Did this congressman actually put a Trump casino in his post on this?
Huge News! Today, I am proud to introduce the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, a bill that allows the President to find the means necessary to bring Greenland into the Union. Let me be clear, our adversaries are trying to establish a foothold in the Arctic, and we can’t

I read this book when it was written, and remember re-reading this exact passage multiple times. Sagan was a treasure, and his work on making science (and knowledge/expertise) both understandable and respectable was a gift to us all.

The world needs more poets. Thank you Bob Dylan for describing one of my favorite artists (Willie) in exactly the way he deserves to be described.

👏 It hurts to read this. But it’s true. One day America will live up to its values again.
When Claude Malhuret speaks, you know you're not going to get the usual political spin. This is a man—a doctor, a former head of Doctors Without Borders, and a French politician—who has seen the world from the front lines and knows the difference between comforting lies and

On this morning, it’s worth saying this for the millionth time. Our children have to live in terror at school entirely because our political leaders don’t care enough to do anything about it. There is no mystery about how to stop this. They just don’t care.
I was shot at a school shooting at 15. Last night spent locked down at my university while learning of casualties & the many injured. This is not how I imagined life when I was little girl. I miss that carefree child I once was. Thinking of the many affected #BrownUniversity

It feels like we've left Bedford Falls and entered Pottersville. I really hope the movie has another chapter in it.

"LLMs are humanity's "first contact" with non-animal intelligence." 👏
Something I think people continue to have poor intuition for: The space of intelligences is large and animal intelligence (the only kind we've ever known) is only a single point, arising from a very specific kind of optimization that is fundamentally distinct from that of our

Truly amazing accomplishment. It’s also pretty incredible that their names are literally Row & Pain? https://t.co/Ig1omuNsIm

It took Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne six months, plenty of snacks and sleepless nights to row from Peru to Australia

Sparing a thought for #Commanders fans, who after fighting for 93 years to rid themselves of one terrible name, waited only 4 years more before their stadium said Hold My Beer.

This is vile. It’s garbage when it comes from fringe ppl and college students on the left, and it’s even worse coming from 2 of the right’s most influential voices (Tucker & Candace). Cut the shit! Ppl on both sides need to wake up and call this stuff out.
Candace Owens has the #1 podcast in the U.S. And she’s using it to say that Jews infected America with porn, drugs, psychology, feminism, and transgenderism — to take down Christian civilization. If you’re still pretending this is just “criticism of Israel” or okay in any way,

👀⬇️⬇️ For any anti-vaxxers keeping a list of the things they’ve decided to give up for themselves and their children. Unless beet juice or cupping does this too.
Covid-19 vaccines, credited with saving millions of lives during the pandemic, set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study.

Seems like a dangerous game to play. NY & CA alone contribute $167B more to the Fed government than they receive, with shockingly little complaint. States like VA, AL, AK, AZ and WV are the inverse, taking enormously. At some point, the compact breaks. https://t.co/anhpXFJZnW

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

My friend Matt just finished hiking the Pacific Crest Trail—2,653 miles from Mexico to Canada. I asked him if he had any profound insights from the six-month journey, and he dropped this truth bomb on me: “On the trail, living is hard—but life is easy. In normal life, living is
