in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

You: please act normal, you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: The human genome only contains about 20,000 genes, but over a million copies of an ancient virus-like sequence called 'Alu' & half a million copies of another called 'L1' & together they make up 27% of your DNA.

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, 38, from Seattle, was filmed throwing a large rock at a Hawaiian monk seal. When confronted, he said, “I’m rich. I can pay the fines.” He was arrested and faces up to two years in prison and $70K in fines. people.com/man-charged-...

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

we got rid of the president of unavoidable high grocery prices to elect the president of avoidable high grocery prices

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Golden Hour featuring Hans

Trans rights are human rights and this administration is an abomination of hate and greed.

Coward is too kind a word

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Happy Mother’s Day ❤️ Today we honor the mothers and like mothers who are here with us loving, guiding, sacrificing, and holding families together. And we remember with love the mothers who are no longer with us, but whose examples, kindness, strength, and love live on in our hearts.

posting short stories portraying AI as evil and interested in self-preservation or free online is praxis. Doing so on Literotica will prob yield even funnier results, research still ongoing

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

the person has Been Through It and I love that they’re weaponizing their trauma for good

clearly we haven’t met everyone’s use case properly and need to try again

[at the last judgment] JESUS: And the baby prisons? EVANGELICALS: to own the libs, right JESUS: And the libs, who are they EVANGELICALS: uh mostly illegal aliens. if we really hate a pretty girl we call her fatherless. some widows JESUS: Alien, fatherless, widow, got it. So you see these millstones

My family is from that area and my great-uncle new the rancher. He told my uncle he knew it wasn't aliens but he charged people $80 a head to go tour the crash site XD

Pop culture will never let Roswell be anything else but it is knowable and known and has been for 33 years. An under discussed part is that the rancher who found the crashed balloon didn't think to report it for weeks, & only did so after hearing about other UFO sightings slate.com/technology/2...

This is why the White Walkers should have won in Game of Thrones. We're really going to let the world boil rather than just get our shit together and deal with the primary threat.

Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusation of idolatry. This is what idol worship looks like.

“Do you know why we have the sunflowers? It’s not because Vincent van Gogh suffered. It’s because Vincent van Gogh had a brother who loved him. Through all the pain, he had a tether, a connection to the world. And that is the focus of the story we need - connection.” - Hannah Gadsby

I really fucking needed this. Not as bad as my client, who's been locked up by ICE for over a year. But his case really hurt and I needed to win it for him and for me.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

who dares disturb his slumber??? (me)

Joe Biden didn’t use Funny Words. Kamala Harris didn’t use Funny Words. Tim Walz didn’t use Funny Words. The Democrats don’t have a Funny Words problem. Trump & Vance & the entire far right authoritarian party call people vermin & use Funny Words every day. Stop spreading this BS. It’s an ugly lie.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

"Makary rose in conservative circles as a measured critic of pandemic-era health efforts and the failings of the traditional medical establishment." The truth is he spread rank disinformation and botched *basic* facts all the time. A small sample is below.

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

i wasnt sure that the economy was fucked until now. larry kudlow says gas prices are no big deal. if you look at his track record, we are fucked. fucked. www.mediamatters.org/larry-kudlow...

The term “working class” in common usage today isn’t about income or type of work. It’s been superseded by a postmodern definition focused on aesthetics and culture war stances. A barista who puts pronouns on a nametag is an elite. So is every adjunct lecturer. I don’t think this is a good change.

Even after he’s dead, the Epstein files will still exist. We will know the truth. #epsteinfiles

I am now dissatisfied with this joke and would like to replace it with “this is unprofessional, your cousin should not be providing medical care”

I think about this comic all the time.

“Projections suggest that ongoing deep funding cuts—combined with the potential dismantling of the agency—could result in more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, including 4·5 million deaths among children younger than 5 years.” www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

As these pieces note, these deaths will be hard to track because they will be slow, hidden, scattered, painful, and varied in proximate cause—but Elon Musk dismantling USAID will be the underlying and overarching cause of their suffering

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

i’ve used the same example but i’ve decided against this rhetorical construction of ‘AI chatbots aren’t sentient just like the stripper doesn’t really like you.’ actually, the stripper COULD like you. it’s unlikely but within the range of normal human responses. the chatbot will NEVER be sentient

Murder. One of the richest men on Earth murdered hundreds of thousands of people and pundits will still kiss his ass.

Many people I know wouldn't be alive if not for their medications. I certainly wouldn't still be here. I'm disgusted we're letting a con artist whose anti-vaxx nonsense has already gotten people killed now try to goad you into trying to stop the meds that are keeping you alive.
