Love this kind of graphical representation of information. The number of scenarios that result in non-binary sexuality are significant!

A new organization is leading the effort to collect millions of votes of no confidence in Donald Trump, his abuse-enabling Congress, & the majority on the Supreme Court. I’ve talked with some of the folks behind they effort. They are legit, serious, and determined. open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Gerrymandering in Indiana isn’t just political; It’s a public health issue. When maps don’t reflect the people, our care suffers. 📣 Call for fair redistricting today: (iga.in.gov/legislative/...) #HoosierSky

I thought this was an interesting depiction of the historical releases! Greatly looking forward to Shannon's up-coming books! 😀

Again, we cannot understand American politics in the 21st Century unless we take into account abuse culture.

A friend writes: I saw someone's post somewhere that talked about how their nine-year-old and all his friends have started using "That's AI" instead of "I don't believe you." Mom: "We're having dinosaur meat for dinner tonight." Kid: "That's AI."

Happy Caturday 🐾

The Brookings Institute found that Charlie Kirk was the 2nd largest misinformation spreader among podcasts they analysed. "Mr. Kirk, a conservative activist and the founder of Turning Point USA, ranked second, with 17 percent of his episodes containing an unsubstantiated or false claim." Gifted:

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I'm looking forward to these! 😀 Going to be a lot of nostalgia, in addition to realizing how much I've gotten rid of over the years... 😁

I'm not depressed, I'm just paying attention

Oh, wow. 😆 Yeah, Sean nailed it: I think the 2:09 moment is hilarious!!! (And I'm not describing it because that would ruin the funny. 😁

Anyone interested, or know someone who is? (@carl-with-2-ks.bsky.social? 😀)

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

Science Vs is a great podcast, in general, but this one was beautiful. 😁

You don't "see" it in us bc we were never diagnosed. They didn't know shit about autism when we were growing up. Hell, they "knew" there was NO such thing as comorbid autism & ADHD until 2013. There's no way I'm going for an official diagnosis now, putting myself on a gov list is not a top priority

Let‘s elect the anti science cranks, they said It’ll be fun they said Eggs cost too much they said

Your locally grown, non-profit, independent arthouse cinema is making news! Thanks to USA Today for the inclusion, and everybody come check out an Indianapolis 10 Best thing this week. Link in bio for showtimes, events, tickets, &c.

Seconding this for anyone who needs to hear it. My last drink was January 9, 2016, and I got a LOT of mileage out of "I picked the wrong year to quit drinking," which was in no small part my Gen X gallows humor getting me through that brutal year. If you need help, reach out. You're not alone.

An honored tradition! So, my fellow Black folks, I ask you! Do you remember The 21st night of September? youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk

Wow, this is a great feature. I am happy to spend the time to put ALT text in, but I often forget in my eagerness to post. I've turned this on and encourage others to as well.

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

In their latest episode, the #3BlackHalflings podcast had an amazing discussion on current USA politics (through Charlie Kirk death). As a cis hetro white person, I learn a lot from their discussions, and I'm thankful they've given us this gift! www.3blackhalflings.com/talk-show-ep...

Okay, yeah, that _is_ a pretty good "trailer". ☺️

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

If you haven't heard the story of the #SecretMallApartment, I highly recommend checking out the documentary they just released! I was able to catch it at the #HeartlandFilm Festival, and it's an impressive story that goes places you will not expect. 😃

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
