Because art is not just a mirror for life but can traipse into scary accurate fortune telling, friends & I maintain lists of movies with highly predictive peeks into mankind’s future. “Nostradamus’s Top 3 Hits”: 1st “Idiocracy” 2nd all “Star Wars” movies & 3rd every “Planet Of The Apes” film.🤣😳⁉️🤔😶…🤯

Haberman not even bothering to go with the "Trump moves" or "Trump says" qualifier. "Trump dismissed" Cook, in an "aggressive" move. Never mind the law.

I want to see Celebrity Jeopardy with these 3. Which one doesn't make it to the Final Jeopardy round? My guess is the middle guy ⬇️.
President Donald Trump wants to hand out IQ tests to Democratic representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett to “see who comes out best.”
Trump Makes Bonkers New Threat Against AOC and Jasmine Crockett
Boasting that he had “aced” an intelligence test, the president said, “Now it’s time for them to take a test.”

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives.

This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle.

Please do not post that ridiculous image of f34. Everyone has seen it by now.
PS: I'm ok with never seeing any image of that person ever again. Where do I sign up for a "mute image" feature?

Well, Mark, I have all the imaginary friends I need.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...

Thus is your friendly reminder that one VERY cool feature on Bluesky is that you can make your default settings force you to be a better human and add alt text whenever you post an image. Go to Settings, Accessibility, then toggle on "Require alt text before posting." Easy peasy.

This is awful news for the disability community. This administration needs to know: DO NOT MESS WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, they will fight back harder than you can imagine.
The Administration for Community Living, housed in HHS, is shutting down. I spoke to disability experts for @motherjones.com about questions they have for what’s next, the services ACL provides, and how this move may lead to more folks being institutionalized. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
RFK Jr. moves to close Administration for Community Living
The shutdown will mean "more people forced into institutional settings."
