Ok #ScienceSky , as we can now apparently repeal scientific facts, if YOU had the power to repeal any scientific fact or law which one would you choose? 🧪

Why don’t we just repeal gravity so we can just fly like birds everywhere we want?
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

It’s … THIS is the enemy, people. This is the thinking that is the enemy.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Love this from my local library - Portobello Library - blind date with a book for Valentine's Day! What was in my parcel? Ah well, that would be telling but it was perfect for me. A favourite author and one of their books I hadn't read. 💕📚

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".
