#Bridgerton back on our screens, let's revisit a classic thread. Queen Charlotte included a scene of King George III eating pussy. So it falls upon us, dear readers, to answer the crucial question: is it historically accurate? Did King George III eat pussy?
I worry that folks don’t realize just how normalized this stuff is on the right at this point. Southern strategy is done, we’re back to people openly defending overt racism, and have been for a while. I think the self-denial is strong for those whose jobs depend on pretending it ain’t so.
President Donald Trump went on a wild social media posting spree late Thursday night and into Friday morning, one that included a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.

U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, made another oversight visit at Camp East Montana last week. During her visit she met with women detained in Minnesota, detailing how many were still in their snow boots.

Most statin side-effects not caused by the drugs, study finds
While labels list dozens of possible risks only four are supported by evidence, say researchers
Almost all side-effects listed for statins are not caused by the drugs, according to the world’s most comprehensive review of evidence.
Other than the well-known risks around muscle pain and diabetes, only four of 66 other statin side-effects listed on labels – liver test changes, minor liver abnormalities, urine changes and tissue swelling – are supported by evidence. And the risks are very small, according to the systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Lancet. Continue reading...

The need for gender studies classes has never been greater.
Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfst: "We prefer somebody that's a strong, powerful person w/extremely good vision that can shoot a rifle very well to a person that's extremely weak, non-muscular, can't shoot a rifle, has no idea where the hell he is. We have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise"
GALLEGO: Can the president fire you?
BESSENT: He can
GALLEGO: Isn't it a conflict of interest for you to making these decisions and the president has full power?

uhhhhhhhh
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast on himself: "He may not have ever read the Bible, but he will be a much stronger messenger for us"
WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one?
BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings
WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000
He’s always been a toxic narcissist, but now he’s decompiling before our eyes
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
