Did you guys hear about Will Stancil leaking the Tinder ICE Honey Trap details just to take credit for the work done by women for months (ruining the entire operation by doing so)?

Just a reminder, for those in Seattle, that you can read the Seattle Times free every day with your library card at spl.org

I find it incredibly telling when men like Dawkins are convinced that the LLMs are ‘intelligent’ because it ‘agrees’ with them or tells them how insightful or clever they are

Richard Dawkins and his Computer circa 2026

THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT THANK YOU

As shocking as this may sound, adults, YA is not meant for you. It is written for teenagers. It is developmentally appropriate for them. YA is not the enemy of adult fiction. Without YA you won't keep enough teens reading as adult to sustain adult fiction.

I’ve been journaling all my life but became more dedicated as an epidemiologist during COVID & seeing how lies spread Down the line, they gonna lie about this too. Who authored the return of Jim Crow. What Trump 2.0 was. Who was there. Why. Who it impacted. I won’t let them lie.

Sharing this screen grab from a friend at NIH (with permission). This is a checklist program officers have to complete before a grant can be awarded. The first question: "Is this grant All Clean/Clear in the NIH Text analysis Tool?" 🧵1/3

so the company is gonna bring in, in one year, more paying users than all 94 million people currently on netflix’s ad-supported tier, or about 20% users of spotify’s ad-supported tier ummmmm

I was writing jokes for Amber Ruffin when she was supposed to host the White House Correspondent's Dinner last year, but then she got fired for saying bad things about Donald Trump. I think tonight, I shall post a few of them here.

My therapist says: 'Don't look away' does not mean 'constantly stare at' Happy Friday. We will win.

How it started / how it’s going — Jay Bhattacharya edition. 2025: “We will never use this agency to censor scientists who disagree" 2026 : Bhattacharya “has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits”.

“The decision to have an abortion is a personal, intimate choice. Who would have the gall to file a lawsuit over someone’s decision like that and splash it all over the papers, except for someone who intends to further abuse?”

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

“For more than a century, a smelter and other factories had spewed lead-laced smoke across the city’s east side, leading the federal government to declare a huge swath of Omaha a Superfund site…including about a third of the east side’s residential properties...”

So you're telling me the vouchers didn't actually expand access to private schools, but instead helped line the pockets of these schools? I'm shocked.

It’s a work in progress, but some key points are that the pleasure of disabled folks is devalued bc we are expected to focus on survival and being less disabled above all else and pleasure spaces allow us to resist that AND to build community

So miss me with the AI literacy solutions. In fact, keep missing me until you propose “AI literacy” that teaches folks how these systems incorporate systemic oppression into its operations. That’s the kind of literacy we need.

Anyone arguing that some flavor of AI literacy will protect women from AI deep fake porn is at best unserious and at worst desperate to protect their automated goon generator. This is prima facie not a literacy problem.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

I’m rewatching The Good Place and got a good laugh from Michael describing The Good Place Committee: “The Titanic is sinking, and they’re writing a strongly-worded letter to the iceberg.” www.avclub.com/michael-schu...

“We want to destroy the humanities as a field, we only want people working vocations, we don’t want you thinking, speaking, writing for yourself.” Is, once again, a Saturday morning cartoon villain’s plot.

This part exactly. We are currently repeating some of the worst moments in history and everyone keeps calling it unprecedented because history is poorly taught and we are making all the same terrible decisions with higher stakes

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

OK, his complaint makes mine look like nothing

Trump/Vought are planning to eliminate the program that oversees social science funding from the National Science Foundation, and they are not going to wait for Congress to weigh in because they have already shown they believe they have the power of the purse. bsky.app/profile/lizn...

‼️ omg "As for what those judges will stand for—as opposed to stand against—Brest has no clear answer" Fed Soc "knew what they wanted to do and why, and changed the face of law. Dems can do the same, but they have to try" I have a clear answer! I'm trying! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...

Scratch a transphobe, find a misogynist. They don’t care about protecting women, they care about controlling us. Transphobia is a threat to all women’s rights.

Solid explanation of dysautonomia as well as some recovery tips.

Yesterday I had a busy morning but a restful afternoon, so I was expecting I'd be mostly ok today. But I didn't sleep much, and had a minor stressor this morning - as a result my autonomic issues are having a party. HR all over the place, drained, brain fogged, uncoordinated etc. Really

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

SO MUCH THIS, I am also so very tired of this, shaming terrible people is great but shame them for the REASON THEY ARE TERRIBLE and not for anything about their bodies or appearances

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

This is…a lot. In addition to her husband being investigated, the Labor Secretary herself is also being investigated for “having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs…”

MUST READ: The best synthesis I have seen so far of things I knew or had put together from various sources but had not really seen pulled together 🧪 Importantly, I don’t think these academics were an aberration. I think a lot of scientists would have entered these circles, given the option.

One of the hardest things to wrap one’s mind around is that these dudes can write this shit utterly convinced that they’re not having an emotion.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
