Wow.

Garbage behavior from ICE as usual. They don’t give a shit about anyone.

"sorry you have polio but we needed a weeks worth of bombs back in '26." i say to my kids as we butcher a racoon for food.

Heard part of this in my car last week and had to look it up. Very glad that folks are paying more attention to safety for products mainly used by Black people. www.npr.org/2026/03/08/n...

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

This UFC training session, his frequent jet flights on the taxpayers’ dime, his jacket meltdown, and his girlfriend’s security detail all suggest that Patel is more concerned with the perks of the job than the actual job. trib.al/RSe8cRz

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

If anyone is thinking about Page Dairy, the line is wrapped around the building, Becks Run, and Fagel Street. 🤷‍♂️

Words on a graphic aren’t evidence, but if there are any Europeans out there considering this, I promise that we will, in fact, hail you as liberators.

But the one thing it does do well is code *touches earpiece* I’m getting an update …

"AI will revolutionize coding "How?" "Well, first we fire everyone. Then we have AI write the code. Then we hire them all back as independent contractors on short term contracts to fix all the mistakes AI created."

Fuckery afoot in Virginia.

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."

It is illegal and immoral for the US to attack countries that don’t threaten it. It doesn’t matter how terrible the government is.

Our tax dollars paid to blow up an elementary school in Iran, and Trump lied about it. These are the real costs of war. The American people don't want another endless war and they don't want our military killing children. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/m...

Hey I found some of that waste and fraud people were so het up about last year.

There was a time when you could just have your address in the Yellow Pages and it was not an issue until you became a major celebrity. Now your address is one of the most dangerous pieces of information to leak online. I can’t believe how hostile daily life has become for the average individual

There’s a Le Guin bot? Is this cool or weird/icky? (How does it choose what to post when?)

One of the most wholesome online communities I've accidentally joined is the Facebook one where the chief engineer maintaining the retired UK HST trains that were exported to Nigeria asks retired UK railway people for tips that aren't in the formal manuals, and they provide it with great enthusiasm

Did you know that Nepal had a high-stakes election last week? That the backstory involved Discord, a youth movement, and a rapper-turned-politician? I didn't - at least until a student of mine told me. She wrote it up for others to learn too: www.techpolicy.press/nepals-gen-z...

Well, this is at once reassuring and terrifying. But it’s good to know I’m not insane in thinking that what I read isn’t normal or reasonable. We’re actively being gaslighted.

An analysis of over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from just 100 influencers. This minority of users impacts politics, influencing what people view as normal and leads to self-censoring to avoid attacks from conspiracy theorists.

Skyrocketing gas prices while he builds a golden ballroom and mows down schoolgirls. Truly America’s golden age.

Ah, love to see Kris Letang go after a guy who laid hands on him. The look on his face is a combination of rage and joy. #Pens

OMG. What a great product.

I think they think they can just order regime change on DoorDash

Duolingo’s AI enshittification continues….

For #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing my ongoing series of women in science through history. I’m now at 79. Here’s to the day a scientist’s sex is no longer remarkable in any field. Since last year I have added these 12 #linocut prints. 🧪🐡👩‍🔬🧮🔭🎢🔬

🧪March is #WomensHistoryMonth Today is #InternationalWomensDay Some highlights of women’s contribution in science. Of note: Kizzmekia Corbett was the scientific lead of the team that developed the Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. @jackiebrenner on IG #Pinks

Dr. Davies’ book comes out in paperback in 10 days.

After the Austin mass shooting, Greg Abbott blamed "unvetted immigrants who are hostile to America" and "who are loyal to our adversaries." Now we know the shooter was a legal, vetted Tesla employee who assaulted a woman on the job last year but was protected from prosecution by corporate brass.

1Hood Media reporting on Threads that artist Thaddeus Mosley passed yesterday at age 99. This man was a seemingly ageless legend. Worked at his gorgeous art even at age 99. What a loss, but what a life. 🖤💛

Ah, Duolingo is finally teaching me useful phrases for my life.

2 am and I can’t sleep…because shit like this keep me up at night. As of this moment the WH has not ordered U.S. flags lowered for the 6 service members killed in a drone strike in Kuwait. On Sept 10th, 2025, the flag was lowered 5 hrs after Charlie Kirk was shot. Yes, I’m f’n outraged! FTD
