Don’t let the dark world steal your joy. 🕎

Bioethicists have been banging on for years about the commodification of reproduction and yet still failed to imagine this monstrosity

Agree it is not enough to say "this is eugenic" as if that ended the argument. But saying this is NOT eugenics because it isn't state coercion + sterilization is jsut ignorant. Positive eugenics also worked out badly. So let's discuss that.

Does he owe favors to Russian oligarchs or is it just part of his pro-crime agenda? We may never know.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

She’s giving herself credit for informing the public NOW? Not while he was campaigning to be president? Not before he was confirmed at HHS? In December 2025, to sell a book. Wow, how courageous. F*** you.

What a pathetic tiny little man

How many people are spending this pre-holiday weekend working on their pitch for the Nuzzi-Lizza miniseries?

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

The swastika is “potentially divisive.” Yeah, that about sums it up.

Absent clarity in what they can and cannot do, medical providers will restrict care even beyond the scope of restrictive laws. Legal support from their institutions makes a huge difference. We found this in a 2022 study of genetic counselors in TX and other restrictive states.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.

Perfect.

Inshallah

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

starting to realize how difficult it is to avoid all the nazi discourse i think it is because of all the nazis

Puppy-killer says what?

decent point

Says more about you than him, doesn’t it?

As if you didn’t have enough reasons to vote for Mamdani….

No one’s gonna tell him?

Good news everybody it's Friday

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

You were guilty. They found you guilty.

When I was ten I went to the head of Little League in my town and asked him to show me in the rules where it said a girl couldn't play bsaeball... and he did. So forgive me if I'm sniffling a little bit. Allergies.

So thrilled that my friend and genetic counseling colleague @laurahercher.bsky.social is opening this mornings events at #WCPG2025 She’s speaking about polygenic embryo editing and the ethics associated with it on the context of our current political moment

Stop calling us nazis! Only nazis can use the words nazis.

A long thread I posted earlier on the Today Show’s pretty awful segment on embryo selection.

Earlier this week, the Today Show did a feature on embryo selection AKA an infomercial for Orchid a genetic testing company. Reader, it was bad. Occasionally wrong, consistenly misleading. This deserves a closer look. 1/many www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmG7...

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

And the 500 wealthiest people? It's not even a ruling class, it's a ruling clique.

Tiny-dicktator strikes back.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

This grandma too!

Can attest

Shohei Ohtani with arguably the greatest single game performance in the history of baseball.

But anyone saying true and unfalttering things about Charlie Kirk should be shot. Why is that confusing?

Even in this place, I feel the sheer scale of foreign aid being demolished isn't fully appreciated. As it stands, it is perhaps *the* most catastrophic change to preventable deaths in our lifetimes, and the salience - even in presumably friendly spaces - is basically zero apnews.com/article/myan...

400 people with all the money chose a transactional, tyrannical toddler as our president because they don't care how much harm he inflcts so long as no one threatens them with regulation or taxation.

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

Guy who advocates for skipping college demonstrates the value of reading, you know, BOOKS.

And just like that, nobody ever died again.

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.” Among those RIFd: —leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases; —leadership of global health center —leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

Perhaps someone would remind him that the Democrats HAD the majority in 2021 and (sadly) none of this happened.

All changed, changed utterly A terrible beauty is born
