Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

2024 was the hottest year on record. Ever.
In a few years you may remember it nostalgically as the coolest you've experienced since.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The architects of the DEI purge -- Rufo and Hanania in particular -- are straight-up white nationalists who are engaged in a systemic project to dismantle as much of the Civil Rights Act as possible without having to explicitly admit what they're doing.

Being progressive means committing to helping people who hate your guts and would not do the same for you. It's not about living out your fantasy of shooting the Czar in his palace.

So Trump's new secretary of defense has white nationalist tattoos
In that same book, Hegseth talks of how he was one of 12 Nat'l Guard members Kept from Biden's inauguration due to extremism. He says it was due to his Jerusalem Cross tattoo, but I'm betting it was his tattoo of Deus Vult, the rallying cry of the 1st Crusade in 1099 - and White Supremacists today.
