god I want platner to go away just so people STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME

Just a reminder for the folks re- discovering screwworm that the effects of public health are invisible until it fails and that the people involved need everyone of good faith to fight as hard for it as they can, always and forever. That kind of burden sucks, but the alternate is... This.

In alternate universe every news network has a live count of days Hormuz has been closed and wall-to-wall of all the ships not going and gas price reporters

it has to take place simultaneously with tribunals of Trump regime officials. build the case publicly that the extraordinary is necessary and ignore the bleating of the centrist press.

there's no argument against court packing that doesn't implicitly assume we can keep the status quo and we cannot keep the status quo, Roberts et al are absolutely eager to demonstrate that

Turns out the number of people who would rather rule over a smoking pile of ashes is far more than I would have ever expected.

You pack the court or 6 justices face the wall for treason under the color of law.

If he's supposed to be the freak, why are they all so obsessed with his genitals and bodily fluids?

Man, between this and the post tying the Guardians loss in 2016 to our current timeline it's been a rough hour or so for Cleveland Bsky.

Here ya go. Also, this is the same guy: www.ms.now/opinion/dhs-...

I get in a way what they are trying to do with her in RoH but I don't know if a 4 year title reign is more impactful than being personally impressive in this "sport." I hope they can do both, but let's not expire too much of Athena's remaining time pls.

Solve one problem, create another #AEW

Imagine running an entertainment company where your second act is among the best things that anyone else has done in you field

I am watching an event where Okada vs Takeshita is the 2nd match on the show and that in and of itself is kinda insane?

The deepest challenge to student learning is the transactional system of education they've been steeped in. Harvard's actions have just turbocharged this problem by making the desired outcome of the transaction scarcer. More stress, more dishonesty, more AI use, less collaboration. Good luck, fools!

woo burrito taxi discourse again sign me up

Aging is, in part, a repeated succession of "wait, that was how long ago?" moments.

<stares directly into the camera from Cleveland>

"It's about ethics in video game journalism" walked so "it's about fairness in women's sports" could run.

Really don't get this. Faculty set the standards in their classes. They set the benchmarks to meet each grade level. If students meet those benchmarks, they should get the grade. I don't see why students have to take the hit because the profs at the "best school in the world" don't update pedagogy.

Number one priority for me is the appointment of an AG that will wreck these people's lives, and then wreck the people behind it immediately after.

Reupping this from the other day for no particular reason.

I aspire to this dude's aesthetic but instead I have a tracklist for how you're supposed to listen to Master of Puppets to really "get it"

Third Way is a right wing front group and it's time to start treating them that way.

Archaea, Bacteria, Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista

Polis is a double agent at this point and he should be removed from the party, preferably by being shot into the distance from a cannon.

very much of the view that a democratic congress should wield the guarantee clause against ad hoc, mid-decade redistricting, a practice which is an end run against representative government itself

First day of summer break. True bliss is the several seconds of joy between the thought "what do I have to do today?" and the spoken "whatever the hell I want!"

pre-emptively opting out over whatever the testicular discourse is about to be <puts fingers in ears> lalalalalalalallalalaalalalala

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Virginia Supreme Court declaring Democratic gerrymandering illegal while Republicans are literally wrapping themselves in Trump flags while disenfranchising black southerners is the most on brand moment for the modern USA.

honestly new litmus test for the California Governor election should be if you support going all the way with a 52-0 map now that John Roberts ruled the VRA is over

I think a lot of people are underestimating just how politically radicalizing this stuff is, when you see what the right is getting away with, including with the blessing of the Supreme Court majority

"With you and what army?" -- L. Louise Lucas, hopefully.

They need to do what Ohio Republicans did and just put the map into effect anyway and dare the Court to stop them.

The Democratic ad copy practically writing itself in real time.

The people who employ those journalists like him and want him to keep doing what he's doing as long as he can, it's not super complicated.

Josh Marshall: The complement to killing the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court has to be criminal accountability for the corrupt members of the Trump administration. There's simply no other way forward.

i want just one (1) tech reporter to ask sam altman this exact question “if your ai is so advanced, dont you have a fiduciary duty to your company to fire yourself and replace you with your highly advanced model?”

We are now 26 years into the Supreme Court's attempt to extinguish democracy and undo Reconstruction, which is rapidly accelerating at this very moment. I do not understand how many of you continue to have politics that are not fanatically focused on whatever has the best chance to end John Roberts

may the fourth be with ur mom amirite

Incredible thread with important context, check it out:

Crow folks, I <3 you all. Just sayin'.

Because we lived through it and exist within its milieu we have no idea how truly good we all have it historically speaking. Normal saline infusions have saved more lives than anything outside of vaccination and it didn't become well established as a therapy until *90 years ago*.

It's all fandoms. WWE just had their biggest event of the year a few weeks ago and there are two dozen stories about how fans accosted performers in hotels and airports. People are losing the connection between fiction and reality.

It's a true testament to the primacy of vision as the primary human sense that much of our ability to advance scientifically is tied to our ability to visualize complex systems. Save a life -- invest in microscopy and spectroscopy.
