The account looked legitimate. They are a paying account (I’ve never seen a bot that pays).
They’ve been on the platform for over 2 years.
They have 52 followers, some of whom I recognize, and they compulsively repost interesting science posts (including some of mine).

The government giving researchers money to throw stuff against the wall is a major source of innovation and a minuscule percent of the federal budget

All it took was over half of people living in poverty, 2/3rds of children living in poverty, with a million children skipping dinner each night due to lack of food.

People who ostensibly oppose Endless War and gave Biden zero credit for Afghanistan and grounding the drones are getting exactly the Trump cabinet they deserve

Trump's NSA pick Mike Waltz was a counterterrorism advisor to Dick Cheney and thought the US should stay in Afghanistan forever. In this 2017 clip, he suggested the war be "multigenerational." But sure, keep pretending Trump was the anti-war candidate. x.com/franklinisbored/status…

In Alabama, teachers are legally required to alert parents if they suspect one of their students might be trans. Tom boys, be sure to loudly advertise your femininity somehow, lest your mom and dad receive an awkward phone call.

What “positive defense” is needed here? Serious question. Republicans are lawmaking politicians. What laws need to be made to ensure that girls can be tomboys? The contemporary Republican attitude is, at minimum, one of toleration, as befitting a classical liberal outlook.

Trump's lies about Project 2025 being his policy are another thing that he'll not be held accountable for.

This website becomes part of the government in 72 days.
You geniuses were so upset about not-actually-real govt censorship you made up to feel like victims that you''ve got yourself a social network where every content moderation choice will be govt censorship.

JD Vance offering advice to liberals by quoting remorseless, soulless killer Anton Chigurh is a little bit too on the nose.

Rod Rosenstein would like to remind you:
1) He deprived Andy McCabe of due process when firing him.
2) John Durham DID engage in prosecutions that weren't justified, and probably Rod's colleagues under David Weiss
3) Until he comes clean on some other things he should be ignored

“The Justice Department didn’t prosecute people unless it was justified by the facts and the law during President Trump’s first term, and it probably won’t do so in his second term.”

Re:the comments. No one remotely said or suggested that in the comments so she invented an imaginary reason to be mad at people because they said they still weren’t fans of Vance’s policies.

Re: the comments -- I'm beginning to think there are a bunch of people in the pro-upward mobility camp who would be in favor of conditioning Pell Grant or GI Bill receipt on a promise to not grow up to be a political conservative...

2 profs at Harvard took off after an election and 2 extended homework deadlines. And every moderate to conservative commentator is like “This is why no one trusts Harvard or vaccines”. I just feel like they live in a more imaginary world than what they’re projecting.
8 Nov 2024
This is pitiful. Harvard is supposed to attract the best & brightest. The vast majority of society does not get to hit pause on life when something doesn't go their way.

Like if you live in a world where a couple Harvard profs take off of work for a day and it’s is a big deal you do not live remotely im a world reflected by nearly anyone else in the world. And if you’re extrapolating from a couple profs then you’re also really bad at math.

Incredible post in the Bruenig replies. Dems could learn a lot about Econ from the average voter.
