@Noupside Regarding Whether Tulsi Gabbard's case against Obama "indicate either breathtakingly bad faith or astonishingly low reading comprehension" -- couldn't both be true?
A man who posed with a dead bear, loaded the corpse into his vehicle and drove around with it, finally dumping it in Central Park and staging it to look like a bear attack on a bicyclist ... is now deciding you don't need vaccines.
@nocontexttrek Re :"I always wanted to converse with my mushrooms." He must be a fungi!

Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work?
The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize.
And they've saved literally millions of lives already.

RFK Jr. pulls funding for vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses

The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

@MichaelWhelan Your greyscale view of the castle from the outside and exquisite rendition of the setting sun's indirect illumination from within the ruins are such an interesting pair of images. They show that one's perspective can transform what most people might take for reality.

In fall, the sun sets on the west side of our property to shine through the trees. On a humid day, the light seems suspended in the thick air, spreading against the dark shapes of the trees, fanning golden brilliance across the green lawn. 1/5

Plato warned us. Over two thousand years ago, he told the story of prisoners chained in a cave, mistaking shadows on the wall for reality. They saw outlines and echoes, never the fire or the forms behind it. And when one prisoner escaped and saw the sun, he came back to free the others.

Say what you will about Sydney Sweeney -- she was on her high school robotics team, participated in the mathematics club and was valedictorian of her graduating class. Let's not forget to afford her some respect amid the controversy.

I'm trying to avoid engaging in the rich political content found here, but I have to wonder why we aren't sending nutritional food that is expiring, due to the end of US Aid, to Gaza.

More than 60,000 metric tons of U.S.-funded emergency food aid are in warehouses across the U.S. and abroad., including high-energy biscuits, ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) such as fortified peanut paste, fortified cereals, vegetable oil, rice, and peas. It could feed everyone in Gaza for over a month.
