Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes. “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.” “And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” “The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.” “The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.” “How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?” “Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

If there's one short video that encapsulates the insanity of the pandemic, this is it. "Trust the science" and "listen to the experts" and then the science experts deny their own actions.

Wow

Japan is using piezoelectric floor tiles in busy areas like Shibuya and Tokyo Stations to convert footsteps into clean electricity.

Recently, I spoke with an ER nurse about the overwhelming strain on our healthcare system from individuals with severe mental illness. These patients frequently cycle through emergency rooms, often intersecting with law enforcement, contributing to crime, and heightening public caution on streets and transit. The reality is that it leaves communities feeling unsafe and underscores a systemic failure -- think about all the repeat offenders being released until they escalate and are incarcerated! This isn't new—it traces back to deinstitutionalization, a policy shift starting in the 1950s driven by civil rights concerns, new antipsychotic medications, and cost-saving efforts. The 1963 Community Mental Health Act aimed to replace large state hospitals with community-based care, reducing inpatient numbers from over 558,000 in 1955 to a fraction today. But promised community funding fell short, leading to increased homelessness, incarceration, and untreated illness on our streets. Where has the money gone? I just wonder how many mass shootings and school shootings, are suffering from mental illness and should be under intense psych care. We must rethink severe mental illness treatment in the 21st century: Restore and increase funding for community-based services or return to what worked and fix what didn’t in the institutionalized system, crisis intervention, and supportive housing. Let's prioritize evidence-based approaches that promote dignity, recovery, and safety for all. Thoughts?

Astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon quotes atmospheric physicist Dr. Richard Lindzen: "It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world—that CO₂, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison." "What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that CO₂ from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin."

🚨🇺🇸The House just voted 357-65 to kill a resolution that would have released all congressional sexual misconduct reports Nancy Mace forced the vote after texts surfaced showing Rep. Tony Gonzales allegedly sent sexual messages to a staffer who later died by suicide. Mace wanted every report on congressional harassment made public. Congress said no. Overwhelmingly. The same government releasing millions of Epstein files voted to keep its own misconduct reports sealed. Members of Congress just told you exactly where they stand on accountability...

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OWNS HOCKEY GOLD MEDAL FOR THE USA 🇺🇸

46 years after the Miracle on Ice… Team USA is chasing its first gold since 1980 🇺🇸🥇

I can’t get over the fact that Canadians are calling Megan Keller’s game winner a bush league goal. The United States caught the Canadians on a line change and took advantage. Was a filthy deke. Goalie and defender both got walked.

Noether’s Theorem ✍️ This equation reveals that every continuous symmetry in nature, a change you can make to a system without affecting its physical laws, brings about a conservation law. In simple terms, if the universe does not react to a certain change in perspective, it must keep a related physical quantity constant. For example, since the laws of physics remain unchanged no matter when you are (Time Symmetry), energy is conserved. Since the laws are the same regardless of where you are (Space Symmetry), momentum is conserved. Because they stay the same regardless of which way you face (Rotation Symmetry), angular momentum is conserved. This insight shifted our view of the universe. We no longer see conservation as just a series of lucky observations, but as a necessary outcome of the symmetry of space and time.

USA!!!! Unreal.

Tiny seahorse

Boston Dynamics has shared a new video of its humanoid robot, Atlas. "Our engineers made one final push to test the limits of full-body control and mobility, with help from the RAI Institute."

It doesn't look real. This is the return point for 20000 drones.😍😍😍

Oof! 😂😆🤣
