‘Pain only hurts’ 🔥

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

Ok this is cool 🤩

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Every municipality needs to understand that data center jobs do not exist. There are no people in data centers. When people need to go to data centers they usually come from some big tech company HQ, or from some contractor hired to shove servers into racks. They are built by nonlocal specialists.

That thing when you are back at a conference you haven’t attended for ~20 years, and then the first question of the first speaker is asked and you immediately recognise the voice… 😅

Re-upping this. \

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

All the data we have suggests this is indeed the case, that this president thinks there's one definition of "asylum" and every time someone says "asylum-seekers" his pudding-brain flashes pictures of cartoon villains and threats to Gotham

Wanted to make a joke along the line of ‘the only ICE I respect’ but I think it IS too soon and I am sorry 😬 Wee bit of dissonance induced by having the police board at the border to check passports. On the one hand, not a big deal. OTOH… oh Europe 😢

#nzpol Do we have to do this all the time? beehive.govt.nz/release/20-mil… It’s not new funding. “the initiative will be funded from Health New Zealand’s baseline”. So it’s actually being cut from somewhere else. We already underfunded the health system at the Budget. This is a further cut

this exists it is called thinking

WANT

Human rights AND human dignity, please and thank you 🙏✊

Wayne Connell, Chief HR officer for @washingtonpost.com, voluntarily put his name on a letter informing a Black woman that men who believe she is genetically inferior are a protected class and that she engaged in misconduct by criticizing men who have historically advocated for lynching Black people

something something political violence

I’m also beginning to think the endless right-wing focus on letting both students and faculty make bigoted remarks in college classrooms wasn’t about protecting academic freedom or promoting intellectual diversity.

The ‘gold standard’ meaning, of course, that it will make someone money 💰

i saw goody proctor making inflammatory posts about charlie kirk

Feeling suddenly very smug about having committed to doing all my intra-Europe travel on the train… 🤗

Anyway, the operator also mentioned that the system to cancel Disney+ subscriptions is down. So if you think you canceled, double check. The process involves multiple confirmation emails. If you only received one, you might be stuck halfway.

I just called Disney+ to cancel my account and had the most joyful interaction with an operator who was laughing the entire time about how many people had canceled today. I can only imagine how it feels to spend an entire day witnessing how many people want to stop fascism.

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

I will never not repost this masterpiece when it hits my feed

Sir, can I please have the MURDERS NOW ALLOWED permission slip?

i honestly think the level of energy these guys have about getting people to RSVP to a protest doesn’t make any kind of sense unless you take into account that most of the people saying “don’t RSVP“ are Black women and then you see they’re just dunking on Black women Then the energy makes sense

This is excellent, but as a white nerd who is also a woman, I have to add: Galadriel. The choice to NOT prioritise power. To diminish, and go into the west, and REMAIN GALADRIEL — to remain true to herself — it is the crux of the thing. And no accident that it is the path Frodo follows, in the end

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Oooph

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

OMG. My whole body stood to attention at ‘violence is a bed in which we wake up’. It gets even stronger from there… 🔥🙏

My grandmother once fed our dog from the table because he was begging and, when he continued begging, asked my mother why he was doing that, since "I gave him what he wanted!"

I can’t believe how bad this www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Sooooo much this. Progress has always relied on people being willing to advocate for change, and overcome opposition. It’s absolute upside-down thinking to suggest otherwise

“As National Socialism proposes to stay in power 2000 years…”

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

Adding again to this. If we apply even the most glancing of intergenerational justice lenses… 😬🫣💔 We need to step up, in intergenerational solidarity, with those for whom career paths that we took somewhat for granted are seriously precarious. Academia, yes; but creative, & critical careers… ✊✊✊

Adding to this: you are not just insisting on the value of YOUR labour (maybe you’re SORTED & you don’t feel the need for your labour to add value… <ahem>) But think of the young people entering your profession right now. Do they need wage increases that match inflation? Damn right they do! Etc. ✊

Please strike when it is MOST disruptive. Apparently a bunch of folks who should get it, don’t. Insist on the value of your labour. I know it is hard (!!!), but it is in all of our interests that you do. Please, godspeed, and thank you 🙏

This gets to something that as a former stand-up I recognized but couldn’t name. A 31 year old professional content creator baiting 19 year old amateurs into the format of his choice isn’t debate, it’s crowd work. It’s debate-shaped crowd work farmed for content.

Yes, research costs money 😬🤦‍♀️

Education is the enemy of fascism.

But surely you could equally well eliminate the risk by… drinking it? 🥂🤷‍♀️

It’s not only what Charlie would have wanted, it’s using tools Charlie provided

hot diggity dog, this is in the *sports section* of the Herald!? fuck yeah, Gregor Paul.
