In retrospect this is probably one of the most cynical and brazen ratfucking attempts we've ever seen
After receiving a commendation for exceptional services to the Russian state from President Putin, Biden accuser Tara Reade—seen here in her luxury Moscow condo—has now become a citizen of the Russian Federation... молодец!

Want a little hope for 2026? Amid the chaos/disruption of AI and government failure on climate, science is still delivering the goods. I have friends living & thriving post-HIV, and the next generation of women may never know cervical cancer. RFKjr is a flash in a pan, science is here to stay.
meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??

between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright
Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research.

A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

So, there I was in the Belarusian National Archive in Minsk.

The finding aids were shitty so I ordered a folder of "German Documents, 1941-1944."

Friends, it was literally stuff taken off the bodies of dead soldiers (library cards, driver's licenses, etc)

Some of them were literally bloodstained.
