A scene from the Barbie movie in which Barbie is crying because someone called her a fascist, but she doesn’t control the railways or the flow of commerce!

Grokipedia thinks winning an election is somehow “empirical evidence” a person did not commit a crime.
Excerpt of “empirical evidence” from Grokipedia that a politician did not commit a crime because he won an election. “Voter behavior provides an aggregate empirical measure of claim credibility: despite extensive media coverage of the allegations during the 2016 election, Trump secured 304 electoral votes and 46.1% of the popular vote; he repeated this in 2024 with a projected victory including the popular vote plurality, indicating public non-disqualification despite awareness. 118l This electoral resilience underscores a gap between amplified narratives and societal causal assessment, where unproven claims do not override broader evidence of conduct in high-stakes scrutiny.”

An NBCNews article titled, “An asteroid might be heading for the moon. Should we nuke it?” Share text reads: An asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is estimated to have a 4% chance of hitting the moon in 2032. A new paper explores whether to nuke or deflect it.

This article from the 19th has the best breakdown i’ve seen of the research that shows who really uses Medicaid.

19thnews.org/2025/05/medi...
A screenshot of text from the linked article: The data shows Medicaid recipients who are in this smaller group of able-bodied recipients are primarily women who are, on average, 41 years old. A quarter are over 50. Most have a high school education or less. They are also poor: Their median income is zero, and their average household of 4.4 people has an annual median income of less than $45,000. They were also recently part of the workforce, with just over half (56.2 percent) having worked within the past five years. Upwards of one-third are looking for work. Some may have left the workforce to care for family: either elderly parents or adult children or spouses with disabilities — or a combination. “This is really an attack on formally caregiving, older women who have a very hard time getting back into the workforce — not young men who are able bodied and sitting around because they don’t feel like working,” said Alison Barkoff, a health policy professor and program director at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, who also wrote about the analysis from UMass researchers..

The splitscreen on the AP livestream of the military parade and No Kings rallies certainly paints a picture.
Splitscreen video from the Associated Press showing people taking selfies in front of, and on, a military humvee, juxtaposed with No Kings protests around the country.

My mom’s husband went from “I don’t like cats” to “well I already bought the calendar with his picture, I don’t think I need the puzzle since I see him every day.”

Shout out to CNN for getting one of the best quotes I’ve seen in a while
A photo of an article about the Hegseth group chat, in which a former senior U.S. official is quoted as saying, “dear sweet baby Jesus.”
