If museums are makin' you sad, maybe blame your great, great grandpa instead of the museums.

The implication of this lie is of course that you can determine someone’s citizenship status just by looking at them, which is some typical republican racist assholery.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Jane Goodall on Donald Trump: “I see the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another

lol, wrong almost half the time

“White nationalist tattoos are totes professional of course”

Hegseth is so fixated on physical fitness and grooming standards I keep waiting for him to call for a return to the glory days when our top Navy pilots would compete in sexy shirtless beach volleyball games.

here are some helpful steps for academics who are considering creating genAI images to use for lab branding: 1. don't

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Well don't I feel stupid

Sharing for this strong opening graf. “President Trump, a slumlord at heart, is quietly halting enforcement of the Fair Housing Act...” newrepublic.com/post/200749/...

I interrupt all the misery in this world for 90 seconds on whether chili is soup.

It’s time for Butker far right jokes. Get them in.

What movie do you consider “perfect”

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

You cant’ be admitted into college on the basis of race, but you sure as hell can be put in jail for it according to the Supreme Court

As a guy who got a cancer that was probably caused by a virus, I think we should have /more/ vaccines.

"Despite record donations and sales, the CU athletic department required direct institutional support of $54.9 million over the last two years......The Prime Effect, for all the good it has done for CU, has been extremely expensive." www.timescall.com/2025/09/07/c...

We’re making it easier for Coloradans to get the updated COVID and flu vaccines this fall—no doctor visit required. Available at local pharmacies and supermarkets without a prescription, these vaccines save lives and protect our communities. www.colorado.gov/governor/new...

Hey @colorado.gov, this is what public health leadership actually looks like

Mikel Arteta might win something as Arsenal manager, but if he does then he's going to have to let off the handbrake more readily than he did at Anfield. #LFC never looked overly threatened & now they're bringing in Isak. Read my latest piece here: www.andcouldheplay.com/a-performanc...

The book people need to absolutely read is The AI Con by @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social. Complete review in my column. 2/2

As RFK Jr. makes his push to be the largest mass murderer in US history let's remember the spineless rich dudes who supported his nomination. Great job @colorado.gov www.denverpost.com/2024/11/14/j...

the irony is the people of new york city did not even recognize him they just know an asshole when they see one

They tried to put him through the grinder, but the people recognized a hero.

“I mean what if they reversed the fans just to mess with the president’s hair?”

If you're an assigning editor looking for longform (and sometimes shortform!) dispatches on politics, religion and weirdos in the Western US, I'm looking to expand the roster of outlets I write for. I have more ideas than I know what to do with. Contact form here: www.leahsottile.com#Info

What? The plagiarism and exploitation fueled machine that produces nonsensical garbage while it burns the planet isn't actually helpful? Wow, total shock.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Does Vance know what this will do to couch prices?

May James Dobson burn and rot below for all eternity. A cruel, venal man who caused grave harm with every breath he took.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, and who dedicated his life to hating and diminishing others, has died. I wrote this back when Pat Robertson, a man of equally immoral character, died, and it still applies: it is okay to speak ill of the dead when speaking ill is all the person merits.

Misinformation is surging. Example: LA Magazine's coverage of the Palisades Fire. In several stories, it suggested links to the Earth Liberation Front. I spent much of 2021-2022 interviewing people in the so-called "Family," this is absurd. I'll explain: lamag.com/news/la-mayo...

Local fans, my next Geologist's Walk Around Lake Merritt is coming up in a week.

Yes, famously you are unable to participate around a table of vegan food unless you have been certified 100% vegan by the Scott Pilgrim Vegan Police.

“Trusting the experts” tries to make well supported scientific consensus about individuals instead of about piles and piles of evidence and a testable process. The “experts” don’t need to be trusted, that’s why they publish their data and methods for everyone to review.

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

For years, politicians tried to divide "useful" STEM fields from "useless" humanities. Turns out that when they come for higher education, they're coming for all of us equally, and we need to stand together and defend the intrinsic value of intellectual inquiry, separate from employability.

Finally a punchable stamp!

you have my vote, Andrew Cuomo!

This is a dark stain on football, and will always be remembered as such. That UEFA nor FIFA did or said anything about the hundreds killed and complete anhialation of football in that region is deplorable.

“A legitimate PhD-level expert in anything,” they said. “Show me a diagram of the US presidents since FDR, with their names and years in office under their photos,” I said.

"GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert."

The death of Rudolf Hess is very interesting and resulted in this Chumbawamba song

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that @bennet.senate.gov and @senatorhick.govpeeps.us don’t have enough courage to vote against genocide. It’s almost like they lack a moral center and leadership skills.
