I feel seen. This is exactly why I like explaining things. I am that toddler! I’m not trying to show you how smart I am. I’m trying to share something cool with you!
Indoor air, on the other hand, is excellent. Benefits of a MERV 13 extended media whole-house filter plus multiple HEPA air purifiers. Buy the system for Covid, keep it for the allergies, win with it during wildfires.
Air quality around here, while not great, is still much better than it was a few days ago.
You just know that Trump is *this close* to literally doing the whole "mining our own harbors" thing.
I keep seeing variations of this. Neither ICE nor DHS are established by the Constitution. The power to control immigration isn't even mentioned in the Constitution.
What would you want in return? I think we’d be willing to give you SpaceX and Tesla…
Among other things, Minnesota has had problems with Medicaid fraud for years. (E.g. this news story from 2015: www.mprnews.org/story/2015/0...) Trump and MAGA only care about it now because they get to do some bigotry.
Elon's nuts if he thinks Starship can put 300 GW per year in orbit. My rough calculation is that a 300 GW array would require 210 square miles of solar panels weighing 2.4 million tons, which is 9300 starship flights, or one every hour. It's 100 times what humanity has *ever* put in space.
First of all, there’s no such thing as the Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago. There is a shopping district called the Magnificent Mile. It’s not a high crime area, but like many central retail zones in the age of online commerce, it’s not doing very well.
Don’t worry Mr. Musk, thanks to the hundreds of thousands who have died because you destroyed USAID, and the millions more to follow, no one will ever accuse you of having empathy.
This would be a great argument for Republican superiority…if it wasn’t for the fact that the candidate that Republicans love is Donald Trump.
Yes, those are the families we’re speaking of. Those are the ones most in need of help. And pretty much every Christian ministry that actually helps the poor would understand that.
I find this kind of comparison really annoying. First, the $230 million Trump wants is less than 1/2 hour of total US healthcare spending. Second, you don’t need to contrast Trump’s corruption with anything else to know that it’s bad
Honestly, among other things, i’m a little disappointed that this was so easy to do. I’ve always kind of assumed the building was armored.
Man, it must take some crazy stupid level of homophobia to make someone tear up pavement with heavy equipment just because it has rainbow colors.
JD, if you were a real free-market capitalist like Republicans used to be, you’d know that Joy Reid is wealthy because she provides a service that our fellow Americans believe improves their lives. Maybe that’s something for which *you* should show a little gratitude.
Corollary: People who like Donald Trump aren’t smart. He said it, not me. Of course, if he’s right, then they won’t understand why his statement implies the corollary is true.
“Radical left wing transgender terror cell.” Okay… Are any of the radical left wing transgender terrorists in the room with us right now?
Charlie Kirk supported the drone strike that killed 11 civilians on a Venezuelan boat. He supported sending troops to Washington D.C. and Chicago. He like changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Charlie Kirk wanted war. And I guess he got one.
Here's a black-and-white photo taken from Surveyor 3 during the April 24, 1967 lunar eclipse, showing the faint ring of light from Earth's atmosphere.
I've been seeing this Blood Moon hype a lot. But unless you travel to a dark area and let your eyes adapt -- or take pictures with a long exposure -- all you're going to see is a dim, discolored moon.
This is what I call a blowjobs-for-cancer argument. “Giving blowjobs cures cancer, so any woman who won’t give me a blowjob must want people to die of cancer!”
There is so much wrong with this, but my pet peeve is people who call themselves “alpha males” without understanding the original research: In any group, there can be only one alpha. So if you’re hanging out with your alpha buddies, all, but one of you are actually betas or below.
Trump thinks he can jawbone the world wide oil market into ignoring the laws of supply and demand. Damn, that is just an incredible level of economic ignorance. And ego, let's not forget the ego. God, what a stupid, stupid human being.
Motherfucker, it’s not political rhetoric that causes anti-ICE sentiment. It’s ICE that causes anti-ICE sentiment. And the folks you’re grabbing off the streets are *also* “real people with real families.”
