American science is under siege. It's such a difficult position for people inside government agencies trying to balance between blocking dangerous lunacy and also letting the public know it is happening.
“Taken together, these two policies create a structure in which dissent becomes professionally costly, alignment becomes professionally necessary, and the space for honest scientific judgment quietly contracts.”

Never before in the history of the United States has a WH been so filled with incompetence, lunacy, criminals, traitors, and pedophiles.
NEVER.
NEVER.

Your brain is stuck in this hyper vigilance mode of trying to squash the lunacy because you never know what delusional claim will suddenly break out and go mainstream. And since no one will address the crazies it just goes on FOREVER

This argument is absolute lunacy.
Jennifer Kavanagh argues that Japan (and South Korea) weaken their own security by supporting Ukraine and should “invest at home first.”
Koizumi’s remarks at the Munich Security Conference reject this premise entirely.

A friend of mine made this—its so perfect and encapsulates the lunacy of what Trump & his goons are doing to purposefully destroy Americans and enrich himself & his sycophants. This week the Trump administration rolled back so many environmental protections it is hard to process.

maybe my favorite moment is in Hot to Katratzi when John is giving his completely nuts speech about wanting to sell out and settle down (while wearing a nuclear bomb) and Vakali goes “he’s crazy!” and Aeryn just replies “isn’t it fun?”
she’s totally on board with all of John’s lunacy and it’s great

Also amusing because Chrichton slowly loses his sanityduring the show... and decides "Actually, this is fine, let's just keep going. Anybody got a snack?"

This lunacy runs its course
With no external force;
One must with hand correct.
This madness comes pre-wired,
Its circuits are hard-wired;
One must rewire the set.

Fun new definition of ‘lunacy’, eh?
The 'Moon economy' is about to boom. Deutsche Bank thinks this one space stock will benefit

Stupendously Unnecessary Vehicles ( #SUV ‘s) are killing and maiming many more people in accidents than less high-fronted ones. Phase them out, tax the off the roads, stop this lunacy now. They are not needed status symbols causing death and damage. More investment in #public #transport needed!

The fact that anyone would give value to a man who talks this way about addiction and etiology in this way while representing the healthcare field is definition of lunacy

Most JEWS don’t even read the Talmud it’s so long and weird. It’s just centuries of rabbis shitposting, compiled in a bunch of books. Sometimes it’s extremely wise and compelling and sometimes it’s deranged lunacy. It’s sacred but it’s not binding like Torah. Chill the fuck out.

Who did the damage, Suella? 14 years of Tory mismanagement, austerity and the lunacy of Brexit when you were in that party.

Ah, drafts, how I have missed you!
Now I can write my angry-but-pointless replies to the lunacy of today and send them to drafts rather than them it and polluting everyone’s timeline w more useless rage.
Somehow keeping the POTENTIAL of that rant alive is enough of a release valve.

The ban was always lunacy. It seems the court has decided Palestine Action didn't even meet the expansive definition of "terrorism" in the Terrorism Act - but it never remotely met the *ordinary meaning of the word*
Like, just use a bloody dictionary.

Just saw the news about Robert Duvall. Yes, The Godfather but also his sly ruthless evil in The Killer Elite, his dayglo lunacy in Apocalypse Now, his weary noblesse oblige in Open Range, his retiring cop with unexpected compassion in Falling Down…
And all the rest.

On the one hand I’m glad no one polled my fellow Jews because who knows what lunacy would come from the 7 who still have landlines but on the other hand it’s pretty incredible to see “religiously unaffiliated” get more acknowledgment than minority religions

The reality is that most of you do not need to have your doorbell be a 24 hour surveillance camera. It is lunacy to pretend the mass adoption of an Amazon owned home monitoring system is necessary.

Criminality, immorality, incompetence, lunacy, and ignorance aside, one quality that really seems to permeate top folks on Team Trump is smugness. Their special kind of smarmy unwarranted condescension was on full display today with Bondi who is as odious as she is dangerous.
