But nothing is funnier than when Svetlana says “Yob tvayu mat,” which literally means “fuck your mother” and the subtitle translation reads.

My latest feature for @sciam.bsky.social explores the research connecting problems with interoception to a wide variety of mental illnesses, including anxiety disorders, eating disorders, & PTSD. This work is ultimately circling in on a central message: the body & mind are inextricably intertwined.

I really didn't think we'd get to this point. As people who didn't live through the 80s-90s really don't understand how bad it was.

I spoke to the people who continue to get infected with viruses over and over and their lives are now shaped by chronic illness, cognitive impairment, autonomic dysfunction, immune system dysregulation, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancer, strokes, MS, Lupus, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, POTS, etc.

Authoritarians used to burn books. Now their collaborators burn literacy.

"the researchers found that withdrawing support for rapidly advancing mRNA vaccine technology could result in over 49,000 preventable deaths annually among patients diagnosed with four major cancers"

The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The real harsh truth is those covid revisionist authors and the book critics cheering them on all support eugenics. They think that the suffering of Long Covid will never happen to them because they have better genes.

This quote will be used in The Trials. And we will ask all our children to read it in school to Never Forget.

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

Men generally become more bearable when testosterone lowers so this is actually just the same how Musk was justifying his sociopathy/as*jokers with autism. As Jenka says, bs excuses to camouflage real issues.

My friend @monikabielskyte.bsky.social created the Protopia Futures framework, and I contributed a small part to it so I know all about this. medium.com/protopia-fut...

Dystopia: a dissolute, perverted world, fallen from grace, is an inherently conservative aesthetic

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

spanish flu was 1918........ the great wall street crash was 1929........... very cool stuff, history, very cool and not stressful

The US government support of cancer research via NCI has been severely cut. And of June 2025, "There were 181 individual terminated NCI funded grants, with a total award amount of $640,867, 956." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

hewwo 🤪 banned for 3 days bc i called a tech bro afraid of public transit a pansy ass bitch. anyway they're on trains in my city trying to promote eugenics

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

Absolutely brilliant, dead-on piece by @anandwrites.bsky.social re: Epstein and the elites who rule us. (I use that term purposefully.) So much self-regard, so much posturing and self-dealing, so little if any actual compassion. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.

Fascism built in.

Every single person he is nice to is someone who demonstrates being able to wield power. Every person he is not nice to is someone who cannot.

The only thing Donald Trump likes is power. He likes people who can amass it. People who can wield it. He likes being in photos with it. So he can osmose it.

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like: “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” “I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Here's @npr.org's Obituary of Alice Wong: www.npr.org/2025/11/15/n...

There are currently too many villains named Epstein

@mattpolprof.bsky.social wrote about how the core emotional appeal of reactionary thought is it lets you feel like a conquering king and put-upon victim at the same time a border patrol agent literally crying to the cops about being doxed? yes. this. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-modern-f...

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

This is such a well-argued and thorough rebuttal to the reflexive assumption that only liberals and feminists have agency in the discourse about masculinity. I especially like the point of how trying to pander to childish misogyny will only backfire. www.liberalcurrents.com/swiping-left...

The "advice" offered by manfluencers couldn't be better-designed to keep young men sexless and lonely. I'd argue that is the goal. Happy men don't hand over their paychecks to "pick-up artists." They need to keep them lonely, to keep selling them the fake "solutions." www.salon.com/2024/04/12/l...

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/ www.psypost.org/male-victimh...

Men would rather destroy civilization than evolve.

When u miscalculate that aligning yourself with men’s power will neutralize the fact that society sees your gender as an inferior class.

You can be a woman head of state of a whole ass country and the lowliest nothing of a man will make sure you dont forget.

A lot of the people hand wringing about the crisis among young men should probably be using those hands to dismantle the things actually harming them even if it’s their entertainment.

The amount of AI used for necromancy is unsettling. There's worse use cases, like decisions over who gets to keep living, but there's something especially ominous about AI companies marketing products that essentially let people create undying simulacra of their loved ones, subscription implied.

So these two trends—AI as smokescreen for management's ulterior motives/misplaced belief in its hype, and AI as an automation system for producing cheap knockoff art and writing (at the expense of artists and writers)—are what I think are the biggest impacts of AI on jobs so far. More in the piece:

How is AI *really* impacting jobs? Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an: -8% drop in all jobs postings -~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs -22% drop in journalism jobs

Health policy by scamfluencers, in world’s no1 economy… many, many people will die.

Investors’ ‘dumb transhumanist ideas’ setting back neurotech progress, say experts

Women having agency is the problem. This message brought to you by the invention of patriarchy cir 10,000 years ago.

The thing about parrots, stochastic or otherwise, is that they PARROT. bsky.app/profile/jenk...

How much of this is a societal problem quantified by OpenAI vs. created by it

The issue is not even that Musk thinks we live in a simulation, but that he thinks it’s only HE who lives in a simulation. No one else is real for him, merely NPCs. & so, as @jenka.bsky.social says — they do not think about hungry people at all because in their imagination we do not exist.
