ME: Huh, a tiny thing has briefly made me feel an emotion. MY BRAIN: Pizza will heal that.
The head of @HHSGov, which oversees @US_FDA, says that everyone should stop "trusting experts". Within FDA that means clinicians and scientists, which is absolutely who we should trust for drug and device approvals. #RFKJrIsADisaster
JUST IN! RFK Jr: "My opinion— I always tell people— is irrelevant. We need to stop trusting the experts. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy-- it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." America, this is your HHS Secretary!
One of the defining features of totalitarianism was how its leaders made war on experts, like the Soviet bureaucrats who boosted Lysenkoism. Dictatorial regimes *hate* experts, because experts reach conclusions based on evidence, not political expediency.

Ladies, the lesson to all of this is don't date an older married man because you might have to pretend to enjoy a Coldplay concert. #CEOScandal #CEOfail

On behalf of concert-goers everywhere who 👀 when the CEO posted about privacy in a public space with tens of thousands of people... #CEOScandal x.com/PopBase/status…
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned following Coldplay concert incident.
“In 47 years, I’ve never seen my father doodle.”
My father has a very specific way of speaking. People all over the world have mimicked it for decades. The insanity written in the Wall Street Journal, AIN’T IT and everyone knows it. Also in 47 years I’ve never seen him doodle once. Give me a break with the fake “journalisming’
What the everlasting truck. 😮 #Colbert
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
Tired of Florida stealing all the thunder. We need to rename our tourist destination to SHARKCATRAZ. 🦈🏝️ #sf #AlligatorAlcatraz #Sharkcatraz
Someone get him a copy of the Constitution
Congressman, do you care if U.S. citizens accidentally get detained in ICE raids? RALPH NORMAN: "No, I'm not concerned about that."
HAPPENING NOW!! Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ tonight, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleague, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻
thread on how the layoffs at the State Department are going over:
State Department employees who have not yet received layoff notices today created posters for their less fortunate colleagues

illinois, a famously English word,
In America, we speak ENGLISH — and that goes for truck drivers, construction workers, factory employees, store clerks, delivery drivers, warehouse crews, and everyone in between. If you live and work here, you should speak the language of our country.
Great thread on the recklessness of this administration. Just wait, this is only the beginning of how Americans will be harmed, thanks to the ignorance of Felon47.

nyc: are we dating the same guy? sf: ARE WE HIRING THE SAME GUY???
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
No-one knows what anything means anymore, but... Trump called for the resignation of Fed Chair Jay Powell around the time you might expect his staff to have shown him a preview of tomorrow's jobs numbers. It would be illegal and unethical to even hint at such confidential info,…
