This is why I have a rule that if someone mentions books on social media, I have to go read for st least 15 minutes.
I wonder if people are paying attention to how much their doom scrolling is cutting into time they used to use to read books

A must-watch. It’s the 🇺🇸 fight in a single sound bite. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

Deepest thanks, sir, for standing up for what’s right and for making me particularly proud to be a New Jerseyan. 🫶🏻✊🏻💙

What do you mean “missing” when everybody knew it was in Lake Michigan?

It’s a lake, not the Pacific Ocean.

Meet Ms. Tatiana, from Lindenwold, New Jersey. She had enough of ICE terrorizing her community and planned her first protest. We offered our assistance, and it was the single most diverse turnout we’ve seen in 8 years of this work!

A man who cries watching his neighbour's kids flee the gvt in fear and then goes out to protest that gvt, is the only kind of man I could love

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?

MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

This is why electrification means more energy security:

In 2024, ~81% of EU electricity came from locally sourced fuels (57% excluding nuclear). Just 19% relied on imported fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are mostly imported.

It is absolutely childish to ignore the hostility that the GOP has shown to science in debates over climate, environmental protections, and most recently vaccines and health and think it has not caused scientists to favor people who don't want to end their careers and promote lies.

A Washington Post columnist whose beat is food and science was whining on here yesterday about how scientists fleeing to Bluesky meant science was "hard left" - the truth is that if science has a leftward bias, it's because the right has decided to destroy science.
