This is unacceptable from democratic leadership in Congress. They should be screaming NO WAR, not merely raising procedural objections. Cowardly, politically foolish failure to meet the moment.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

this is so god damn funny

one of my biggest unity tips is Just Buy The Tool Dude. idc if it's $100 that's a drop in the bucket if you're doing commercial dev and if it works well it will save you so so so so much in the long run

Vaccination with two doses of recombinant zoster vaccine is associated with a 51 percent reduction in the risk of dementia in adults over 65 years, reports a study published in Nature Communications. go.nature.com/4aHg6rM #medsky 🧪

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you. the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to watch this spectacular interview on the first amendment multiple times in order for it to have record pageviews.

Hope the 'lefties don't give AI a chance' people have a good approach lined up to this problem!

This is how you live a life

14 years ago we accidentally hired a genius to write the script for 80 Days. Now she’s narrative director on a deck-builder about billionaire busting. Check out All Will Rise:

The biggest problem with "popularism" is that its advocates don't fully internalize how much poll question framing can distort measurement. They also don't get that if having unpopular views stopped you from winning, Republicans would never win elections. Many people do not vote based on policy.

This is just unconscionable man

Yesterday, someone made a Dungeons & Dragons analogy for vaccines in our (Facebook) comments. I don't play or understand D&D, so I asked our Preparedness Coordinator to explain. I still don’t understand it, but he said this analogy will be understood by people who do! Anyway, please get vaccinated.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Fun fact: pushing back on helplessness can be as easy as hanging out with people

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Serial Experiments Lain is a cautionary, deeply political story about how cool the Sharp X68000 looked, and what would happen if computers kept looking like that.

I think one of my favorite Bad Bunny reax vids is Canadians getting all excited they got namechecked at the Super Bowl and now pronouncing the country's name Canadá.

Screenwriter Chris Morgan: In Fast & Furious 7 I wrote about the God’s Eye device - able to connect to any camera in the world- as a cautionary tale Jeff Bezos: At long last we have created the evil God’s Eye device that almost kills the whole Toretto family in Fast & Furious 7

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

Imagining a guy who’s mad that Bad Bunny did the halftime show in Spanish instead of Quenya, the tongue of the high elves of Valinor.
