Maybe a crossover ep w Scott Hasn't Seen??? @doughboys.bsky.social + @cbbworld.bsky.social @scottaukerman.bsky.social

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Three thoughts. 1. It’s always been about the white nationalism 2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning 3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

Trivers and Epstein... vile 🤮

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House. They have rushed it to the Senate for passage. If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk. Live here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzwe...

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

This is crazy. These are just regular people out here, wearing snow goggles and gas masks, holding cardboard signs telling ICE to GTFO of MN as federal agents spray tear gas and set off flash bangs or whatever the hell those booms are. More people rolling out trash cans, and now couches.

Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

Minneapolis, today. Note how three agents holding the civilian down. Why spray? www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

One of the most valuable lessons my father taught me was to use my voice to speak up whenever I see wrong doing. Thanks to every researcher who spoke up against this unethical study and for every reporter who amplified. Advocacy matters. @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Maybe I’ll tell y’all about Thanksgiving in Uzbekistan, where I was in the peace corps 2000-2001. I lived in a town; nearest American lived in a qishloq - a true village. A few of us somehow figured out to meet there. (How? No internet, no phones. No recollection of how we planned anything.) 1/

COATES: “Trump’s saying, ‘Y’all, I’m just gonna kill people.’ And the Greatest Deliberative Body has nothing to say about it. Y’all are punk, y’all are cowards.”

It’s more important than ever to support creators & artists you love - so happy to support @cbbworld.bsky.social ✨

Over a year after the state approved $2 billion to help schools repair and replace their aging buildings, around three dozen superintendents told @idahostatesman.com and ProPublica that their buildings are still not fully accessible.

NOOOOOO!!!! 💔💔💔 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Other trans journalists have also covered Mamdani’s incredible ad. It was so meaningful to so many.

I love Portland Frog and the AMPHIFA movement so I made some protest art to go along with the movement. No AI was used to illustrate the frog - I drew it myself. Feel free to use this image - just don’t claim it as your own or sell it.

This is unbelievable. Conversion therapy increases fatalities. It does the opposite of what treatments are supposed to do. We ban medical treatments that claim to heal while actually harming. That's not a free speech issue, it's a malpractice issue. We are in such an upside-down world.

Here is a bat emoticon you’re welcome /|\^._.^/|\

When writing an article/book, you may experience the situation where you make a non-trivial change every time you look at it. This means one of two things: i) You're on the right track, so keep on editing (and presumably, improving) it. ii) You should have submitted it a month ago (or longer).

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Instead of the next judicial education session, all the judges watch this tiktok instead.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

I have low vision and a degree in data science. My advice: use longer image descriptions for code, offer cheat sheets in a format other than PDF, provide copies of content shown on the board so student can view on their own device, allow use of VSCode or other IDE for robust screen reader support

"Well, maybe I'll just use Instagram for..." No. Get off Instagram, get off Threads, stop using any Meta product, do not start using a new Meta product. There is no flavor of toxic waste that is good to eat.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads
