famous is Evander Holyfield’s ear.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

The evidence has not changed. Climate change has not stopped. This is political censorship of scientific evidence. Plain and simple.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

The implications of not being able to retract from LLMs may be far-reaching, making these incompatible with science.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.

Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.

And now RFK Jr. will continue to get people killed by preventable diseases.
