They should make something that goes in Pez dispensers that you want to eat.

Politically, it’s going to be important to stop and reverse these changes not only by appealing to expertise but also by arguing that scientific peer review is better *on democratic grounds* than letting political appointees make these decisions.

Notably, these are not the reasons why the American people elected Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton.

I think that evil silicon valley is really backwards about where AI will be useful. Like, AI will make both research and fraudulent research easier than ever, thus making peer review more important. The worst people think AI will end all disagreement for ever, and I don't think that's at all right.

“economic powerhouses”

To all the people who've been punishing birds for masturbating: consider yourselves told

happy first day of pride, a reminder that if someone misgenders you, you are allowed to punch them in the face, steal their gundam, and start a war to ruin their life, specifically.

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

1/ 🧵 OMB is advancing a proposed rule that would destroy the American scientific enterprise. Randos keep disagreeing with my 'here's how to fight it' I do this for a living. So before the "how," here's the "who" --- and why you should listen to me on this one.

one of the clear cases of pmc class neurosis is this desperation to simultaneously not be a pmc (aesthetically) while remaining a pmc (materially)

going through some old katelabs pics

Sometimes you gotta spend a lot of time trying to make the thing that’s not gonna end up working work so you can discover the thing that is going to work (which you’ll have to also spend a lot of time on).

If a Democrat said this on teevee, they’d be fleeing to live off the grid in an unnamed country by lunchtime.

Saw some Greater White-fronted Geese for the first time yesterday.

added false walls to my game, and the camera plays along #pixelart #ドット絵 #indiedev #gamdev

holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

It’s notable that the Platner campaign has stoked this sort of “establishment is out to get him” conspiratorial thinking among his supporters the entire time.

Stephen Miller’s pathological hatred of immigrants has made stupidity and cruelty official policy across every department of the federal government. “Only American citizens and green card holders can be airport janitors” is ridiculous. This man legally worked there for almost 30 years!

Oh dear God!!! This is exactly what happens when dogs and cats lay down together. 😳 #Caturday

Graham Platner is the same thing as Trump's idiot "central casting" fixation, which gives us guys like Pete Hegseth, but leftishly.

a thing i totally believe is that a guy who couldn't stop doing this shit even after (right after) he got married was able pack it away for the sake of his senate campaign and would definitely not be doing this shit or anything like it if he were elected senator

Watch Kedi everyone

eastwood's movie arc since "unforgiven" is a fairly frank skepticism about the redeeming power of violence and imperfect attempts to understand experiences different than his own

Why are cats so beloved in Turkey? www.sapiens.org/culture/cat-...

Literally everything else aside, the lack of impulse control, discipline, and accountability from this guy in the very recent past and during his campaign are disqualifying enough.

Please let someone show Trump this post on Truth. Please just as a treat. I want to see him go all in on Matt Walsh.

Was really ready to hear "I Love Boosters" in the "I Love Boosters" end credits, but oh well. Movie was a ride.

Just got asked by the concessions stand person whether i was here to see “Backrooms” and when I said I was seeing “I Love Boosters” they said, “Oh, the real obscure stuff.”

I love finding out that a display thing I've been meaning to add to this game I've been working on for almost 5 years WAS something I actually added years ago, but I made a dumb typo so it never showed up

Obviously hate living through it but thank god this dumbass is convinced ppl just want more of him

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

I hope he comes out in a sequined jumpsuit

watching the chuds turn literally everything into Gender at all times is so exhausting and stupid figuring out that You Don't Have To Do That is, I believe, the single most helpful realization a young man can make, it's such an enormous life improvement to just embrace what you actually like

There's a form of magical thinking that pervades everyone from Matt Yglesias to your average Bluesky communist: that Dems are One Weird Trick away from never losing another election, and it just happens to require Dems looking into the camera and endorsing the speaker's policy preferences.

There is a whole CBS interview the NYT is quoting this from here, and crucially, this is not Talarico responding to a question about his support for trans people. This is specifically a response to a question about his past statement that there are "six biological sexes" (6:30 in the interview).

Funny enough, Evangelicals believe Mike Lee will do the same because he's Mormon.

I saw Mike Lee at Costco today and it was odd to see a senator that everyone just avoided. When I've run into John Curtis or Jeff Flake in public here they're surrounded by people who want to talk to them.

To be clear, I do not just mean the right. Nihilism haunts many progressives, leftists, and what we'll generously call apolitical centrists. If you cannot posit a world that should exist, you cannot create anything of value and at the core of that work is belief in that other, different world.

10S FOREVER 1.1 RELEASE FLASH SALE behind on rent so the game is $1.04 this weekend owch.itch.io/10sf itch version just updated to 1.1 with: - custom PALETTES (see gif) - ABRIDGED and BOSS RUSH modes - other if it breaks lmk! gonna be testing some more tonight before pushing the steam build. <3

This scam is hitting basically every academic with a book out I guess and I would love if more people shared. The one I got about EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED was interested in the open world stuff, and when I looked up the book club they were spoofing it was entirely dedicated to romantasy.

...i can think of a very good one word, two letter response www.wired.com/story/future...

Most importantly, the idea that the Trumpist assault is a reaction to “woke” excesses in the recent past is utterly ahistorical. The hysterical critique of “liberal” orthodoxy in higher education has been a core element of movement conservatism’s political identity since the 1950s.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

It's genuinely funny a 74 year old senator got played by the most obvious conman ever and is now posting passive aggressively like a pre-teen who hasn't learned subtlety yet.
