I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one. It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

sometimes I think about this

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

Even setting aside ethics (but, yknow, THAT) - I just don’t want AI bullshit. I don’t want an AI pop star, movie, book, video game. Art is a conversation. Why would I stare at a dictionary run through the washing machine when I could read a poem lovingly constructed by someone’s hands?

It’s outrageous that Jimmy Kimmel is still censored on millions of Maryland TVs because Sinclair won’t stand up to Trump and his FCC’s threats to free speech. Their shameful bowing to the Dear Leader comes at the expense of viewers and the principle of freedom of expression.

There is no empirical evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Period. Once again the use of fake science endangers us all.

💜 THRONE IN THE DARK – ARC Giveaway! 💜 We’re about six weeks out from release, and I’ll be giving away my last two ARCs of THRONE this week, one to a US reader and one to an international reader! The form to enter is at the top of the links page in my bio.

If you're looking for ways to fight the despair from the state of the world like I am, may I recommend booking a tour at your local wildlife rescue, or walking dogs that need to be adopted or booking an animal meet and greet at your local zoo. Being with animals reminds me of the good in the world

Media discovering groypers for the first time reminds me of when they first encountered incels. Those of us who study misogyny or followed Gamergate had been screaming about incel culture and violence for years. Coverage of hate groups is far too reactive.

It’s wrong, but at least we know he’ll be at peace

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

I don't think anyone should be allowed to make being a politician a lifelong career. Power corrupts over time which is why term limits are important.

i want to see sam altman set on fire in a public space

still wild to me that UBI isn’t like the default left of center position

just your daily reminder that anyone claiming that ChatGPT has emergent consciousness doesn’t understand how LLMs work and also doesn’t understand how consciousness works (no one really does) and the idea that we automagically get to AGI from here is like claiming that inventing the wheel = flight

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has gone from horrible to hell on earth. Over 60K people have been killed, mostly women & children. The Netanyahu government must allow the UN-led aid distribution system to resume. Children are starving, and we are on the brink of a full-blown famine:

Adorable little kitty… 🥰 🐈

"healing isn't linear" ok but it should be. i should be better every day until i reach 100% and then keep going, becoming unstoppably, supernaturally healthy

“Maybe I’m done getting tattoos,” she lied

I finished it. After just over a year. I finished the wheel of time. This is the first series to hold me like ASOIAF.

I am almost done with Wheel of Time. I am feelings lots.

There's never been a better time to order books from bookshop.org Get your next hot read while you support local bookstores and reject wannabe oligarchs 🦾

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

private equity firms have destroyed this industry these are the top shareholders in Microsoft, they aren't interested in viable products, employee livelihoods, or anything. they're interested solely in "line go up this quarter"

If you're going to celebrate anything "American" the next day or two, celebrate this

I remember a time Nintendo leader Satoru Iwata took a paycut himself to prevent laying off developers. They really don't make the like they used to.

Right now in Maryland, there's a mom whose son relies on lifesaving chemotherapy treatments. She told me that if he loses access to his health insurance, it would be a "death sentence." If this bill passes, people will die. Keep calling. Keep fighting. We must stop this bill.

the basic throughline from the Court’s first amendment cases today is that the presence of children essentially removes constitutional protection from what would otherwise be clearly protected free speech.

So happy to at least have the Gilded Age to take my mind off the state of the world for a little.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

This is true, about "oppositions" I've seen and lived through: - Civil rights movement 1960s - VN war, late 60s + early 70s - Iraq war, 2002 - Econ/environ injustice, passim. - Now, Trump autocracy, most recently Iran war. Stand up. If people pretend they were "always" w you, sign you've won.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

3.2 million and counting, we see you, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Indiana! Incredible turnout, amazing job showing up! Side note: 10 MAGA agitators have been arrested. Thank you to everyone helping us track them down.

Hello from the No Kings protest in Philadelphia. The park is already pretty filled up, and it doesn’t actually start for another 30 minutes.

NO KINGS!!!

Dragon Age, my beloved. No one will ever make me hate you. 🐉💜

This made me so tired to listen to. The world is being run by anti-science conspiracy theorists who always believe lies over truth because obviously any explanation that sounds reasonable must be a cover-up for some evil tomfoolery.
