"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

As George Carlin said, there’s only one party in America, a business party and your two options are the illusion of choice.

JD Vance, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff just drafted a plan that would effectively hand Ukraine over to Putin. But what were they really trying to do?

overwhelming ignorance combined with religion is what gives me no hope about this nation. Trump and his followers are nothing in comparison to what is coming.

Where is our modern Kafka or Heller when this is so obviously a dark-comic novel?
BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

No surprise here:
Conservative Problem Solvers Caucus Democrats exist to undermine the Dem Party in the name of “bipartisanship,” to advance a GOP agenda.
Notice how they never get Republican Problem Solvers to cross the aisle for Democratic priorities.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The obsessive wokeness panic is about elite labor market competition and prestige. People use a lot of fancy words to obscure this, and offer some substantive criticisms as well, but that’s ultimately its driving force.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

The Wizard Nebula (Sharpless 142) in the constellation of Cepheus. This region of star formation is being energized primarily by a massive spectroscopic binary system called DH Cephei. The stars in this system are young, near the start of the main sequence and are a source of X-ray emissions. 🔭

Could not agree more! @radiofreetom.bsky.social does not get it.
The biggest reason I can't take this opinion seriously is because I can guarantee that Mr. Nichols has not written about the dehumanizing language toward trans people all year by Republican politicians. To me, that is far more profane than VP Harris or Mr. Schumer uttering the word "fuck" publicly.

One of the biggest problems with establishment Dems like yourself is that you still don’t understand that he could kill somebody on 5th Avenue and not lose a single voter.
This is more blatantly true today than it ever was in the past.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.
Pam Bondi knew.
Kash Patel knew.
Emil Bove knew.
And they made the investigation go away.
A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
