Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???

Today's a great day to support some creators. Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

This story is nuts The journal ‘Pediatrics and Child health’ has been published an article type, for case reports, that are made up and fictional without having any clear notice 😱 retractionwatch.com/2026/03/03/c...

I am the reader! One reviewer attempted to be negative about that by saying I sound like Daria. Guilty, probably

A recent Washington Post headline posed the blatantly eugenicist question, “Is autism preventable in certain cases after all?” and posited its answer as “some scientists say yes.” @ejwillingham.bsky.social shreds the article to bits, in the latest TPGA newsletter: buttondown.com/TPGA/archive... 1/

If you have not yet read Phallacy by @ejwillingham.bsky.social, I highly recommend the audiobook!

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

wow who would have expected this from the guy with the totenkopf tattoo

If you're a DC area bartender or related service industry worker and you hear govt./military people talking about the strikes on Iran, let me know what they're saying. I'm on signal at nslayton.12

President Donald Trump's accusation that Iran is building nuclear weapons that could "soon" reach the U.S. is contradicted by a 2025 federal government assessment that said Iran is years away from the ability to produce long-range missiles. (via @politifact.bsky.social) https://to.pbs.org/4slHtik

“Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress”

Yeah, given the extreme cost of the infrastructure just to maybe cut out some boring boilerplate coding? Doesn’t seem worth it.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

If only someone could have foreseen this... 🙄 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Love how all the tips in the replies for "improving" this situation are just things people could just do themselves without involving middle-machine at all and get better outcomes. Every single use-case, like this one, that I think begrudgingly *might* be plausible turns out not to be

It’s really important you call your Democratic elected officials and tell them you unequivocally oppose these actions. This is an area where many Democrats are very bad. They need to hear immediate, overwhelming opposition from their constituents.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Our constitution is clear: the decision to take our nation to war rests with Congress. Trump’s reckless & dangerous decision to initiate military action without congressional authorization is clearly unconstitutional. Congress must reconvene —immediately — for a vote on the War Powers Resolution.

NSF's #GFRP has been embroiled in controversy over the past year. The agency released FAQs today in response to concerns that applicants have had proposals returned without review (RWR). It says there were about the same number of RWRs this year, but that comparison comes with a big asterisk.

This is how men like him react when a woman says 'no' to them, too. Spittle-flicking, vein-popping, red-faced, and rage-spewing existential threats

finally listened to the if books could kill episode on “the anxious generation” - outrageous how much this pop psych book & its shaky, error laden interpretations of data are driving policy & giving well meaning people wrong info about teen mental health. open.spotify.com/episode/3cxP...

Columbia President with NEW details: 5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant. They said they were police looking for a missing kid. Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid." A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss. They ignored him & took the student.

"There is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm. Calls for his resignation now number in the thousands." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

Are you in #Alaska, #Louisiana, #Maine? These are the Senators who need to "just say no" to quackery.

I would love to think along side any historians working on preserving historical memory, records, and archives in the age of AI. When mass manipulation of info is possible, how do we make sure the records we have can be authenticated, traceable, and withstand multiple chain of custodies? 🗃️

"In a span of six weeks starting in mid-December, three people died at the hastily constructed camp at El Paso’s U.S. Army base. One was ruled a homicide involving staff"

Motion to stop referring to it as Next Generation Sequencing. That's like saying The Matrix is a recent movie

So if something becoming liquid is liquefaction and something becoming putrid is putrefaction, then the MAGA effect on this country in every possible way would be sordefaction, yes?

+ outlets end up tossing just anyone on a beat regardless of depth of experience, leading to shallow, gullibile/naive reporting and etc that reflect poorly on those whose beat it actually is.

Part of the problem here is a long-standing issue of mine: The public gets a huge benefit from beat journalism—but the journalism industry does not, by and large, recognize beat journalism for its value or when it comes to awards and prizes. Those go to investigations and "one big thing" features.

Casey Means is one of RFK Jr's wellness whisperers. Like him, she's obsessed w/mitochondrial dysfunction as being a primary source of #autism. &her brother Calley Means is Kennedy the Lesser's aide &has ties to wellness companies. I unpack that here buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...

From my readings (I did not watch this), lotta white Dems sitting on their hands or performing "civility" or "unity" during SOTU and letting the electeds of color do the heavy lifting of actual, courageous, public opposition ... again.

🤔There was a movie about this when I was in high school — 43 years ago. Hmm. What was it called now… www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

A new preprint, co-authored with @johnwkrakauer.bsky.social: The Deliberation Taboo Cognitive science is, nominally, the science of thinking. We argue that the field has no theory of what thinking is and, even worse, that the topic has largely dropped out of focus. 1/ osf.io/preprints/ps...

—> @nytimes.com are you proud of what your transphobia has done?

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word about my Patreon? My goal for the day is one new patron. Patrons help support my art and my existence. You'll receive positive affirmations from Felmer, etiquette advice from Mothman, and other fun posts. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature
