perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

So excited for this event! Please join us!

If you're a legit business using AI to write your approaches, first: DON'T. Second, be aware that this makes you sound like a scam and if you have a legitimate request, it's likely to be missed because it's got all the earmarks of a con. 2/2

After SCOTUS ruling, Stephen Miller said: "We can finally remove these Haitian migrants." If so, Springfield Ohio, in deep red Clark County, will now face major ICE raids. Springfield is the cite of the "pet eating" lie. There are up to 15,000 Haitians there: newrepublic.com/article/2124...

Mini Mamdani, you complete me. 🤙

Gutted for the staff affected by Scientific American's layoffs & for the uncertain future of a science magazine that fed curious minds & showed us what excellent science reporting looked like. I hate that the more we need good science writing (and writers), the fewer staff jobs there are to do it

Statement by @sciamunion.bsky.social on Springer Nature's sale of Scientific American and massive editorial layoffs right before a successful union vote is counted. www.wgaeast.org/wgae-scienti...

Just heard that Scientific American was sold to LabX Media and several senior editors have been fired. Check out Dan Vergano on Bluesky for confirmation. The people I know left in science journalism are like tardigrades surviving the harshest environment. #journalism #science

Scientific American is _the_ pillar of science journalism--publishing continuously since 1845. I'm really not sure what this all means

thanks @theliteratelizard.bsky.social! Such an honor to see The Art of Pacing on this list!

My book The Art of Pacing is finally out this week from Simon & Schuster! 🎉 Drawing on interviews with Olympic athletes, creative folks, activists, workers, and others, it explores science-backed ways to pace yourself sustainably (and even thrive) in this landscape of ongoing chaos. bit.ly/3SLKeNa

D-Day commemoration at Omaha Beach, June 6, 2024. A D-Day veteran to Ukrainian President Zelensky: “You’re a savior of the people. My hero.” Zelensky: “No, no, you saved Europe. You are our hero.”

A sure sign of an author scam is when the guy who runs the "Nothing But Reading Challenge," who was "genuinely intrigued" by your book, doesn't bother to capitalize his last name.

The reason you see the outpouring — print, wire, broadcast — is because 60 Minutes writ large and Scott Pelley, in particular, are the gold standard and the real deal. It’s journalism as we dream of it. Bang on the door, go to the war zone, spend time, get to know the people. Tell *the* story.

Turns out screaming “DEBATE ME!” at strangers is… not actually a great way to change minds. People are far more open to changing their views when conversations feel less like a cage match and more like two actual humans talking. theconversation.com/debate-me-do...

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

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.

"Hey Siri, how can I make polling suck more?"

Trump did not write the Art of the Deal, Tony Schwartz did.

Doing an image search for "soccer ball emoji" will drive you to the brink of madness. Behold what bleak future you have wrought. Behold madness.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

ICYMI...some good news, for once! Thank you, @acls1919.bsky.social @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social for fighting for scholars, including the @medievalacademy.bsky.social members whose funding was unjustly cut off. More info here: www.historians.org/news/federal...

Four Wednesday evenings to support folks in building peer and community groups of all kinds Starts 5/20 By donation! Therapists do not own sitting in a circle. We need each other in so many different ways more than ever. We can do this without annoying the holy crap out of each other

1/ Update on what we know about the evolving hantavirus situation, strap in. A Swiss man linked to the ship has now tested positive after developing symptoms after disembarking. He received an exposure alert, sought care, and tested positive. This means there are 3 deaths and 5 suspected.

so while I have some issues with the precis describing these groups the core point is right the broad center left is becoming unglued on questions of fact in ways that increasingly resemble the right hard to say how much it's our politics, how much it's short form video poisoning, but it's real

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

"With adoption rates below 50%, the report observes that the use of AI “is far from universal” in publishing." "everyone is doing it" is far from true. It's always far from true.

What did you think “Mass Deportation Now” meant?

The National Science Foundation is the main source of funding for basic sciences in the US. For decades, they have supported a scientific R&D ecosystem in the US that has been an engine of economic growth and competitive advantage. Destroying the agency is no less than an act of sabotage.

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Breaking news: The Trump administration’s move to drop the long-standing recommendation for newborn hepatitis B vaccination within 24 hours of birth will likely lead to additional infections and millions in added health care costs, new studies show.

Trump's shameful betrayal of our Afghan allies. Veterans (and most people) are outraged. Paul Rieckhoff on Trump’s plan to ship 1,100 Afghan allies — including 400 children — to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Uh oh: Somebody saw his horrible 33pct approval/67 pct disapproval numbers and is lashing out online all hours of the night. Shows just how laser-focused he is on the lives and economic hardships of regular Americans.

This is really something. Fox News poll finds a solid majority of voters say Trump lacks the mental soundness to be president.

Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Excellent piece from @lopatto.bsky.social on the incurable hollowness of AI. Almost gives me hope for the future of creativity

This is fun

Excited that InfoWars has switched sides in the infowars

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
