Never forget that we moved heaven and earth to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Not because he flew an airplane into the World Trade Center on 9/11, but because he incited his followers to do it for him.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

If you’re criticizing Nancy Pelosi for visiting Taiwan, but said nothing when 7 Republican Senators and 1 Republican House member went to Moscow for the Fourth of July, you are an idiot and an asshole.

Florida is now seeking to outlaw quantum computing. Apparently its processors are non-binary.

Both the Kremlin and the RNC are afraid of their leader taking real questions from the press. Both will falsely claim that independent media is the enemy. It’s the same basic authoritarian playbook.

RE: The FDA Vaccine Booster Vote zdoggmd.com/fda-boosters/ via @zdoggmd -- I wish folks would refrain from saying evolving COVID guidance is "confusing". The reason one has to "follow" science is because it moves as the scientific community continues to learn.

The FDA Vaccine Booster Vote

Here's the deal with the FDA's decision.


Misery loves company. If you are miserable, Facebook may be right for you! Yeah, I know, this applies to some other social media also -- but when the most popular thing ever shared on Facebook is vaccine misinformation, it's in its very own league. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…


I have complete sympathy for those who categorize their sexuality as "non-binary", because that's the same way I categorize my political orientation.


I'm tired of hearing phrasing like "COVID has killed over a million Americans." It is far more accurate to say "Americans have killed over a million Americans with COVID." This is an obvious analogue to the notion that "Guns don't kill people ...". @POTUS @WhiteHouse
