I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Alien 3, directed by David Fincher. Girl's Head beside a Skull by Rex Whistler.

it's super funny because what it actually says is theyre now so deep up the arsehole of their group chats they think this is a gripe that will find a broad swathe of sympathy across society-because they now no longer even interact in any capacity with ppl without multiple homes

Disappointed indeed….

in this age of lazy journalism and AI sloppery, it’s more important than ever to quote people accurately, even on social media. the esteemed representative for California's 37th congressional district actually said, ”Fuck. HIS. Ass.”

This is enraging. It is also far too common, especially here. What's that? A vaunted local Asheville business just suddenly shut down, fired their workers and stole their pay? Again?

In fact Amber reads Lock In and Head On. The gender of the main character of those books is not specified, and Audible decided to have two versions of the audio, one with Amber and the other with Wil. They both do a terrific job.

Her death was felt throughout the research community, especially by those of Asian descent who faced unjust scrutiny from Trump's China Initiative. Elizabeth reminded us that there's a human cost to this targeting and that our greatest minds should never have to face this type of ethnic profiling.

I just remembered when Jamie and me tried to talk Marvel into letting Young Avengers do a purely conceptual tie-in to the Infinity Event, which would be broadcast psychically on a certain time and date. They said no.

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. buff.ly/d6rXj5h

While the enormous steps back we're taking as a civilisation are unfortunate, as a history geek, I take a little consolation in all the Medieval stuff that's suddenly becoming relevant

When we create a state that is so focused on cruelty, we are always going to empower people like this. The cruelty is not a byproduct, it is an inevitable consequence.

“Trump’s enablers will be remembered for hiding the dementia, crimes and treason of the worst parasite in US history.”

Trump has launched three more boat strikes this week, bringing the total death toll to 177. Remember: No judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

A year ago, I wrote that state prosecutors can enforce criminal laws against lawless federal "law enforcement" agents when the DOJ refuses to. That is now happening, and it is past time. 1/

Zohran Mamdani getting Kathy Hochul to agree to a pied-a-terre tax breaks the stone wall against taxing the rich that Hochul had been building since Mamdani's election. It's a critical moment, writes @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social. prospect.org/2026/04/16/m...

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is a fun subplot

This isn’t a social event. This is how change actually happens. Protests aren’t meant to be comfortable or performative — they’re meant to demand action. And that takes strategy, discipline, and people who are ready to show up with purpose. #sheshed

Content warning before you google and read the story. It is horrifying. Proceed with caution, especially if you’ve suffered SA.

No one expects the Witch-hunts! This is a classic tactic used during the Inquisition to rob single women of property.

Today, the Hennepin County Attorney made history by announcing the first-ever criminal charge against an ICE agent for their actions during Operation Metro Surge.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."
