I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.
How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?
How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

Functioning democracies are cool.
In South Korea, 10 days after attempting a coup d'état, president Yoon Suk Yeol is impeached. In the US, 4 years after doing the same, Trump is re-elected.
The president agreed to “step aside” after parliament voted to remove him, more than 200,000 showed up to make sure he didn't challenge it.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Basically everyone on Bluesky that hates crypto is wholeheartedly in bed with big government & the banking industry. Pick your side: financial autonomy or suckle the tit of uncle sam. Bitcoin is hard money

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!
No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.
