The biohackers subreddit banned all posts about peptides and HRT because peptide companies were spamming + manipulating the sub in order to manipulate Google AI and ChatGPT answers. Very insidious industry that is drastically changing the internet www.404media.co/companies-ar...

There is no 'opening the strait.' The strait was open. Iran was tolling vessels. They were letting whatever ships they were comfortable with pass by, and Americans and frankly the rest of the world needs to get it through their heads that this was as open as the strait was ever going to be, again

The ramping up of establishment attacks on disabled people, trans people, Black people and protestors means we must internalise, and quickly, the commonality of our experience of being outside, marginalized. And come together in political solidarity. There is no other way.

NEW: Elon Musk’s xAI is trying to force four people suing it over sexual deepfake images created with Grok to drop their public anonymity. The company asked a judge to overturn a ruling allowing the use of pseudonyms. One person was allegedly depicted as a child in the images, the lawsuit says

BREAKING: Don't fall for what Blanche is suggesting - DOJ is NOT getting rid of the whole bogus slush fund deal; it's still giving Trump $1,776 billion AND still giving him (and family) a broad civil release of liability; all it is NOT doing is using the $1,776 to create a fund for J6ers and others.

It would be no surprise at all to see this year and next breach 1.5C - quite possibly by a significant margin - and never again drop back

And Blanche said this RIGHT AFTER saying that his so-called Fraud Task Force would jail not only those who stole $100M from taxpayers, but also those who stole $1001.

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Back when I was a full-time debunker, I would have meetings with Very Important People about how to defeat fake news. What tools would we use? Apps? Anti-disinfo schools?? Warning labels?? I would say "support antiracism and antimisogyny initiatives" and watch the light go out of their eyes

If you think automakers are bad, wait till you hear about dealers! Automakers spent "only" $6M in the 2024 cycle, split between the parties Meanwhile dealers spent **over $23M**, almost all to Republicans www.opensecrets.org/industries/i... @opensecrets.org

Solid summary here of the many, many ways the Trumps are profiting off the presidency— Will Weissert, Michelle L. Price for @apnews.com

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

crimes against humanity

Wow, I had no idea

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

It’s important to recognize that paranoia and distrust are natural and rightful feelings to have in an era of manipulation, surveillance, oppression, and exploitation. What matters though is that we don’t allow the Far Right to harvest and redirect it on behalf of the wealth class.

Nearly 147,000 US-born kids have had a parent abducted under the regime’s mass deportation obsessions. 22,000+ have seen both parents detained. The new family separation crisis is here. “Families are also now being split up in ways that are more dispersed, more hidden and harder to track.”

Incredible piece, but it needs to be said explicitly: these people are dangerous eugenicists. They want the "wrong" people to be exterminated and replaced by AI. That's abhorrent and you can't pretend otherwise.

Disney cut, canceled, or buried every ounce of queer content in their shows for the past two years but it wasn't enough, because fascists don't want compliance they want slavish obedience.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

The corruption never stops.

Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

We need to find a way to make it so Elon's entire reputation is stuck on his mass murdering, and everything else is forgotten or a footnote.

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.

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

the term ceasefire deal has lost any meaning

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

Gas is $6, nobody can afford a house, and we just kicked starving people off SNAP so they now have to pay $8 for cereal. Why are we even doing this at all right now?

"The plan is to kill off publicly funded academic science in this country." Correct. And that means killing off the whole US science and innovation industry. Because it's all built on a foundation of basic research—which. can. only. be. funded. by. public. dollars.

Yet another example of a polling agency actively participating in spreading an actual, serious and consequential lie to the public. Fossil fuels are more expensive. Clean energy is cheaper. @yougov.co.uk is very literally lying in this poll, and there should be actual consequences for this

no other way but to abolish ICE. no future democracy can without abolishing the organization and holding it accountable for its crimes

A great opportunity to be Trump's arch nemesis. Comment by noon on June 3. savingplaces.org/monumental-a...

Authoritarian regimes benefit from people who are not smart enough to get promoted in traditional ladders but ambitious enough to commit crimes in their efforts to get ahead. Regimes give them a path. As we reduce education, as we reduce real opportunities, we are creating perfect conditions.

The only ones who are going to get you out of this, Americans, are yourselves. There's nothing else that's going to save you now.

There is a whole system in place to ensure that Supreme Court Justices live long and happy lives, with free vacations, extraordinary perks, lucrative and important jobs for their spouses, and now their kids.

This is fascism. Tactics straight out of the playbook of the Nazi's, Lysenko, and North Korea. Science doesn't have borders and setting up "us vs. them" hurts everyone. www.science.org/content/arti...

Consumers are dipping into savings to cope with higher prices. The national savings rate fell to the lowest level since June 2022

We often think of climate change as a gradual process, but climate-driven shifts in global ecosystems are often sudden. Many ecosystems are fairly stable until major disturbances occur--like high severity wildfire or record-breaking drought. youtu.be/2_Bp76Q2Qig?...

One of the big problems with Woke 1.0 was more often than not unjust and/or stupid target selection. If you want Woke 2.0 to work, you need to actually pick ppl who actually are menaces to society in obvious, publicly documented ways that the median voter will recognize.

I've been warning about this moment for two decades over at Techdirt The U.S. is too corrupt to regulate data brokers (and their exploitation and sale of location data) and the check has come due

We are going to need retroactively enforced anti-corruption legislation. And sooner Democratic lawmakers start announcing it and drawing it up, the sooner some of the corrupt may feel just a little fear and hold back.

Okay, bear with me for a second. Because I've held this theory for a long time. And I kinda feels like this confirms it. The death of Harambe was the tipping point of no return for the unserious right-wing turn of America. 🧵

Corporations' marketing departments will turn anyone into an influencer smh

The largest emitters wanted to deflect their role in making the world uninhabitable, hence they meticulously crafted a PR campaign to reframe it into an issue of personal responsibility to blame the victim (the working class, people of color, and the Global South)

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.
