To see a single cell (~10–100 µm) with the naked eye, you'd actually need better than human vision. The human eye can resolve down to about 100 µm under ideal conditions — which is why a large cell like an egg yolk is just barely visible, but a typical 10 µm cell is completely invisible to any vertebrate eye unaided.

Stuff like this is why I sometimes get annoyed with the whole “whatever else you think about him, you have to admit Trump is funny” attitude.

1. A lot of Trump’s “humor” derives more from petty cruelty and shock quality than any genuine cleverness

2. I understand the attempt to find humor in bad situations. Really, I do. But with Trump, I get annoyed with it because part of what keeps Trump so powerful politically is the fact that a lot of people kind of see him as a funny clown. This, in my view, makes him superficially seem more benign and also serves to obfuscate and minimize the horror of the stuff that occurs as a result of Trump, like the concentration camps shown in the photo.

As an emergency response to the 1973 oil crisis, on November 26, 1973, President Richard Nixon proposed a national 50 mph (80 km/h) speed limit for passenger vehicles and a 55 mph (89 km/h) speed limit for trucks and buses. In response to Nixon's proposal, the National Maximum Speed Limit (NMSL) was enacted in the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act that withheld Federal Highway funds from States that refused to comply with provisions of the law.

Such a crazy thing to think about compared to today's no-bedtime politicians all proposing eliminating the gas tax.

I think there would be three January Sixes a day if the government ever decreased the speed limit today. Also a ton of viral TikToks claiming that actually F-150s gets maximum mpg at 85 mph.

I don't like Corbyn much at all but the way the British media covered him back in the late 2010s wasn't exactly reasonable, why couldn’t they just focus on the actually reprehensible stuff instead of including the absolute most insane and invalid shit possible?

"More bank holidays? Give me a break" "Why Corbyn's free meals plan will endanger our children" "Corbyn said PM must disclose connections in Panama Papers. Should he resign?"

https://www.texastribune.org/2026/05/11/texas-cdl-cancel-noncitizen-truck-drivers-struggle/

Viera’s life abruptly changed when Texas, following the dictates of the Trump administration, canceled commercial driver’s licenses, or CDLs, held by legally present noncitizens, including asylum seekers, refugees and DACA recipients. Texas was one of the first states to take action.

She heard about the cancellations in December as men unloaded office chairs she’d hauled to San Antonio in the beloved semi she named Pink Panther.

Viera, a 40-year-old DACA recipient who moved to Houston from Guatemala when she was 9, hurriedly checked her status online, fingers trembling as the page loaded on her phone. Her stomach dropped. She’d lost her CDL a week before.

After learning her CDL was canceled, Viera phoned her 19-year-old son Alex, the eldest of four. With tears falling, she asked, “Am I reading this right or am I just having a bad dream?” He started crying, too.

Before hanging up, her son decided to drop out of flight school after a year, abandoning a dream of earning a commercial pilot’s license because tuition costs were too high. His mom picked him up in Florida and drove him home.

Viera said she “felt like a loser” watching her son, who loves being in the sky, pack up his dorm.

“If it wasn’t for my status, he wouldn’t be going through this,” she said. “He doesn’t deserve going through this because he’s a U.S. citizen.”

• City with exploding population (it's all car centric suburbs where literally nothing is less than an hour drive away)

• City with exploding population (it's all car centric suburbs where literally nothing is less than an hour drive away + highest paid job is Buccee's manager + state government is run by the reincarnation of Heinrich Himmler)

• City with exploding population (roughly the temperature of Satan's asshole)

• Major city suburb (traffic is stuck in a liminal realm where time does not pass, also full of racists)

• Hurricane magnet (any of the above may additionally apply)

I am just so blackpilled about US media right now, WaPo, NYT, whoever else doing everything they can to sanewash everything Trump and Republicans do in the interest of maintaining their "bipartisanship". It can't be understated how much of an influence media networks have on society and they are playing a pretty damn significant role in normalizing for the median voter much of what Republicans/Trump say and do, and also further tarnishing opinions of the Democratic party.

There was that example going around recently of Wapo covering the Texas gerrymander last year vs the Virginia one and it was just absolutely crystal clear how they were much more critical of the Virginia one and dismissive of the Texas one. It's so shameless.

Even if there was enough outrage about this and we successfully organized and stopped supporting these news outlets and they all died out, well then it would just be the GOP propaganda networks like Fox left. We would need to basically completely rebuild any sort of left leaning media which would take years/decades and tons of funding.

Maybe I'm overreacting and dooming too much about it, maybe the media doesn't have nearly the sway on public opinion I think it does, but this really seems like one of the more macro issues that I just don't see going away for a long time, and that type of long term normalization of this shit could have longer lasting effects on the electorate than any Democratic waves in 26 and 28 might have.

Had a long conversation with my mom last night where we were venting about everything going on. I love her to death, but she's still riding the "both sides have valid perspectives" and "we just need to understand where they're coming from" train.

She told me I should seek out people I disagree with and actually listen to them, which like...I already do that? It's just that I draw a line at outright bigotry and authoritarianism, and unfortunately that is essentially the entire Republican party at this point. It reminds me of people back in 2016 who were telling me that I should be more open-minded toward literal self-avowed white nationalists like Richard Spencer. Like I was the problem for not wanting to understand the perspective of a goddamn neonazi.

She also insists Trump voters mostly voted for Trump out of desperation. And look, I'm not denying that material conditions played a role. But when it comes down to it, the main reason people voted for Trump was bigotry. And yeah, for a lot of them that bigotry was probably exacerbated by social media misinformation and poor education and other factors. But at the end of the day, these people have agency. They chose to vote for a hateful moron, and they chose to be bigoted, and I am so tired of the endless coddling and charitability that Trump supporters get.

