"This is not the time for hope" is such a self-own. Tell us again why we're doomed, Bruce.

Per message shared w/ me: The State Department just notified certain staff they are to work during the shutdown because their job is "necessary for emergencies involving the safety of human life" or "essential to national security" Except…some people who got this were laid off weeks ago in the RIF!

I can't imagine the shame of getting a grant funded after my institution signed away the very things that made it possible to conceive and design this our fabulous science.

"To a man and woman, however, Trump and his reichsministers look like one of three things: octogenarian stroke victims, rejected Archer characters, or a Garbage Pail Kid named “Brain-Worm BOBBY.”

This is such a good in-depth read on the failings of diagnostic AI

Aw, yeah... it's time to get:

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

generals gathered in their masses watching trump emit some gasses

this! and most importantly, I do not want to download your app

"International weapons trafficker Kash Patel" honestly makes him sound a liitle too cool

We should be solving our problems, not spraying them away. That’s why I’m fighting for clean, accessible, and safe bathrooms for our city. Whether you’re the Big Dumper or a mom with a toddler, you shouldn’t have to scour the city for a place to poop. #thisisyourcity youtube.com/shorts/V4VdJ...

The ones where the Westlaw and Lexis AI tools hallucinated cases are BONKERS

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

Immigration peeps, start taking your pain meds so we can deal with the headache of Venezuela simultaneously being the most dangerous evil nation in the world and also fine and doing better each day so no TPS for you.

i will admit that it is very funny to imagine generals (and their egos) reading an email telling them they’re being summoned to washington by a fucking guardsman for a lecture on the wArRiOr MiNdSeT

I’m on the article side. Processing aurally is hard, mmmkay.

Higher Ed’s H-1B Visas in 4 Charts More than 16,700 employees at colleges and universities got H-1B visas approved in fiscal year 2025, but they are concentrated at 100 large research institutions. https://bit.ly/46Dj5Rn

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

The fact that this hateful little man holds such power despite never once having undergone a confirmation vote 😬

Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995)

there is no fear in America that informs policy so profoundly as the terror that we might accidentally afford someone human rights or dignity without first determining that they have earned those things; and, by extension, the idea that those things must be earned.

The Ones Who Visit Omelas Without Doing a Ton of Research But Then on the Tour of Omelas They’re Like “Wait What the Fuck Did the Tour Guide Just Say”

RIP, Edgar Alan Poe. You would have loved building walls in Minecraft

I love that the guy that threw his shoes at bush is into this

The end of the recent Naked Gun movie where the villain has been spouting on about the most worthy to survive and then crumples after one punch and whines “you hit me”

He's SO CLOSE

No victory is final, but no defeat is final either

ok but get a heat pump, it’s not that deep

Obviously breaking an unjust law is not a sin. But I am also concerned/fascinated by how the sinlessness of Christ is doing some really reactionary work here. (I’m not opposed to the doctrine of Christ’s sinlessness *except* that it often gets in the way of seeing his real solidarity with humanity)

Sara Nelson and Bruce Harrell both leaned into the “Seattle is dying” KOMO tv narrative (komonews.com/news/local/k...) to win their elections. In the process of doing so they validated the right-wing narrative about Seattle, and hurt our city’s reputation. Short term expediency, long term damage.

"War-ravaged Portland"

A new complaint from ACLU and other human rights groups details how the warden at a Lousiana ICE facility created an unofficial “work program” of manual labor and sexual humiliation for trans men at the facility. This is very hard to read. rfkhumanrights.org/wp-content/u...

Assata Shakur exchanged letters with Audre Lorde from prison, and Lorde wrote for her the poem "For Assata": I dream of your freedom as my victory and the victory of all dark women who forego the vanities of silence 👇Here's the whole poem
