Sci Fi Author: in my book I invented The Cure For Cancer as an aspirational tale MedTech Company: At long last, we have created The Cure for Cancer from classic sci-fi novel Please God Someone Create A Cure for Cancer

I DIDN’T WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT YOU CAN’T BLAME ME

Oh no, the Chicago School are putting up posters in the toilet

Working out the road use of using empty cars to do deliveries is important but I am reminded that I had my week very much saved recently when I managed to head to the airport without meds and was able to organize an app driver to deliver them.

Historian of something cool and niche? i've got some episode slots available on the Untitled History Podcast in the coming weeks. so if you're up for coming on and talking about your area, DM me! Think In Our Time but more casual. ESPECIALLY if its non-mil stuff. (spread the word, peeps)

Look, that is a really philosophical consistent take.

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

Slightly off topic but my then boyfriend told his (standard UK middle class family) that I was a trans man. "Cool... Wait, he isn't vegan is he?" Turns out they were planning a very large bbq, and were vaguely aware that these queers were often vegan, something they had very much not catered for.

Middle child reminded me today that they and their friends are "Riding the D" every chance they get, in case you were wondering if GenZ was both enamored with public transit and willing to toss double-entendres flagrantly at their mother. www.metro.net/d-line-exten...

I know it doesn’t matter at all whether they’re transphobic enthusiastically or cynically, but when you lay it out like this it’s the most ‘prepared statement read by hostage’ cadence I can imagine

Happy pride! Death and eternal wrath to bigots!

The author of this column, Susanna Rustin,was described to me by Guardian staffers as a “militant and obsessive anti-trans activist" in 2021.

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

Carolina: ‘I think the most common route of getting anything is to have a friend in the company.’ Yaseen: ‘So much of it is about who you know.’ Larissa: ‘I don’t know anybody who has got a job lined up, except for your classic nepo babies.’ So we are back to this www.ft.com/content/16e2...

On this: I’m a tall Brown woman with a strong jawline. A whole white woman accused me of being a man in a public toilet the other day. I didn’t correct her because my being trans or cis was not the point. The point was she felt entirely comfortable and confident doing that to someone in a TOILET.

Let's get some schizophrenia awareness asap www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

Don’t tell me you’ve never been to “Oops All Carousels: America’s Saddest Theme Park”!

… and literally got run out of town on the railroad tracks. bsky.app/profile/eric...

This rules. Absolutely the funniest possible outcome. The president of the United States filling in as the headliner of a concert because Milli Vanilli canceled.

This is very good on the logical preposterousness of the trans bathroom ban. It simply cannot have been the intention of the Equality Act or the governments which administered it. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

I hate to hand it to him, but he's right, my girlfriend is women

I got Forza 5 on the Playstation and my wife has been stealing it from me because she enjoys it so much. I walk into the living room this morning and see this

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

I sometimes wonder whether this too is a function of the leadership's oppositional defiant disorder towards its own side. Liberal or left people say "Elon Musk wants you dead, you should get off X", so the Starmer lot cross their arms like the Pingu meme

guys I just tried googling this to find the exact Andor quote and jesus fucking christ guys what the fuck is happening here

"I don't like horny stuff in my media!" Me: AH WELL MORE FOR ME THEN! NYEEEHEHEHEHEHHEE

Just use the F slur already this is taking all day.

the wikipedia image for sexual roleplay is making my lose my mind

There is a joke here about trans masc programmers and topical estrogen*. But I am not sure how to get there. *Guys, seriously if you have bladder issues or dryness after going on T, talk to your doctor about topical estrogen, it's the same stuff your mum takes and it is great.

Uber COO Andrew Macdonald said he's not seeing proportional productivity gains from increasing AI costs. https://bit.ly/4vdizCZ

*slaps roof of bartmobile* you can fit so much public goodwill in this bad boy

My poster is raising many questions already answered by my poster.

uh, this is not cool. someone called "vxera" has put together a "site template" you can buy and customise for a conference that does not actually exist, and is advertising myself and @honeycomb.io as speaker and sponsor respectively. Not cool, not cool. vxera.app/t/conference...

in case anyone ever tells you that HRT doesn’t do anything after 25, i started at 30 and im 34 now i was initially so scared of starting HRT for a number of reasons, one of which being that it was too late for it to do anything even if it didn’t, i’d still choose this life every single time 🏳️‍⚧️

most of the time when people say things like "technofeudalism" or "serfdom" to talk about modern conditions, I would urge you to consider instead the "company town."

Anon reviewer told us to cite more of my work:

@anyaustin.bsky.social got a bunch of people to guess how many trees are in skyrim and then donated $10,000 to Palestine Children's Relief Fund so that at least warrants watching him derive forestry sciences from first principles

Cesc Fabregas tells a story about the Arsenal squad being invited to the palace after their "invincibles" Premier League win. he expected a polite "and what do YOU do?" from Queen Liz. instead she joyously interrogated him for 20mins about key moments in the season. (she was an Arsenal fan)

There is an interfaith vigil for victims of the San Diego Islamic Center attack at 6:30 tonight at Lindbergh Neighborhood Park. Attend if you are able. Please read this thread in full. 1/12

@scottjshapiro.bsky.social keeps jump scaring me with posts like this.

This is extraordinarily bad polling across the board, and if it were a Democrat getting such miserable marks, the political media would be talking about a failed presidency. But it’s Trump. So instead, they’re delicately tiptoeing around dozens of utterly unprecedented abuses of office.

"This food can't be part of British/German/French/Polish food culture because it was made by immigrants and their descendants" is an indicator of how many in the US even on the Left unthinkingly absorb Far Right tropes about European identity

Are you perhaps a cis person who thinks 'well, that's a lovely idea'? Perhaps you could chip in some quids to help keep events like this sustainable! Booking a whole pool so that trans folks can swim in peace costs a modest £3 per person, and we would love to be able to make it a regular booking!

Carcinization is real

As a young man a friend of mine tried to sell double glazing to Tolkien, Tolkien complained to him very bitterly about how his neighbours cut their tree down in their garden. He would not have liked Musk.

TOOT TOOT IT’S THE TOBLERTRAM

You know that we need to send TISM.
