Hi! I'm Nun Sequitur.
I'm also the Queenealogist -- keeper of a fictional castle* filled with my family history. Full disclosure: I am not descended from royalty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm glad to be here at Bluesky.

The thing I wish people like Carville et al would realize is that you cannot have ‘pure populist economic rage’ if you leave out the ‘woke’ bits. It doesn’t work like that.
It’s weird to me they don’t see this, so let’s see if we can walk it out.

You can’t spell acetaminophen without the letters in EPSTEIN.
OK, fine. Full disclosure.
The S is missing, but so are the facts linking acetaminophen to autism.

If you’re in the Eastern District of Virginia and you get a jury summons, maybe don’t sit this one out. You could end up on a Jim Comey or Tish James case.

Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech.
Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

There is no autism epidemic.
There is only better identification of existing autistic people.
Anyone claiming otherwise is either ignoring, denying—or does not understand—contemporary autism research, or is selling something.

To study the decline of reading, @TheEconomist analyzed nearly 250 years of presidential inaugural addresses using the Flesch-Kincaid test. Washington’s scored 28.7, a postgraduate level, while Trump's scored 9.4, the reading level of a high-schooler. www.economist.com/culture/2025...
Is the decline of reading making politics dumber?
As people read less they think less clearly, scholars fear

100 years ago, they came for UNC-Chapel Hill.
They accused it of teaching evolution, non-heroic US history, and anti-racism. They threatened its budget.
Pres. Harry Chase fought back and won. He told voters that if they wanted a “real university,” there could be no ideological control.
