"There is a cult of ignorance in the US, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread...nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" — Isaac Asimov @RadioFreeTom

@ianmSC It's astonishing that the GOP is subjecting people to this to score cheap political points. Democrats have 7 times offered up bills to fund just TSA. GOP refused.

It's astonishing that the Democratic Party is so committed to dying on the hill of protecting illegal immigration that they're willing to subject people to this

@RepLuna Devil is in the details. "Want Voter ID" doesn't mean "Want SAVE Act". Most voters don't know what's the SAVE Act actually requires.

@SenMikeLee Those require a Real ID, which is NOT sufficient to vote under SAVE act. You know that. So why do you lie? How do you live with yourself? Have you no integrity?

Getting a job. Driving a car. Catching a flight. Opening a bank account. Attending the Democratic National Convention. Americans need ID for all of these things. Why not for voting in federal elections?

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Utter MADNESS is breaking out this morning at Atlanta airport after Chuck Schumer and Democrats prolong the DHS and TSA shutdown The TSA line is wrapped like a snake through baggage claim. "It's UNBELIEVABLE! Thousands and thousands of travelers trying to get through the main TSA checkpoint! They have WRAPPED this line through the baggage claim." The Senate GOP should immediately end the madness by nuking the filibuster for government shutdowns. REOPEN DHS NOW!

This is what happens when Jon Ossoff doesn’t do his job. Two hours in line just to get through the airport. The democrats would rather play politics than fund the people keeping this country moving and secure. Georgia deserves a senator who shows up, gets things done, and doesn’t leave you standing in line like this.

🚨 JUST IN: CNN was just FORCED to cover the HOURS-LONG TSA line caused by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats at the Atlanta airport "They're probably going to MISS THEIR FLIGHT." Traveler: "Hot, annoying, stressful." Don't vote Democrat in 2026!

@RadioFreeTom I recall story before the war saying Trump was surprised Iran didn't immediate capitulate at the mere sight of the aggregation of US military forces arrayed against it. He clearly has no understanding of....well, anything... Bombing a country often unites their people against you

Trump’s Plan A was to hit Iran hard, watch the theocrats flee, and then hand power to a government of his own choosing. Should such things not come to pass, Plan B was … well, apparently, there was no Plan B. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@PaulMayne6 Over my bed was a 1984 WS pennant with the team members listed. Had a Tigers pin (slightly different from that one) and a copy of Sparky's book Bless You Boys. It was great being a Tigers fan in the 80s!

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Kennedy is now moving to put the SAVE America Act as RECONCILIATION, which only needs 50+1 votes YES! DO IT! 🔥 "We HAVEN'T TRIED." "If this bill is as IMPORTANT as everybody says — and I think it is — we're talking about the trust of the American people in our elections...we should try it through reconciliation." "We have yet to try crafting a SAVE Act that passes [reconciliation]!" This would be huge. All we need is 50 if this gets done.

@curiouswavefn Agreed. There was enough unexplained data to drive physics to SR. But not so GR. It was Einstein's decision to try to apply the principles he used in SR to broader cases that led to GR.

Dirac once said that special relativity would have been discovered very soon if Einstein had not done so, but general relativity would have taken a very long time (although Hilbert came close - he got much of the math right but lacked Einstein's profound physical intuition and thought experiments).
Akshat@star_stufff

Einstein submitted his paper “The Foundations of the General Theory of Relativity” to Annalen der Physik this week in 1916. It collected his work from throughout 1915, presenting the broader scientific community with a complete and coherent account of general relativity.

Two identical twins grow up in exactly the same environment and have the same experiences. If one commits a crime and the other doesn't, what explains the difference?
