A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.

In an attempt to raise money for next week's bills, I'm opening a new membership tier at patreon.com/claudiopozas : the Commissioner. It allows for a single black and white commission per month, or a full color one every other month. Feel free to ask questions. #art #commissions #fanart

At the behest of @ogreking.bsky.social for #BakeSky Chocolate chip muffin mix from Aldi Substituted an equal parts margarine/brown sugar mixture for the oil (amount of margarine = amount of brown sugar = amount of oil) and added chunks of sea salt dark chocolate in the center of each (no dairy!)

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Funerals are being held in Gaza today after Israeli airstrikes killed at least 24 people on Saturday, despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that began on October 10. Gaza’s Government Media Office says Israel has violated the truce nearly 500 times in 44 days.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

PLEASE this. And also to scientists writing press releases, too - calling something "AI" when it was actually your student spending 12 months fitting and validating a model is disingenuous

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

The 4th edition of Mutants & Masterminds is coming to crowdfunding on Kickstarter in the new year! Sign-up to be notified when the campaign goes live and check out the fantastic new art by comic artist (and past M&M contributor) Sean Izaakse. Looking forward to sharing more soon!

reposting again just in case anybody feels the need to scream in rage because they paid money for it years ago and have enjoyed in thoroughly already but for some reason want barriers for others to do so not like anything else haha idk

Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend. Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse. There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

Dividing people into ... bigots and non-bigots? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

The only way to understand this is to realize that they are eugenicists.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Oh, no, no, no, no. Hell, no. Aside from hackability, here's why this is a VERY bad idea: A cop (or cop impersonator) pulls you over, asks to see ID. You unlock your phone to access it and show it to them. They grab your unlocked phone and can now browse through it at will.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

@democrats.org (and all liberals)

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

the president of the united states is trying to give americans $2k in hush money

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

OFFS "Barely Legal" means LEGAL, but just BARELY. "Almost Legal" would mean very close to but not currently legal. I do not believe the fare right who just started equating child rape with "Barely Legal" did so by mistake. They WANT to make child rape sound 'Barely Legal.' And it is NOT.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

“When talking about human trafficking, especially involving minors, we need NUANCE,” says Megyn Kelly.

Here's hoping we create a better world, one in which these sorts of people spend the rest of their lives unemployed and in shame

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Over 200 Rockstar staff have written to management in support of unfairly fired union members. We have published more details on our website, although we have not yet released the exact contents of the letter: www.gameworkers.co.uk/rockstar-ope...

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I find it highly ironic that the party that bemoaned the deep state and alleged the cover-up of pedophiles is now embroiled in defending the party that has the largest pedophile cover-up in American history.

Just cuz I suspect it's gonna be relevant: "underage women" is a contradiction in terms. There are adults and there are minors, who are children. Ditto "nonconsensual sex." That's rape. The only reason to play semantic games is because you benefit from obscuring the simplicity of these terms.
