Today @tinaadcock.bsky.social is "Surprised by Queer Joy" This is the concluding piece to our Succession IV: Queering the Environment – “Queer Joy” series, edited by Adcock, @jessicamdewitt.bsky.social & Sarah York-Bertram niche-canada.org/2026/07/02/s...

This is a really cool piece on how Alan Alda has funded an initiative to help researchers better communicate their findings to the public through learning improv skills.

Imma dance like David when he goes to the lower room.

ah, so THIS is what they meant by "bringing back black jobs"

Not lost on me that once the stats about Black Women being the most well educated and degreed demographic started being spread and talked about widely that *suddenly* these attacks on higher education funding got more aggressive and pointed.

this guy has it

we talked to employees at multiple companies that are pumping the brakes on AI because it's so expensive to use www.404media.co/companies-ar...

Data centers spike the cost of power for everyone who lives nearby. Often, people building new projects promise they’ll build out power infrastructure to make up the cost and prevent normal people from footing the bill. That's not how it works. @mjgault.bsky.social: www.404media.co/henrico-virg...

I know these haters mad 😌 #WNBA

Ok, this is an elected representative. How can he be this stupid? It's been precedent for 150 years! 🤣🤣🤣😎

🔥 The Los Angeles Dodgers ownership group has DIVESTED from GEO Group, the private prison company running ICE detention facilities. No one should be profiting from ICE detention camps. #DIVEST #$GEO www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

one thing that I find remarkable is that it is surprisingly left/radical coded in some spaces to think that Congress needs institutional reform in order to allow for more functional government

This man makes me wish I lived in Georgia so I could vote to reelect him to the Senate. I guess I'll just have to wait to vote for Jon Ossoff @ossoff.bsky.social when, hopefully, the Dems draft him to run for President! 🇺🇸 #AwesomeOssoff2028

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else. I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

In another life, I wrote stories about research like this, trying to keep 465K people out of the ER and 110K people from being hospitalized from "just a stomach bug"

Wait, do people not understand this!! This shit means EVERYBODY.

Yow!

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 !

Some rare good news: Looks like I may live forever www.medpagetoday.com/gastroentero...

Supportive.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

two things. first, always an irony that alito recapitulates the exact same arguments made against his immigrant forbearers. second, if this is all the 14th amendment did it would not have repudiated dred scott

This is how ethnonationalists think of citizenship: it goes with purity of blood, so allowing others of impure blood to be citizens tarnishes the value of citizenship as a proof of purity. There are echoes here of hundreds of year old European nationalist ideologies and even the Iberian Reconquista.

The SC overturned its own precedent with this pretzel logic

Now in post form www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is a reminder that some schools have already begun closing girls’ athletics teams because the requirement to verify gender was too onerous. Even just a form signed by a parent confirming their child’s gender identity is a barrier beyond what boys are required to do to play sports.

“"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices." - Adam Smith, WEALTH OF NATIONS

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

As of March 2026 Microsoft had $78.2 billion cash on hand btw. Not revenue or stock value or whatever. Just walkin' around money.

Mitch McConnell should resign Immediately…..

A University of Hawaiʻi report says that building more solar farms with battery storage is the most cost-effective way to power Oʻahu, rather than building new power plants. The electricity company doesn’t agree. Lol.

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Four out of nine Supreme Court justices find the Constitution unconstitutional, what a time to be alive

The NBA took the all-star game away from Charlotte over it! It was wild.

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

we are one john roberts heart attack away from the complete dissolution of the reconstruction amendments and instantiation of a formalized caste system

"A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny."

Neil deGrasse Tyson reframed the entire gender debate with one question: "Why is another adult's identity any of your business?" You do not have to agree with every worldview to defend someone's right to live peacefully. That is not a political position. That is the definition of a free society.

Complutense University of Madrid researchers found Long COVID patients had altered antibodies, with signs of immune imprinting and possible lingering viral fragments that may keep the immune system switched on long after infection. theconversation.com/el-misterio-...

We've normalized Covid infections to our detriment: Genetic data from 5.8 million people and MRIs from 15,640 indicate that COVID-19 was linked to faster brain shrinkage over time, suggesting accelerated brain aging. journals.lww.com/md-journal/f...

Has anyone in the White House press corps asked Trump about this?

We need to adopt as a nation a politics of kindness and empathy and peace. And to do that we do as a nation unfortunately have to put a bunch of specific people in the ground

I like watching the life disappearing from their eyes as they realize they got it all wrong and are suffering the consequences.

Mamdani just showed up at Penn Station, wristbands in hand, helping World Cup fans find their trains like it was nothing. Panama vs England, MetLife bound, and the mayor was just out there in the crowd. No big deal. Very big deal.

Let's go S.Carolina Vote for Nancy Lacore💥
