"Theory" is not a gift from the thinking society to those pseudo-researchers who strive to recycle commonplaces. Good theory invites us to think, to question it, to find flaws in what it proposes. To repeat the trite, let's rather stay at home.

To MTG, Lauren Boebert, and all the other cult members leaving Trump saying, "We didn't know it would be this bad, he tricked us," you can go to hell. He was pretty clear about how terrible he'd be…

Trump keeps claiming there are no murders in DC since he sent the National Guard there. The families of 128 murder victims would beg to differ. They claim Trump is ignoring them as he lies about fixing the problem and brags to make himself the hero.

Some health experts are saying that *it* could happen in the March to May timeframe. I hope it's the Ides of March, so I can say "Et tu, Tupée."

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

There is a radical sect of Catholicism that is fascist.
Opus Dei.
Kevin Roberts, president of Heritage, and Leonard Leo, who stacked our corrupt Supreme Court with radical Catholics, are both Opus Dei.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

DOGE cut 7000 jobs at the Social Security Admin and closed 50 field offices, and now they’re struggling to respond to up to 6 million pending cases in its processing centers and 12 million transactions in its field offices.
Now they’ll say it’s broken and must be privatized.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this frog since learning about it a few days ago, so now this knowledge is your problem too.
Meet the turtle frog (Myobatrachus gouldii) – a round burrow gremlin from Australia. It gets its name from looking like a turtle that lost its shell.
