I'm sure this means companies will pause to reevaluate their AI-first strategies since they're not cost-effective, and they were never trying to simply replace human workers, right? Right?? [insert cricket sounds]

Sharing this screen grab from a friend at NIH (with permission). This is a checklist program officers have to complete before a grant can be awarded. The first question: "Is this grant All Clean/Clear in the NIH Text analysis Tool?" 🧵1/3

The grant is "clean" means it no longer contains "terms potentially associated with misalignment with agency priorities" picked up by the "computational text analysis tool." Grants cannot be funded without checking this box. Yet NIH leaders like Bhattacharya & Letai insist NIH has no banned words.

I also want to address the use of the word "clean," which implies that grants that use "misaligned" words like "minority," "gender," "latinx," "equity," "lived experience," or "social determinants of health" are dirty. This kind of language matters. Grants that address these issues are not dirty.

I will never forgive AI for destroying one of my favorite emoji/symbols the humble sparkle

I don't know who's more adorable!!! 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

I cannot over emphasise how important this action is. Most MPs don't know this is going on, and by the time the guidance is laid it will be too late. Make sure you email your MP now – and encourage others to do the same.

Is the government employing comedians to write its media releases? UK ally Israel has become the biggest killer of journalists, and the UK has said practically nothing about this for the last 3 years.

This is why Rian Johnson had to kill him

MOOOOMMMM SAM IS HOGGING ALL THE GENDER AGAIN…

The DOJ has just indicted an advisor to Dr. Fauci for “conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations”. This is a witch hunt, plain and simple. They will never forgive Fauci for making them look like the fools that they are.

disliking someone is never a valid reason to misgender btw

Congratulations to the U.S. for building an educational and economic powerhouse envied around the world and then dismantling it because colleges were so bold to give lip service to non-discrimination efforts. academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

Trump has changed almost every aspect of the food stamp program, including changes to who is eligible, how much they receive, and what the stamps can be used for, resulting in the program helping 3 million fewer people. I gifted this so you can read it. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

buon 25 Aprile, long live the resistance 🇮🇹

I am sick of dead trans kids. One is too many. We need better data. But we also need to urgently build a world in which all trans people can live and thrive – instead of having to try and constantly endure indignity and fear.

"The larger outbreak [..] is also clearly caused by endemic transmission within the US (and Canada) and not from ‘immigration’ or other people traveling into the country as we have heard from HHS officials". www.cnn.com/2026/04/24/h...

"witch hunt" is about to take on a whole new meaning

The acting head of the CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Warrior or not flu, anthrax, smallpox and meningitis can still prove lethal. All are vaccine preventable or attenuated significantly by vaccination. Only, Idiots will not understand these facts.

Ya think?

Flu spreads efficiently especially in close quarters like military troop lodging facilities. If you are in the military you are required to get several vaccines because of how devastating outbreaks can be to troops and also because they are more likely be targeted by agents of biological warfare.

This parent did the right thing, but because other parents did not, her daughter is dead. Vaccinate your kids, people.

Yes, I've started a #Hannibal rewatch. Again.

okay more bug posting TARANTULAS ARE NOT DANGEROUS!!!! THEY ARE DEFENSIVE, RECLUSE, AND VERY DELICATE!!! THEY WANT TO RUN /AWAY/ FROM YOU, NOT /AT/ YOU!!! THERE HAS BEEN NO RECORDED CASUALTIES IN HUMANS FROM TARANTULAS!!! THEY ARE KITTEN WITH 8 LEGS!!!!

This is exactly right. It’s not a dilemma though. It’s a line in the sand that will at once once collapse what remains of the rule of law and regulatory infrastructure designed to protect the public.

An ophthalmologist w no record of scholarship in vaccines but a long record of alliance w MAHA, Prasad, Makary and Bhattacharya. Is a Covid skeptic interested in protecting public health?

I’m not a lawyer, and I’m exhausted, so I can’t say exactly which part of the constitution forbids it, but if the constitution does not forbid the president from suing the government in his personal capacity and then ordering the government to settle in his official one, it forbids nothing.

Fandoms evolve and some folks move on, maybe for a bit or forever. Hyperfixations change. But the #OFMD fandom is about the community first and foremost. It’s bigger than the show now in its way and not dependent on getting more. Think of all the money raised, for example! Crew for life 🏴‍☠️

yes im sure this is the appropriate way to address mandelson being implicated in the epstein files etc. very serious outlet the bbc, not at all a deeply corrupt clown car

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
