Many Americans are far more scared of imaginary vaccine complications than they are of real disease complications.

This a million times. Denial never really changes, just shifts to update its language with new discoveries and new terminology. We see the same with evolution and HIV denial. Plus, people were sick of antivaxxers even in the late 1800s.

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.

I know I over-use this Joan Didion quote too, but it is evergreen. The view from nowhere persists because fairness (balance and "both sides") has become a cult-like mantra in these places. 4/

![Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 16 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below:
"1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
3. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither [Partial]
4. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
6. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
7. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
8. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
9. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
10. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
11. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
12. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
13. [Partial], abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
15. [Partial], and destroyed the lives of our people.
16. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us [Partial]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:b3psimnw5xxta2n4h5qzxu55/bafkreifschk5h5rhi7ezooza77xgc5hzxi62up3eoqqift5btkt7kui4li@jpeg)

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It's darkly humorous that AI doomers worry about an advanced technology falling into the wrong hands, which allow China to wreck our economy, throw markets into turmoil, interrupt manufacturing progress, disrupt our scientific infrastructure, and create global panic and confusion.
“The affected grants include research into new materials for jet engines, propulsion systems, large-scale information networks, robotics, superconductors, and space and satellite communications, as well as cancer research"

The halt on the TikTok ban enforcement will be pushed out *another* 75 days by Trump.
So a law that Trump and the GOP desperately pushed for critical national security, that was then passed and signed, will not be enforced for a total of at least five months.
He just wants to kill his ban.
