Memorize this for when “sensible moderate” politicians try to get you to throw your trans friends and relatives under the bus. Not only is it shitty and evil, it’s (say it with me) BAD POLITICS!

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

@eschatonblog.com this made made lol!

My kid made another gorgeous level in Geometry Dash. Anyone in the videogame industry looking for an intern next summer? www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRFn...

Gotta love Luck. And what amazing serendipity on this shot!

Anyone live in any of these districts and want to take on one of these losers?

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I love this guy. youtu.be/uGBQwCsIhn0?...

If I see one more sci-fi show or movie where there is breathable air on a planet with no plants, I swear. I know the desert/stone/lava/metal planet the art department whipped up looks cool, but your actors are gonna have to put on those space suits with the interior helmet lights.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Shimmering Kids!

If you can get past Mid-Atlantic-Man voice, this is a great little piece of history. Even though the makers understood the impact of the transistor was going to be huge, they still had NO IDEA how huge. youtu.be/V9xUQWo4vN0?...

When @wired asked me to look at Silicon Valley in the age of Trump, I saw the crash of the idealism that originally drew founders--and me--to the tech revolution. Selling out the dream will not serve those moguls (or us) well. www.wired.com/story/silico...

Canceled Disney+/Hulu.

This guy sounds fucking great.

I mixed up a bunch of housey tunes from the last few years. www.mixcloud.com/djisf/all-ov...

Super nice words from @jefito.com!

Very exciting to see these folks spinning up the machine again!

My kid made a ridiculously-pretty "level" (this one plays itself) in Geometry Dash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr1X...

I made a mix of a bunch of house-infused tracks from the past few years. www.mixcloud.com/djisf/all-ov...

Can we just reply "Stop2End" on this whole corrupt machine?

lithub.com/elon-musk-ju... I'd love to ask Musk and Bezos (another self-proclaimed Banks fan) how they envision that our culture can get from our current state (a small number of people hoarding massive amounts of wealth) to the FALC (Fully-Automated-Luxury-Communism) system of The Culture.

Goodbye, Newsom. "Unwilling to jettison big-dollar donors by offering an economic agenda for the working class, Democrats are choosing instead to run a nasty race to the bottom, and treating trans people, immigrants, and other vulnerable minorities as disposable." theintercept.com/2025/03/07/g...

Maybe if enough of us post this, the right people will see it.

This is Ben's latest Geometry Dash level. He did everything in this - the artwork, colors, every asset - he even wrote the music. Check out the comments (never thought I'd write those words!) too.

A reminder that the weirdos running the country right now do not have popular views.

"Perhaps [any efforts by democratic leadership are] too much to expect from leaders who’ve grown so comfortable in their donor-funded cages that they mistake their chains for jewelry."

Amen!

Just posted a mix of contemporary breakbeat stuff. Hope you dig it!
