It’s 100% this.

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

Writing isn’t boring!!! If you’re using AI for the parts of your writing that you find boring, WHY ARE YOU WRITING?!?!? Literally!!! Ask yourself!!! Why are you doing this!!!!

Some delightful reading for fellow orange cat enjoyers:

Super interesting thread!

Yippee ki-yay, Charlie Brown

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

Donald Trump has asked his employees on the Supreme Court to overrule lower court orders demanding that he fulfill his duties to feed Americans who are due SNAP benefits AND He's demanding that states which just rushed to fill the vacuum created by his cruelty "undo" that work.

Imagine an end to doomscrolling into the wee hours, and instead a restful night of sleep, every night until you die

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty. But beware...

No mention of Rosalind Franklin? Fucking lame

"Strictly speaking, this was misdemeanor assault. He threw an object. It hit an officer. Those are the facts. Any other context, any other time, that’s a conviction. The jury could have found him guilty on the law and the facts. open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

There will be some recounts, but early results are that Dems flipped 30 towns in Connecticut. Republicans flipped 1, by less than 10 votes, which will go to a recount. 30 towns.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

Really great thread! #1u

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

*cries in Connecticut*

I don’t disagree with the author’s premise, but goddamn if I am not bone fucking tired of being treated like a mannequin in this endless “oh no, the men are sad!” narrative

Did a new one

How great would this be for a Yankee Swap?

Incredible photo from yesterday's #nokings protests by Olga Fedorova for AP

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.

Blockety block block BLOCK!!!

I’m in a room where a whole ass faculty member said “Chat GPT 5 would be able to write a better NSF proposal than me” and… well… My inside thoughts got the best of me BC I said loud as fuck “that’s unfortunate, because there’s not a machine on earth that writes better than me.”

My lab is hiring a 2-yr hummingbird evolution and genomics postdoc and a 1-yr salaried research and lab tech. Both with full U. Wyoming benefits. Please spread the word! Info below. Best consideration date Nov 1, start dates early Spring 2026.

I got 2/3 correct; this was a challenge! If you've got a little time, check it out.

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Increasingly, I feel as if these self-proclaimed coalition builders talking about "winning the middle" aren't talking about the people they hope to win over. Rather, they're talking about themselves, and defining what it will take to keep them in the tent. Not opposed to purity tests; issuing them.

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

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