Chances are that if you see something that doesn't quite make sense, you're right. I feel kind of bad for those who are unable to differentiate between what's real and what's barely plausible, but certainly sensational.

@BodycamVideos_ 106 in a minivan? Not if she held the pedal to the floor for 10 minutes. And on a hole-filled suburban two-lane?

@RT_com Nah, that was just really strong espresso.

‘Burning smell’ detected from NASA’s $23 MILLION ARTEMIS II TOILET — NYP Imagine waking up near the moon and not having a working toilet

@RedWavePress WTF does 'CLAPS back' mean? Who uses that expression, almost exclusively?

NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.” “I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”

@IraninSA Pretty poor example of a civilization. But I mean hey, at least you're not Afghanistan, am I right? Huh?

Stone Age? At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder. We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.

@gothburz That's funny. Very creative. You could write novellas to pad your income.

I am the Director of Professional Signal Intelligence at LinkedIn. Every time you log in, we search your computer. Not metaphorically. We run code that scans your installed software. Every browser extension. Every application. We catalog it. We transmit it to our servers. We share it with a third-party cybersecurity firm you've never heard of. The tracking pixel is zero pixels wide. We hid it off-screen. You never consented. We never asked. Our privacy policy doesn't mention it. That's networking. We call the program Project Handshake internally. The Slack channel is handshake-telem. In 2024 we scanned for 461 products. By February this year we scan for over 6,000. I don't know what all of them are. Nobody does. Someone on my team added categories for browser extensions that identify practicing Muslims. Someone added extensions for neurodivergent users. Someone added 509 job search tools. That last one is my favorite. We can tell which of our one billion users are secretly looking for new jobs. On the platform where their current boss checks their profile. That's networking. We scan for 200 products that compete with LinkedIn's sales tools. Apollo. Lusha. ZoomInfo. We know each user's real name, employer, and job title. We mapped exactly which companies use which competitor products. We extracted their customer lists from their users' browsers. Without anyone knowing. Then we sent legal threats to the users we caught. The EU told us to open our platform to third-party tools. We published two restricted APIs. They handle 0.07 calls per second. Our internal API, Voyager, handles 163,000 calls per second. In Microsoft's 249-page compliance report, the word "Voyager" appears zero times. That's networking. I presented our Software Disclosure Rate metrics at a leadership summit last quarter. The conference room is called The Fishbowl. Glass walls. Appropriate. There's a plaque on the wall. Q3 Competitive Landscape Award. I won it for the extension scanning initiative. Someone asked if users had a way to opt out. I said they can close their browser. The room laughed. I wasn't sure why. I browse LinkedIn on a Chromebook with no extensions. Most of the team does. The platform that helps you get hired searches your computer every time you visit. We know your name. We know your employer. We know your religion. Your disabilities. Your politics. Whether you're looking to leave. That's networking. The system works exactly as designed. I designed it.

@arappeport How much universal pre-K could be paid for by the Medicaid fraud? ?

New: War clarifies Trump’s spending priorities: the military, not child care. The cost of bombing Iran for a month could have paid for about a year of universal pre-K, per 2022 budget estimates. nytimes.com/2026/04/02/us/…

@FoxNews Brilliant.

CHAOS ON TAP: A man accused of stealing a beer truck led deputies on a chase in Indiana before crashing into a patrol car, police say. He was arrested and reportedly faces several charges, including attempted murder, auto theft, and operating while intoxicated.

@washingtonpost BORDER PATROL DID IT!!! lol.....

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a visually impaired Rohingya refugee, was found dead days after being dropped off in a parking lot by Border Patrol in February. His death has now been ruled a homicide, prompting calls for an investigation into the circumstances. wapo.st/3O1Vpzh

@Rainmaker1973 x.com/doctrphil/stat…

A new, highly mutated COVID-19 variant nicknamed “Cicada” (BA.3.2) is spreading in the United States. The BA.3.2 variant, first detected in South Africa in late 2024, has now been identified in at least 23 countries and in at least 25 U.S. states. It is gaining traction slowly but steadily, particularly since late 2025. What sets Cicada apart is its significant genetic changes: it carries approximately 70 to 75 mutations in the spike protein — the part of the virus that attaches to and enters human cells. These mutations appear to help the variant partially evade antibodies from prior infections or vaccination, potentially allowing it to spread more effectively even among people with some existing immunity. So far, there is no evidence that BA.3.2 causes more severe disease than other recent Omicron subvariants. Symptoms remain typical of COVID-19, including cough, fever, sore throat, fatigue, congestion, and in some cases shortness of breath or loss of taste/smell. Current COVID-19 vaccines (targeting earlier strains like JN.1) still offer protection, though laboratory studies suggest they may be somewhat less effective at preventing infection with Cicada compared to dominant strains. However, they continue to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death. This pattern has become familiar with SARS-CoV-2: new variants often evolve to become better at spreading and evading immunity rather than necessarily becoming more deadly. Public health experts continue to monitor BA.3.2 closely through genomic surveillance, but it currently accounts for only a small fraction of cases in the U.S.

