@quinn@social.circl.lu Note the "probably." It's satire.

Today is the 179th birthday of Scientific American, the oldest continuous publication in America, according to editor Laura Helmuth. I'm so proud to be a columnist for SciAm. The late Oliver Sacks' assistant Kate Edgar told me it was his favorite magazine. Oliver not only read every issue, he saved them in his library in bound volumes.

Freakshow: To get that grotesquely disrespectful thumb's-up photo opp at a veterans' grave, Trump campaign staff had a "physical altercation" with an Arlington Cemetery official. These people are TERRIFYING. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/27/nx-s1-5091154/trump-arlington-cemetery

Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

The cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried, a source with knowledge of the incident told NPR.

His guts roiling and seething with hatred, bigotry, and sadistic thoughts of revenge, Trump struggles with aides begging him to stay "on message." The aides might console themselves by remembering that hatred, bigotry, and sadistic thoughts of revenge are Trump's only message. He's got nothing else to offer. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/24/us/politics/trump-campaign-2024.html?smid=tw-share

RFK Jr. was not just an addict - he was a drug dealer, and not just a drug dealer, but the kind of nasty, freaky drug dealer you'd never buy from again. He's still a weird asshole selling stuff that's bad for you, and today that's Donald Trump and MAGA fascism. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/08/rfk-jr-endorse-trump-execute-drug-dealers/679597/

The best thing about RFK Jr. endorsing Trump is that now I can spend less time as an autism historian explaining to nudnik anti-vaxxers in my friends' social networks that his books and speeches are full of lies. I can just say, "What on Earth is wrong with you?"

via @charlotte.clymer on Threads:

My favorite factoid about Tim Walz is that during his career as a high school teacher, in the same year, he coached the football team to a state title AND served as the faculty advisor for the school's first gay-straight alliance (GSA) club.

I just lost my legacy checkmark on the #birdsite, which is good, because I'd hate for anyone to think that I was paying to cast a veneer of legitimacy over that increasingly fetid sewer of right-wing bigotry and Kremlin disinformation.

Must read. The GOP "attack on the dignity of transgender Americans is an attack on the dignity of all Americans," writes @jbouie@mastodon.social in the New York Times. This helps explain why my husband and I feel so crushingly disappointed by the lack of any private expression of support from our Republican relatives as the GOP (and indeed, their own governor, the fascist Ron DeSantis) has been putting LGBTQ+ people in its crosshairs for years now. #USpol