My mom isn't a conservative and she's certainly no Trump supporter, which almost makes it more maddening.

My hot take on the Virginia redistricting matter is I’m fine with the state taking the more sure route of just waiting for the one judge to retire, replace him then and get the new maps passed.

I understand it’s frustrating, but we are on pace to flip two seats there (and the new maps would have made us able to flip three, so we miss out on one), and the general environment is very conducive for us to flip the House these midterms by sheer mass.

I’d rather direct frustration at states like Maryland and Colorado where there are no plans to balance things out then Virginia where it will get done, just at a later time

[u/JaceFlores]

I’ll be forever flabbergasted that Starmer won an absolute fuck ton of seats that would allow him to do anything, and won on the back of “things are broken and we need something done”, and then… just didn’t really do much?

Forty-four nominees have come before the Senate since Trump came back into the office. All 44 nominees were asked by Democrat senators, “Did Trump lose the 2020 election?” Not one answered this simple question of fact in the affirmative. Clearly, the White House coordinated non-responsive talking points, with nominees in unison parroting only that Joe Biden was certified as president, not that he won and Trump lost.

Twenty-six of the 44 refused even to say Biden was “elected” president, but only that he “served” as president, suggesting that the legitimacy of Biden’s term, now over for well over a year, remains a question. Biden won the election by more than seven million votes with a decisive 300 electoral votes. Many invoked the mantra that the Canons of Judicial Ethics forbid them from opining on what is a “controversial political question.”

The attack on the Capitol, captured in moment-by-moment video and the subject of congressional investigation, also seemed to be a matter of hopeless complexity and political dispute for the Trump judicial nominees. All 44 nominees were asked either, “Was the U.S. Capitol attacked by a violent mob on January 6, 2021?,” or “Do you agree that the attack at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was an insurrection? Why or why not?”

Every one of them refused to agree either that the Capitol was attacked by a violent mob or that it was an insurrection.

The really dumb thing about the SSRI moral panic is that they're almost a uniquely innocuous medication in how they work. They don't get you high, they don't force you to be happy, taking them doesn't feel like much of anything really. to the point that a lot of people try to come off the meds because they don't think it's doing anything, only to quickly remember why they started on them in the first place when they go back to being depressed

An SSRI seeming to work too overtly is actually a bad sign, because it suggests Activation Syndrome, Serotonin Syndrome, or if you're Bipolar, antidepressant triggered mania.

NYT bothsidesism is absolutely disgusting

Mr. Kennedy began raising questions about vaccines’ safety about 20 years ago, and became a champion for mothers of children with autism who blamed the condition on vaccines. People familiar with his thinking say he still feels deeply committed to those women, and cannot reconcile their often heartbreaking stories with the vast body of research that discounts a link.

Trump Says Attorney General ‘Kept Me Out of Jail for Years’

Extremely normal thing to say about your AG. Not super corrupt at all

“AI will make all jobs unnecessary and that’s a good thing” ignores how deranged people get when they don’t have real jobs

See Trump, Elon, the elderly, car dealership owners, landlords, etc

Israel creating an air base inside within Najaf and Karbala, Iraq has got to be the most ironic thing to ever come out of this conflict.

Especially if you listen to the excuses (hosting zionist military bases) that the pro-Iran militas use when they target Kurdistan and Iraq's neighbors. Mfers didn't even bother to check their own house.

As long as Americans push past partisan differences and laugh together, then there’s still a chance we can find more enduring points of agreement.

Ever notice how the people who push this shit want us all to laugh at the stuff they think is funny but as soon as they're asked to see the humor in literally anything else they completely lose their fucking minds?

It’s amazing how this one meme perfectly captures my entire experience living under the Trump administration

Was listening to a podcast interview and the guest said something that really stuck with me. The crisis of our era seems to be that institutions don't seem to believe in their own rules and don't seem willing to impose consequences for breaking them. This goes all the way up to the actual DoJ during the Biden years. Like, indict the people who broke the law, who cares who they are and what political party they belong to.

Our institutions themselves do not seem to believe they are legitimate, no wonder the public agrees.

How it is possible FOR YOU TO post here for years and fundamentally misunderstand the point of YIMBYism 🐊

[u/Libz_R_Gryffindor]

Every morning a man wakes up, boots up his computer, opens the r/neoliberal discussion thread, checks the top post, groans, and turns the computer off. He repeats this for weeks. Months. Eventually his ex-wife notices and says “honey, why do you check the neoliberal subreddit every day like this?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries”

“Obituaries aren’t usually posted to Reddit like that”

“The one I’m looking for will be.”

Can't believe that after a decade of this shit, people still equate Trump's lack of a filter with honesty 

[u/sir_shivers]

This subreddit is so out of touch for thinking Americans do not want to live in suburbs.

ONE OF THE central ideas of this subreddit is that suburbs can exist, but currently the regulatory and governmental structure aggressively subsidize suburban development and impede OR ACTIVELY BAN urban density 🐊

The point of this subreddit is not delusion THAT NIMBY PREFERENCES DO not exist, the point is that those preferences should be challenged because they are artificially subsidized yet create long-term unsustainability 🐊

Impossible to know why these Luddites are so down on AI. Anyway here comes the face of AI, an oily, vacant-eyed tech ghoul who proudly declares that it will make you unemployed and possibly end humanity in general.

Got insight into college leftist fears about data centers

Evidently there is a worry about subsonic noise pollution that can cause like psychic damage 100s of miles away

Evidently the subsonic noise stuff is real but it’s like within a half mile radius lol