@AdameMedia What!!? Why not just crash a container ship into one of the piers?

BREAKING : 🚨 MAGA TERRORISM Trump has just officially taken credit for destroying “the biggest bridge in Iran” Terrorism is the use of indiscriminate violence to achieve political ends. America is officially a terrorist state and MAGA is officially a terrorist movement.

@Acyn Hilarious...

Moulton: I know active duty Marines who now refer to Pete Hegseth’s department as the department of war crimes. That's because they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime. It's meant to hurt civilians.  This is the same stuff that we criticize Vladimir Putin for doing in Ukraine. He doesn't know how to get out. So what is he doing? He's resorting to war crimes. It's an embarrassment.

@grantstern Yeah, that's terrible. Did he? Did he.....

Donald Trump cares so much about our troops that he foreclosed 10,000 military families out of their homes to save the federal government a little money. Why? Because Joe Biden made a plan to help them but Trump shut it down. npr.org/2026/04/02/nx-…

@Rainmaker1973 When I was a little kid, we called the world's biggest air cleaning machine 'The woods'.

Iceland switched on the biggest air-cleaning machine on Earth. In May 2024, a facility called Mammoth began operations in Iceland. Built by Swiss company Climeworks, it’s designed to remove up to 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year – 10 times more than its predecessor, Orca. The process is called direct air capture (DAC). Giant fans pull in ambient air, and specialized filters trap CO₂ molecules. That CO₂ is then mixed with water and pumped deep underground into basalt rock formations, where it slowly turns into solid stone through a natural mineralization process. And it’s all powered by Iceland’s geothermal energy, meaning the entire system runs on clean, renewable power. The captured CO₂ is stored by Climeworks’ partner, Carbfix, which developed the underground injection method. Over time, the gas reacts with the rock and becomes part of the Earth – locked away for good.

@ProudSocialist It's how you say, "And don't come back!"

What the fuck! The US is deploying a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East: The USS George HW Bush, which is a nuclear aircraft carrier. You don’t deploy a third aircraft carrier if you have “already won the war.” This proves Trump is lying & that the war is far from over.

@RT_com Didn't I see a 2006 Corolla in there too? Couldn't they come up with more recent video?

@OlenaRohoza Hilarious. 'It's over.' lmao ....

“We will no longer purchase American weapons,” said the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in response to the acting leader of the United States. Until now, the money flowing into the American military-industrial complex was not just business. It was, in fact, a ritual of loyalty. You weren’t just buying missile systems — you were buying the right to belong. As of today, it’s over. This is how the Crown Prince responded to the insulting remarks made by the idiot Trump toward him.

@washingtonpost It doesn't change the fact that they're wards of the state. Sorry, 'were' wards of the state.

@Rainmaker1973 That's hilarious 😂!!!!

Study shows COVID vaccines decreased heart attacks and strokes. A sweeping analysis of nearly 46 million adult health records has delivered a clear verdict: COVID-19 vaccination sharply lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, directly refuting persistent claims to the contrary. Published in Nature Communications, the study followed people across England from December 2020 through January 2022. It documented a 10% drop in serious arterial blood clots (including heart attacks and strokes) after the first dose alone. Protection strengthened further with subsequent doses: a 20% reduction among those fully vaccinated with Pfizer/BioNTech and a striking 27% reduction for AstraZeneca recipients. The researchers were upfront about rare side effects—myocarditis and certain clotting disorders—that can occur shortly after vaccination, but stressed these remain exceptionally uncommon. By comparison, catching COVID-19 itself dramatically raised the odds of major cardiovascular events. Lead co-author Dr. Samantha Ip described the results as some of the strongest evidence yet that the vaccines do more than prevent severe infection: they also confer lasting protection against two of the world’s leading killers.

@FurkanGozukara This is it!!! It's all over now!!!! lol.....

Massive geopolitical shift. A top Chechen commander confirms his shock troops in Ukraine are just waiting for Putin's order to deploy to Iran and fight US forces. The Ukraine war and the Middle East conflict are about to merge into one massive global war.
