RFK Jr. says there’s not enough evidence to prove vaccines don’t cause autism.
There’s also not enough evidence to prove RFK Jr. doesn’t have a fetish for watching people die of infectious diseases.
And there never will be because you can’t prove a negative. See how that works?

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

How about we keep all the workers but replace the executives with AI? Is there anything your average tech CEO does that AI couldn't do?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.
I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.
I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

you've gotta get low-info disengaged people onto the "trump is bad" side any way you can. once they're there you can convince them of the other stuff too. if what gets them there is "trump was epstein's accomplice" that's great, if what gets them there is "trump take egg" that's fine too.

This is our satellite. Bought and paid for with taxpayer dollars, appropriated for this specific mission by the elected Congress. Those who would destroy it on purpose are our enemies.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

I remember in late 1999 seeing some TV show counting down the 50 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. I kept shouting "OZZY!" before each one, but they always picked someone else, the fools.

When I took the history reporter job, I told my editor I would never "both sides" the Civil War, Confederates or slavery. I never did.
But here, ChatGPT (pic 1) has turned my work (pics 2,3) into whitewashed pablum and put MY FUCKING NAME on it.

Wow—Trump is firing and banning all trans people from the military, per DoD memo.
“Military service by members and applicants for military service who have a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria is incompatible with military service.”

The Democrats obviously need to stop conceding actual power to Trump, but they also need to stop granting him the presumption of soft power. You can take his effects seriously while still treating him like what he literally is: a clown.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.
