You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

So awesome! Plus his posture echos (inspired?) the animation of the Peanuts kids dancing!

This is a great thread. Biggs is very much on my mind all the time these days as I write STAR WARS: LEGEND OF BEGGAR'S CANYON. Great character.

We hope you enjoy these 𝚌̶𝚘̶𝚗̶𝚟̶𝚎̶𝚛̶𝚜̶𝚊̶𝚝̶𝚒̶𝚘̶𝚗̶ conservation hearts from the Library of Congress! Happy Valentine's Day! 🩵💛🧡💚🩷

Help! My netgalley approved list is currently looking VERY PALE, please tell me what books you're looking forward to in the next six months written by POC authors (bonus if they're mystery/thriller* with a dose of the futuristic or fantastic) *for an expanded definition of mystery/thriller

This painstakingly detailed account of a nightmare experience working with Google feels worth honoring with a read. So unprofessional and disrespectful of Google. news.artnet.com/art-world/ju...

If you're still catching up on your 2025 reading, I'd love for you to consider my story "Unfinished Architectures of the Human-Fae War": www.uncannymagazine.com/article/unfi...

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I am done with collaborationist bullshit

Yes, everything is terrible, but I painted this and it kinda rocks #sciart

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

While I have a lot of people's attention: As some of y'all know, I volunteer at a women's shelter in Brooklyn. Over the time I've been there, a lot of women have approached me about starting a knitting/crocheting group. The Big Barrier to this is that there is no money for supplies. (cont'd)

I missed this when it first came out, but it's all too familiar. Sigh. ⚛️ 🎢 👩‍🔬

ICYMI this is an incredible bargain — everything @annaleen.bsky.social and I have written for Tor, for $18 plus whatever you can spare. And it benefits a wonderful organization that supports Black trans people. If you wanna discover our work and do some good, here's your chance!

Listened to/read "This Story Does Not Exist" by Kylie Lee Baker from @uncannymagazine.bsky.social 68 read by @hollygodarkly.wandering.shop.ap.brid.gy Quite an interesting and moving story from the POV of a robot. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/this...

Ok I sent a few percent of that!

Also, love the comments here about folks not being intimidated and even more motivated to vote. That’s also a good message. Especially if it comes with social support … going to the polls with a friend or group.

So many developers have sent me that Anthropic skills/mastery case study that I realized I should ungate what I *already wrote* about this: beginning principles to design workflows that work *with* your mind, not against it, & protect your problem-solving www.fightforthehuman.com/cognitive-he...

Lots of thought provoking commentary. Thanks for sharing this!

ABOLISH LEGAL GENDER ENTIRELY We can still have social gender but legal gender only serves to enable discrimination and should be done away with like we did away with legal race for the same reason.

We have a new wishlist set-up, thanks to @unburntwitch.com putting me in a headlock and wrenching a task I totally did not have the time to properly do out of my grasp!!! Not only are they better organized, but the highest need is at the top, so you can save a printer from running out!

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.

I’m currently very excited thinking about how to learn to perceive better, and finding things I can intentionally practice to uncover more in the world around me - thanks for posting this reference!

i went to usc film school and “how to watch a movie” didn’t actually click until i read peter woolen’s signs & meaning in the cinema during the summer between my freshman and sophomore years

Wow, a professor whose work is full of sketchy fraud that he blames others for, turns out to also want to be connected to sex offenders. Great. Just waiting to hear similar news about his collaborator Gino

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

I want this quote on a t-shirt, a sign, a tattoo, and every grassroots organizing manual from here forward.

Ralph Pantozzi, the Library’s 2024-2025 Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow and New Jersey math teacher, finds inspiration in the arithmetic section of the Adams Building book stacks.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Love and rage from the so-called UK 🖤 I'd love to play this with my folk band if you'd be alright with that

Here's one from Buffalo Tom's Bill Janowitz that he released after Renee Good's murder.

Billy Bragg also chimed in: bsky.app/profile/bill...

not to make everything DCEU related but here's a David Crosby song that came to mind for this moment. (He's backed with a cast of... basically every hippie adjacent artist in LA at the time and you can really ID each of those famous voices in the mix. Band is Nash + the dead's Garcia & Kreutzmann)

I hope you can get heard on this. The sources of all the revisionist history really matter! And so does the filtering of the books (or excerpts) kids read in schools. @annieabrams.bsky.social comes at these ideas from a similar direction as you do, I think.

What I'd like to note is that natural consequence is an intrinsic part of redemption, so if you help somebody avoid natural consequence, then you aren't making a path to redemption, and if somebody is seeking some sort of restoration without consequence, then redemption isn't what they are after.

Nor is this an insignificant distinction; it's the difference from turning away from an abusive path toward decency and humanity (a very good and necessary first step), and the lifelong work of actually walking the path and paying the cost of walking back all the abusive ground you covered.

The context collapse of CS and Eng into other fields that have diversified far more and have very different pathway patterns, shows the limitation of any analysis that just uses "STEM"

With much respect to the people who have posted "Parable of the Sower", I give you a different take on surviving disasters as a Minnesotan community: @naomikritzer.bsky.social's The Year Without Sunshine www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...
