And here's how the DOJ describes the same event. Quite a difference, isn't there?

Bigots stunned to find themselves bearing the consequences of their actions. 😆

While there are many who hold career politicians in disdain, I'm personally comforted by the idea that a spiritual advisor and self-help guru has just dropped out of the presidential primary. We need more rationalism and less magical thinking.

Coming soon to the house of representatives: a loyalty test resolution declaring that black is white.

@ExecutiveFunction404 doh!

@evistre can confirm it's truly glorious.

My dog just ate my invisalign. They were on my desk next to my son. My son is laughing.

Well, f#*k.

Time for a 30mg edible, I think.
Happy Friday!

@IslandNewsService OK bud, you do you.

@LnzyHou what's the odds that Trump chooses Justin Mohn as his running mate?

@IslandNewsService what I'm trying to get at is that nobody living in Scotland would say they live on an island in the same way that nobody in continental Europe would say they're on an island. They both share the same landmass with other nations.

@IslandNewsService no, Scotland isn't an island. Great Britain is an island, but that contains Scotland, England, and Wales.

Girvan is also on the mainland.

Well played, Satanic Temple!

I work in a team developing generative AI applications, but even I'm having my comfort levels pushed with this advert.

I'd love us to move from
"If you're right, I want to know"
to
"If you're right, I want to know how you know"
then finally
"If you're wrong, how would you know it?"

The world would be a better place.

@EnochianEntropy that question rests on what exactly souls and zombies are. We've no evidence for either.

"We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” – George Orwell
