I know the @dropout.tv folks are constantly chasing virality and views, but these short form "debates" fundamentally misunderstand what the premise of the show is.

Wild how anyone buys the fiction that new fossil fuel investments are good for the economy when the Strait of Hormuz has fucked supply for the forseeable future and initiated a mass drive to move away from oil. How is no one pressing Carney in this? Even beyond the climate angle it’s irrational.

When you tell colleagues that the public still maintains deep trust in our work (imperfectly & with growing fractures) they are often *very* surprised, in part because of the organized investment in "a rhetoric of science in crisis” to foster an actual crisis. www.nature.com/articles/d41... a 🧵

The world needs more whistleblowers and unions. Why do we feel our only recourse for survival in the present is to sell both our morality and our future. Refusal, of our participation, engagement, and labor is key to the changing the value systems which we currently inhabit.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

Blaming sex workers for society's ills is as old as the profession itself. Never mind that men are the primary consumers! Even before the Montreal shooting, I saw so many posts about "Girls! Don't be Bonnie Blue!" when there's only 1 Bonnie Blue but 1,000 men who signed up to have sex with her.

"...Sanchez-Estrada was not at the protest, but was convicted of corruptly concealing a document or record after prosecutors said he moved leftwing zines and other materials at the request of Rueda, his wife, after she was arrested. Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday."

Now the appearance of A24’s Scott Belsky on Peter Thiel’s secret society group member list (alongside high-ups from Google, YouTube, Anthropic, etc) make more sense, unfortunately.
