Deficits appeared even in people who had a mild infection. A reminder that if you’ve had Covid, you have brain damage.

Can't say it here without getting flagged.

The man who presided over Jan 6th and the fake electors plot is definitely not going to accept an unfavorable outcome to the election now that he has much more power than he did in 2020.

> I mean, I guess we'll try to find competent and sane leaders again in 4 years. I don't know? There's not much else we can do at this point if this is the level of irrationality you're dealing with.

There are absolutely not going to be free and fair elections 4 years from now. People really need to start preparing for this reality.

Science sometimes says things that disagree with MAGA ideology and so it must be destroyed.

They aren't jokes.

> "Eliminating the Energy Star program would directly contradict this administration’s promise to reduce household energy costs," Paula Glover, president of the nonprofit coalition Alliance to Save Energy

You can't afford to be this naive anymore if you live in the US.

This is a good summary of how far gone the US is already. This country is radically different than it was 6 months ago, and it hasn't registered with the majority of the population yet.

This is called a “purge” when it happens in other countries.

This is going to look great as evidence in the lawsuits that claim Trump is abusing the IEEPA.

I feel sorry for these people, but they really shouldn’t be surprised. These tech leaders crave power and will follow whatever trend that will help them attain it.

The article doesn’t mention why they’ve been creeping northward since 2022.

Now RFK Jr. gets to take credit for the decline in autism diagnoses in the country and attribute it to whatever crackpot reason he wants.

It’s a straight up fascist party now.

Funny, this is basically what caused HAL9000 to go insane in 2001 A Space Odyssey.

> California has received hundreds of waivers over the years, and none had been presented to Congress for a vote until now.

I look forward to the FBI's thorough investigation of Hegseth then.

They’re getting attacked in the replies.

Before everyone gets excited:

> The board narrowed its focus to a major search firm, according to the people familiar with the discussions. The current status of the succession planning couldn’t be determined. It is also unclear if Musk, himself a Tesla board member, was aware of the effort, or if his pledge to spend more time at Tesla has affected succession planning.

China likes to present itself as professional and diplomatic, but underneath, there is a seething hatred for the US and the West that slips out sometimes.

Try watching a White House press briefing if you really want your skin to crawl.

It's obviously false, but it's a good time to try and capitalize on the US's decreased credibility.

> The U.S. appeared ready to join the rest of the world when President Gerald Ford in 1975 signed legislation designating it the country’s preferred measuring system.

> The U.S. Metric Board—which was put in place to help Americans make the switch—used I-19, which was being built at the time, as a test case for the measuring system on signs.

> However, when President Ronald Reagan took office he disbanded the metric board and the U.S. never switched over. The signs remain.

Of course.

What's everyone stocking up on before the shortages begin?

I don’t think it was manipulation. I think Amazon upper management genuinely planned to go through with it until Trump got wind, yelled at Bezos, and then Bezos told them to stop.

The Trump team doesn’t seem to understand the severity of what they’ve done to the economy. Shipping volume is cratering and warehouses are being depleted. People are going to notice the upcoming price hikes and shortages no matter how the numbers are shuffled around on the purchase order.

> The ranking of the top 10 largest sources of DDoS attacks in 2025 Q1 also shifted notably. Hong Kong soared to the number one position, climbing three spots from the previous quarter.

China being China.

The answer to "Is China Pulling Ahead in X?" is going to be "yes" for the foreseeable future.

Wait until the shortages begin.
