Absolutely delightful

The worst, the absolute worst

Oh my god, this explains everything

Never miss a chance to remind people that what makes humans "special" is our ability to form effective communities

I scream this in my head, like, once a week, then I flop over and distract myself with the first dumb YouTube video I find - recently, (new) Smosh

I needed this

Responsible people exist

Yes, obviously

People weren’t healthier “back in the day.” In 1960s, life expectancy was in the 60s vs. 79 today. Testicular cancer? 95% fatal. Today? 95% survivable. Same with MANY cancers. Infections. Vaccine-preventable illness. We live longer & healthier lives today bc of science. youtu.be/rDx7LrBiMH0?...

HUH

I love this show - so I'm sad, but it sounds like this will be one of the rare American TV shows that actually finishes its story with creative integrity

Somerville is the best

WOW these comments tho

"the team gathered data from 253 populations across 121 primate species... for 70 percent of the primates, either males or females could be at the top of the pecking order"

“Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed House Bill 25-1149 into law earlier this month to establish comprehensive statewide #BlackHistory #education standards for K-12 public schools.” Denver 7. Good! We’ve had the Amistad law on the books here in Jersey for a while now! More states please!

Do you ever feel a slight vibration in, say, your thigh, and assume it's your phone, only to find your phone isn't in your pocket, and has your thigh recieved a message, and if so, how on earth are you going to access it?

I’m convinced that people like Zuckerberg do not get/actively dislike what it means to be human and are determined to inflict their terrifyingly inhuman fantasies of technology controlling our lives on the entirety of humanity

There is no bond like the bond between two coworkers who are both annoyed by the same third coworker

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

This is incredible

this is so real - every molecular biologist has some pathway they'll never forget because, like, it reminded them of a band name and they dissociated for a few minutes imaging what instrument each of the enzymes would play

perhaps if we explain to them that the palestine protesters are simply socially awkward

A bright spot -- My brother had a hearing scheduled *this week* to help his client, a black trans woman, jump over this hurdle. And now he gets to sleep in, and incarcerated people across the country have an easier path when protecting their rights

This is in fact the situation. Thiel and his weak-minded tech VC friends haven’t made money on investments that were not overhyped borderline-frauds since 2010. (Crypto and AI were what they pivoted to.) Their field has stagnated. Life science is incredibly dynamic bsky.app/profile/pyrr...

NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

A story that reminds you - there are more rational people in this country than there are radical nationalists.

a political consultancy that does what now?

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

"Breathe it in" by Sarah Jane Brown, contemporary Welsh land and seascape painter #WomensArt

I would like to nominate this joke for a pulitzer

Why is this so delightful? Like, are the birds praxis?

Chat, is it a sign of strength when I need to nationalize 2000 guardsmen to get my incompetent secret police out of a parking lot?

A guy unprovoked points a gun at you and you're desperately, perhaps even hysterically, trying to get him to lower the gun, meanwhile trying to figure out if you can distract him long enough to disarm him, and then an Atlantic contributor walks in and says "You both need to calm down."

“We urge you as NIH Director to restore grants delayed or terminated for political reasons so that life-saving science can continue.” Over one hundred NIH employees publish a letter of dissent to Trump administration attacks on medical research, the “Bethesda Declaration.” 🧪

I felt an actual sense of relief reading this. Like, finally!, that trolley that's been on a collision course my whole life? They stopped it. Heros

ACCURATE. I've left so many mysterious tableaus of half-finished tasks over the years

I know I’ve been harping a bit on this, but a journalistic institution that would defend a patently absurd and racist claim such as “Chinese women have small fingers” rather than simply admit error and correct is fundamentally unwell.

So many white folks from blue states fail to understand that a lot of Black and brown people feel safer in red states where they are the majority and where racism happens in explicit ways, instead of in the "safe" places where white folks pretend racism doesn't exist.

The guy who accepted the plane pre-didn’t care about this sad little prank

Cats are confusing because half the time having one isn’t nearly enough cats and half the time having one is way too many cats

the problem with "signaling" as people put it online is that it does not communicate accurate or useful information while still taking up capacity that otherwise would be reserved for more fruitful information transmission. it makes it harder for us to see the signals we actually need

Oh no, it's most of my thoughts

I love this. I would have been so into this if I'd been a teenager in the 1910s

Why is this so visceral?

How have I never heard "multivocality" before?
