“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

Okay maybe just one

What's your sign?

in catholicism getting to heaven is *directly* tied to your actions on earth (you must do good/not sin/ask for forgiveness) the thing I didn't know until recently is that evangelicals believe that simply accepting christ (being "saved") is a free pass for any behavior forever no matter what

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

Right wingers yesterday: we need to kill every leftist in the world Right wingers today: crazy, Charlie’s neck just did that

Vote blue no matter who

if i had to see this today, so do you

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Calling all genuine true-blue red-blooded Americans.🚨 🌟 Tyranny is here. We the People need serious counter forces. Call out the militias. Don't got one, make one. They're constitutionally protected. There is a reason for that, & you're seeing those reasons right now. Revolution is the solution.

Totally changed my view on Gaza when I learned that the starving kids were… also really sick

A reminder for those who think the war or genocide started on October 7. It's been exactly 25 years since this photo was taken 🇵🇸

It is still wild to me that Luigi Mangione just straight up murdered a dude in broad daylight, approval rating was higher than every US President of the last decade, and no dem consultant stopped to think: "hey, if it's gotten to this point maybe we should *really* do something about health care?"

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language. Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

We're finally going to stop making pennies? Awesome now do nickels and half dollars and 1, 2, 10, and 50 dollar bills

Eveyone & their brother is using ChatGPT to avoid doing the reading/homework & we’re all going to suffer bc of it.

In 1995, divers near the Ryukyu Islands off Japan spotted these elaborate mandala-like art in the sand of the ocean's floor. They were elaborate 2 meter wide sculptures with fluting, shell ornaments placed at ridges, sand sorted by granularity, both consistent in design & unique. (📷: BBC Earth)

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

This clip has already circulated, but I wanted to put out the full version. Canada needs a new foreign policy, independent from the US. Denouncing Israel’s apartheid system and genocide in Gaza is where we should start. We need sanctions too. #FreePalestine #Gaza #cdnpoli #Vancouver

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

Did you ask for a fish fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. 🐟 Electrosensitive rostral appendages that can detect prey items have evolved multiple times within mormyrid fishes, and one of these organs is called the Schnauzenorgan. doi.org/10.1093/iob/...

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.

You have “good insurance” through your job? Well your pediatrician’s office could fold and the [oncologist, neonatologist, critical care, pediatric surgeon, pulmonologist, infectious diseases, nephrologist, etc] that your child needs may not be there anymore when half their payment base collapses.

The real Best Picture winner in our hearts...

I’m not necessarily saying humans are too dumb to be worthy of our spot at the top of the food chain but I will say that if there were 100 gorillas and one gorilla took 55% of all the bananas the other gorillas would beat that gorilla to death with their bare hands.

Very much so. The courts will not save us. We need to shift public opinion by spreading the word about what is really happening, and we need to push Congress members to act like this is an emergency. Which it is.

If you are looking for an alternative to Google maps, magic earth seems to work pretty well

Can’t believe I’m typing this but… FUCK IT IM PLANNING A STAND UP FOR SCIENCE PROTEST IN DC. If you want to be involved, be dm me. I’m nervous, I’ve never done this before, but we gotta be the change we want to see in the world.

If you think the NSF is a waste of government money, you should stop using any technology created using NSF-funded research. Like cell phones. Or the Internet

I hate this fucking party

You will never lick a boot so well and so often that they let you take a turn wearing it.

No we live paycheck to paycheck instead of going overseas

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Abolish the Supreme Court

This sucks. We had a good run
