This is such a wild way to admit you never understood the basic fundamentals of your whole job.

let's talk about disgust at cities.

Y'all really used a photo from the 1992 riots in LA. What the smothered and covered fuck.

More tales from the international trade of human remains

A lot of people are stunningly ignorant about what comms experts actually do, but what else is new

so excited to be part of the Give Writers Money club, though I do wish theft was not involved and it was just a rich guy writing us all checks to be nice instead of us being compensated for the wrongs done us

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

As someone who wrote a book literally titled WHITE FLIGHT, I’d just like to say that the argument that *whites* were the victims of violence in neighborhood transitions is so laughably racist it’s almost insane.

It's spooky lakes month!

Doing this interview was really eye-opening for me.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

i don't understand conservative toughness, which involves being scared shitless of everything but also talking about how tough you are

For-profit insurance is not just expensive; they're actively stealing. That money? It's your tax dollars. Basically, they're committing massive fraud to funnel public funds—money meant for patient care—into their bottom line and executive pockets. It’s highway robbery, paid for by the taxpayer.

Even a passing knowledge of Black history will make clear that not only was this level of destruction possible, it was inevitable. “Did you know they’d shut down US AID?” I mean these are the same people who closed all public schools in a county rather than desegregate. Yes. Yes I did.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

I am mostly trying to stay off social media on Sundays now but I did just see an Instagram post saying “the only thing that’s scary about Portland is how they pronounce Couch Street” and it made me die laughing so if you’ve ever lived here that’s for you okay bye again love you

I cannot stress this enough, if you are within 5ft of a bat's mouth and there isn't like, zoo enclosure glass or similar between you? RABIES SHOTS FOR EVERYBODY!

WAKE THE FUCK UP BABE THEY'VE MANAGED TO SLOW THE PROGRESS OF HUNTINGTON'S BY 75%

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

I cannot in good conscience participate in an event that will drive viewers and dollars to a broadcasting corporation that colludes and capitulates, that collapses like a house of cards under pressure from the Trump Administration. My detailed comments below.

Coming up on 20 years of plaintiff's litigation and I can assure everyone: A "mistake" which just so happens to be profitable for a company is always the intended outcome of the company's choices.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A hardworking person posted the KOMO advertisers on Reddit. Really easy to just follow the links and contact Sinclair’s revenue sources in Seattle. www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/co...

To clarify a point here though, vaccines did not stop the COVID pandemic. We are still in a pandemic. Vaccines have saved a LOT of lives that would have been lost to COVID, but COVID transmission continues unchecked and out of control across the globe. And that's the definition of a pandemic.

It was clear this was going to happen when tiktok got banned in January and came back in 24 hours with a fearless leader speil.

okay so if you have the very latest update, what you do is right-click on any tab and scroll down to select the "Unload Tab" feature. it leaves it in place but grays it out. so it's not taking up any space but once you need it again you just click back into it and wake it back up

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Who could’ve predicted this, other than every single critical data studies scholar, who’ve been highlighting data bias issues for years and years? Given this previous knowledge, it’s criminal that this technology has been deployed at scale. A triumph of willful ignorance and wishful thinking.

We keep saying CBS and ABC are "bowing to pressure" from the White House. Have you considered that they just agree with him?

1) a warm croissant and a well-made latte too early on a cold morning. 2) loud music and rolled down windows on a summer afternoon by the water 3) tfw starting a project clicks over into getting into the groove of a project 4) Perfect sunsets in grocery store parking lots. 5) fresh ground coffee

Preprint claiming link between COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and 'transcriptomic dysregulation'/cancer (based on just 10 people who got cancer in the year after vaccination) has been withdrawn. HT: @reeserichardson.bsky.social preprints.org/manuscript/2... See: scienceintegritydigest.com/2025/07/25/p...

Police brutality is bad; systematic racial profiling and illegal deportations are bad; abortion clinic bombings are bad; mass graves are worse. You know what a child's skull looks like after multiple blunt-force traumas? That's the floor. Keeping everyone out of mass graves is the fundamental goal.

The big reason I'm trying to hammer "civil conflict/political violence" here is because I've spent a substantial chunk of the last five years looking at mass graves. I want a society where people aren't plotting to kill their neighbors and throw them into one. That's where all this can lead.

Gun violence is a public health crisis.

GOOD NEWS: Despite RFK Jr saying he would cancel $500 million in mRNA research, the House Committee on Appropriations has passed a spending package, that includes $1.1 billion for “advanced research and development” at BARDA, which includes research on mRNA vaccines.

Let's fucking go!

To be clear for those of you chomping for the American Years of Lead, this greatly increases your personal chances of dying in random political violence. It will not be a heroic, meaningful death. It will be meaningless, forgotten, and fade into the background noise of a society in free fall.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk will have almost exclusively extremely negative consequences for American society in general, the stability of society in specific, and the safety of everyone living in it.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

Shut the fuck up friday is in full effect

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration
