Damn it, this one hits *really* hard. Rest in peace, Doc. Thank you for all of your hard work. You’ll be remembered, and missed.
I was amazed that I was able to get a page in the Annual Lightning Report with a title from Spaceballs, but then the Annual Lightning Report for the next year won a Finnish Comms Award, so I guess I was doing something right.
It is opening night! Lucky me, I kick off the opening of the winter desk tonight.

I’m looking for advice on malaria prevention meds for my Kenya trip in December. Have you taken mefloquine? Did it cause you any side effects? I’ve taken Malarone on my other trips, but am considering trying mefloquine this time. Any input is appreciated! 🦟
This was weird. I felt like I was interrupting something and it turned out that the one in back had its foot stuck inside the other’s shell. Came back in 5 min to make sure it wasn’t upside down and they were both gone! 🐢
Israel has committed & continues to commit genocide in Gaza There is a UN convention for exactly this kind of horror: the convention for the prevention & punishment of the crime of genocide What does refusal to act mean for the 🌎’s shared values of rule of law, democracy, human rights & dignity?
Yes, and he is challenged more and more, we can expect him to be even more outrageous in what he says, and in what he does.
Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
At a White House event on autism, Trump baselessly linked vaccines to the disorder and urged major changes in how kids get their shots. www.statnews.com/2025/09/22/t...

The only people complaining about the decision are the supporters of Netanyahu. But you already know that.
The Trump administration has made it a lot more expensive to hire skilled workers from other countries, and the company most affected in Oregon could be sportswear giant Nike.
The Christian right has become an increasingly powerful force in American politics at every level, from school boards to the presidency. Its roots trace back decades. (Published Oct. 2024) By @phoebepetrovic.bsky.social
Ingraham: They said you took $50,000 in cash in a bag from an undercover FBI agent… Homan: I did nothing criminal or illegal.
I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.
Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

OH DEAR OH MY OH HEAVENS NO! Hasn't she menaced immigrants, television networks and dogs? 🤌🎻
Newsom meant that she'll have a bad day because she can't take her botox mask to California no more.
Noem is a weak actress & an even weaker liar. How she was ever elected governor of South Dakota is beyond me, but the entire state is less than a million people. The city of Houston is about 3 times that size & she wouldn’t be elected dog catcher here.
Remember when they called us snowflakes?
Those poor eyebrows. Imagine being stuck to that all day.
You can tell she is scared by the way her eyebrows move and form a scared expression on her face
Think of all the families she’s terrorized. Scratch that. She doesn’t think.
It was because of ICE agents have to wear masks. She’s so stupid.
too fucking bad, Kristi. Hope you have more bad days to come. Nothing but bad days.

The takeaway is that nazism is still a proscribed organisation and the policies of the current regime are “nazification” This implies the possibility of defending yourselves in court as being inline with US anti Nazi laws which are still active in the USA. Good lawyers will have an opportunity here!
True Americans designate Maga as an organized terrorist group with its leader being Donald Trump.
Head in the general direction of Mordor, and then follow the signs for Tatooine.
Trump has designated Antifa as a terrorist organization, which will likely have all sorts of repercussions, none if them good, for American cities www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
The real reason Disney restored Kimmel's late-night show? We, the people, have extraordinary power. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-deeper-story-behind-americas
My feeling about Sinclair balking is that we should still cheer the Disney reversal. Celebrate every single goddamn thing that slows or ends any of this nonsense. There will always be more battles to fight. So go ahead and write Sinclair's advertisers. But spooking Disney is still a great result.
Dozens sounds like a very grave underestimate.
Because it’s bullshit.
Anyone else accepting $50k in cash would be in jail. So why are the rules different for politicians?
That’s not exactly a denial…
We should replace all politicians with Tylenol, because no-one knows how they work either. It would also be cheaper.
To reject straight lines is not mere defiance. Sometimes, freedom flows along the fluid curves.
Since we’re all talking about Tylenol you might also be interested to learn that how it actually works is a verifiable medical mystery! 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/tyle...

It's no good sending anything to the BBC that might require them to investigate themselves. As you've already complained to them it might be better to send it to OFCOM, and then the Information Commissioner's Office. Always makes me laugh when they say they are the best in the world. The clowns.

Trump thinks "we found an answer to autism". This is not it. Again, the research that already looked into it was ignored. HHS is no longer a source of reliable information as it was in the past. 🧪 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... archive.today/uT7km
I move that the addition of one more Dr. David Ho to this group would represent a Claus of Ho’s
Incredible to finally see people speaking the plain truth about the genocide in Gaza on mainstream TV
Today's announcement by Colombia to host an international conference on phasing out fossil fuels could not be more timely. Following the #ICJAO, it's clear that international cooperation to transition away from fossil fuels is necessary. fossilfueltreaty.org/phase-out-co...
BBC continued with its pro-Israel bias on the Stephen Nolan show (2025/09/21, BBC Radio 5 Live) Very sad to hear some callers willing to brush over the murder, by Israel. of over 64,000 people as though it has not happened.
The use of “Hamas-run health ministry” is editorial policy, as ordered by Robbie Gibb [BBC Director for England], a zionist and former owner of the Jewish Chronicle. A conflict of interest that BBC management chose to ignore until it was pointed out to them.

'Appear'
Horrible but unsurprising when you think about Meta's origins as a website for male Harvard students to rate the appearance of female students, using photographs without the permission or knowledge of the women. True to its roots - it's been poison from day one.

#ICYMI: Are we close to discovering life beyond Earth? Dr. Martin Dominik isn't certain, but he thinks we should be prepared to handle the consequences of finding that life. He spoke with Dr. Franck Marchis in this week's #SETILive. Watch the full interview: youtube.com/live/cULB0k2... 🧪 🔭

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else. But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence. It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.
Trump: "We're going to Chicago, we're going to Memphis next. And we're gonna clean up the crime in the cities."
I believe this needs no explanation. Stop this NOW. Before it's too late. I ask every day: Where are our lawmakers? Why are they impotent? Release the Epstein files. I believe that's where the answers lie. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
