Golly! If only the Democrats wouldn’t piss these anti-vaxxers and other science denying people off by pushing peer-reviewed science, and figure out a way to talk to them, perhaps we could win some elections.

"Kennedy said the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet…were ‘corrupt’…‘Unless those journals change dramatically, we are going to stop NIH scientists from publishing in them and we’re going to create our own journals in-house’”

Cat doing its imitation of Putin listening to Trump and thinking he is a mouse to play with.

Yeah, the Kennedy bit at the end was just icing on the cake. This administration* is laughingly incompetent. Having said that, DOGE has managed to decimate the staff of many government agencies, damage that will take years to repair. This has to stop.

They’ll do a duet on her next album.
:musical_score: I’m sorry
(So sorry) So sorry
Please accept my apology
But love is blind
And I was too blind to see
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yes

This made my morning. Sorry for the X link, for those who legitimately hate that place. It’s the only one I have.

“Canada is indeed… the True North Strong and Free.” King Charles said those words in the Throne speech and they drew spontaneous applause. But it was when I saw those same words emblazoned on the side of the airplane taking the King and Queen home in French and in English ‘True North Strong and Free’ on either side of a Red Maple Leaf… that I truly got a lump in my throat. David Cochrane remarked (I paraphrase) that it was not subtle. But then we’re dealing with a President who lacks any familiarity with the word or its meaning.

From the sunny weather, to the crowd turnouts to the speech itself, it was a day Canadians should understand what it means to be Canadian. And how very lucky we are.

Read the whole thread. Evidently, when the monarch visits at the request of Canada, Canada provides the plane, in this case a military passenger aircraft. Subtle :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.

ETA: The plane.

If I were 10 years younger, I would be working on getting an EU passport (Italian paternal ancestry) to give myself an exit ramp from this shitshow.

But I am not, and besides, fuck these assholes. I am going to stay and outlive as many as I can, and piss on their graves (at least figuratively; I hate flying).
