At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

Coolest thing I learned in recent memory is that red sprites are a thing.
Whoa.
That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.
With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

I guess the media needs it to be spelled out but the core principle of RFKj wellness fascism is that if you get sick it’s your fault, you could have avoided it by using the right “supplements” and working out, so you might as well die because you’re of no use
If you find this confusing you should never comment on American politics ever again.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.

When millions of people lose their jobs (on top of the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who already have under Trump), they’re gonna lose their healthcare coverage as well and will need…Medicaid.

Is today a good day to remind folks that Medicaid — the program likely to bear the overwhelming brunt of E&C's instructions to cut $880B during reconciliation — is counter-cyclical?

saw a video that asked what your most unhinged neurodivergent productivity hacks are and saw this one:
“if I really need to get something done, I will make one of my socks wet, I can only change them when the task is completed.”
