Lmao this fucking guy

It would be great if physicists could stop naming things in a way that is guaranteed to be abused by bad actors in the most openly anti-science, anti-naturalism era we've had in at least a century.

I will fucking die mad that we let the stupidest people in society with medieval peasant brain ruin recognizing what should have been a moon landing level triumph

Nice of him to offer, but his mom is already my other ride.

Current cancer patient here. Despite having a best-case type and stage of cancer, I only managed to schedule 6 hours of work last week and 10 hours the week before. The only reason to make a rule like this is to kick sick people off Medicaid

Platner is a bad, stupid person and he will not only continue to behave horribly, I am very comfortable predicting that he will betray the Dems, because he's bad and stupid, so all the people saying it was worth it to oust Collins on "pragmatic" procedural grounds will be made into fools as well.

On the one hand, I admit that relic'd guitars are a lot like pre-ripped jeans. On the other, this guitar I put together sounds incredible, looks great, and it cost me much, much less than the $5000 Fender wants for the custom shop version that will play and perform worse than mine. #guitarsky

Despite all the whining, conservatives actually get a pretty fair shake in liberal media, because liberal artists give conservative characters pathos, intelligence, and agency, when in reality, Matt Walsh is an ignorant, empty, dead-eyed psychopath.

"I read a study" is how Kennedy starts many, many of the lies he spews about healthcare, so it's important to note that when he does this, if he's talking about an article that even exists (he's often not), he doesn't mean scientific articles, but a piece of prose written by just some fuckin guy.

james talarico sir, for the good of the country you must spend the next 5 months eating bbq and going to football games and having sex with your girlfriend

UW - Madison has over 500K living alumni. Our alums are fanatical about Madison & the university. I have seen exactly zero attempts to publicly mobilize this network in opposition to the federal budget cuts, foreign student restrictions, or any of the other existential threats. Again, mind-boggling.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation. https://scim.ag/4nTQ3nq

He wants the mugshot, because fuck you.

I think you're wrong, *because* you're stupid." - ad hominem fallacy "Here are all the reasons you're wrong, stupid" - logically sound, just kinda rude. Guess which one liars and hucksters try to claim is the actual fallacy.

The Economy being good means nothing to me because it's a measure of how confident assholes feel in their line going up, and everything they do to make the line go up hurts me and devastates everyone who's doing worse than me. This isn't fucking rocket surgery.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Ringo Starr comes to me, speaking words of wisdom: "Peace and Love"

These fucking demons told me that my neighbor wanted to eat my dog and now they want to talk about social trust evaporating

"I was personally inconvenienced doing something totally unrelated, which reminded me that we need to kill welfare" is the GOP reduced to a thick, syrupy concentrate.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

We are living in whatever is your favorite historical version of "monarch/autocrat expels educated, but hated outgroup, following brain drain, empire shortly implodes."

Lmao "It looks like we might get a Butlerian Jihad from the Chicago Pope" is a set of words that should've by all rights only been pulled out of a hat.

Singing in the rain 🎵

This was a huge waste of time and money for the defendants, the taxpayers, and the courts. Still. A hale and hearty, "lol, GET FUCKED" to the admin on this one.

He does not plan on ever leaving peacefully. WTF are we doing here?

It seems to hinge on the difference between a copyright and a trademark. They can't trademark the body, but some fucking creep at Fender decided they could argue the body is an artistic design under copyright, because no shit, they're arguing Leo Fender said he wanted it to have a woman's curves.

The Internet is so broken that I now miss the era where you'd pay a $15 flat fee for an app. No I do not want a $30 annual subscription to your insect ID app that I know is also scraping my personal data AND training its AI with my pictures. Go to hell.

Fender won a case defending the design and shape of the Stratocaster in the EU in March and then last week they sent letters to (probably all) US manufacturers from their EU lawyers telling them to cease and desist production of guitars with that shape, despite it being public domain in the US.

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

I hate that we have all these recurring discussions of his body, because you can see all kinds of people just toss any pretense at body positivity out the window, but also there is zero chance Trump is actually physically imposing to the degree that it gives him a +5 charisma buff.

Trump is animated by the belief that the state is his possession to reward allies and crumbs and he is faced with an opposition that feels so bound to an outdated notion of rules and norms they're willing to grant clemency to Trump goons that commit election fraud

I realize there's a gulf between "what a president is explicitly permitted to do" and "what a president can get away with" but every single day is a damning indictment that the last administration did not see fit to pursue expansive power against Trump's return nor did it dare SCOTUS to stop it.

Once again noting that Republican voters are totally comfortable threatening violence, and it is a widespread, under discussed phenomenon because officials and journalists know these people are serious about it.

Once again I feel like I should point out the only variable that consistently correlates with lower birth rates is increased women’s education so if your goal is to raise the birth rate you basically have to restrict women’s autonomy but few of the eugenic freaks will say the quiet part out loud

“Certainty”

Gonna spend a little time today doing some medical research about cognitive decline. Specifically looking into prognosis, and how common/likely extremely painful sequelae are.

There is something so embarrassing about watching the press put up with this. He's saying to Sanger's face, "I'd like to kill you for asking me this." And he just takes it. Everyone else watches. They all pay lip service to the sanctity of the 1st Amendment. But they don't believe a word they say.

I blocked the WaPo podcast account. I can't even hate watch it.

If you hear about just the event, you are probably inclined to think, "oh weird, old-timey feel industrial accident" but I think it sort of snaps in into focus if you say, "Business mogul trying to extract every cent gambled with the safety of a community, because he was going to get his, goddamit"

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The way I see it, this clerk robbed the victims and the people of the state of justice and wasted a LOT of their money because they couldn't do their job the right way, because Murdaugh absolutely fucking did it.

If Dems don't go to the mat for Black voters, they aren't even just cowards, they have an actual death wish as a party.

no this is real. we had a chance during the global pause because of the pandemic to restrict oligarchical demands on our minds and labor and instead we just...decided to minmaxx our way into astronomical levels of burnout.

Personally, I think it's bad he has a "we could try injecting bleach, maybe?" level of crazy comment every 3 days now, and no one with power does anything

3 of my students had their commencement for their bachelor's degrees over the weekend at a large, public university and they had AI read the names over the PA. It still took 2+ hours and the robot mispronounced a bunch of names, so they would stop and re-read them manually. Lmao what a technology.

<Shaking fist> "Stupid sexy Jimenez!"

you know I keep that thang on me (a fresh bánh mì)
