GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to UNDETECTABLE levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Genuinely give AuDHD people basic income and housing, give them a bit to settle into their routines and recover from the trauma of survival, and then be ready to see shit pop the fuck off

Mr. President sir, the people want you to die.

basically the only thing they have accomplished is killing an 86 year old man before he could die of old age they have also *checks notes* murdered a bunch of kids, done significant damage to the world’s energy infrastructure, sent the world economy into the worst energy crisis since the 70s…

in three weeks they have fucked this up so comprehensively that returning to a facsimile of the previous status quo is now the goal

I mean, the thing that disgusts me most about all this recent shit is how the badness of ICE is causing many people to retcon the TSA as somehow noble defenders of our airports when they are all part of the same evil goon squad! Oh, those poor TSA agents not getting paid for groping and abusing ppl!

right like let us all remember: we never needed TSA to begin with

#savespeech #notodigitalID So I was initially skeptical at first, but it is in fact true: Reddit CEO might start looking into FaceID for Reddit accounts. Noble goals with poor execution. Nothing but control and surveillance x.com/tbpn/status/... Spread the word. Do not give them any more inches

I always smile when I remember this 900 year old Sam & Max fanart, carved into some old twelfth century church in england

Doch Demokratie verteidigt sich nicht von selbst. Wir sind gefordert, sie zu schützen, im Alltag, auf der Straße und im Netz. Also liken, teilen und ein Zeichen setzen.

CDU stimmt mit AfD und macht damit den Weg frei für Bürgerwehr-Strukturen in Hennigsdorf. Was als „Sicherheit“ verkauft wird, verschiebt politische Grenzen: Rechte Narrative werden übernommen, Zusammenarbeit wird normalisiert, die Brandmauer bröckelt weiter.

"Bunch of guys obsessed with Ancient Sparta can't beat the Persians at sea" was probably one of the known-knowns, come to think of it.

Yet another reason why KOSA (and its ilk) are inherently queerphobic laws and anyone who supports them - from either party! - needs to be run out of office yesterday.

"You're still responsible for the evil you do even when the state mandates its existence" applies to systemd pull requests, and it applies to the blue-gloved crotch touchers

Reminder that just because ICE is worse does not exonerate the TSA; every TSA employee directly interacting with the public is guilty of thousands of sexual assaults

Longevity research is pursuit of post-scarcity of the most precious resource of all: time

To me this is like a 5 alarm - we're in openly fascist times and they're going to these online spaces where we inform and organize and making a registry out of us. So many folks are like "Well my info's out there anyway..." but there can't be a good reason they want us to walk into this one so bad.

Yep. The “my info is out there anyway” people need to shut up and sit down because A) that’s not the case for everyone and we don’t deserve to go down with the unbothered and B) every point of friction in a system designed for exploitation and abuse is tactically CRITICAL to hold onto

(and about a law that's straightforwardly and obviously unconstitutional compelled speech at that)

Now, in the face of emerging fascism when resistance is far more necessary, this unspeakably sycophantic "but it's a law, what can you do?" mentality has metastasized everywhere. We are *fucked*, people

A quarter of a century ago the free software movement had spark and will to resist and knew the thing to do about ITAR was export PGP as a stack of books and the thing to do about an illegal number was make t-shirts

I was a sex worker during the alito crackdown years, this “protecting women and children” shit from conservatives is literally always a lie. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the playbook. They just want to surveil you and erase “indecent people” (with the power to decide what that means), full stop

you kinda have to have brain worms in the first place to accept any notion that people who aren’t bothered enough to do anything about an open pedophile ring involving the president and keep trying to legalize child marriage in various states suddenly care about protecting children

gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacma... "compliance" has anyone told them about Phil Zimmerman?

As expected, there's no real path to wind up using this enforcement mechanism.

There's a rundown of who does what here: agelesslinux.org/distros.html

I see so many people responding to longevity stuff about how we all have to die someday And sure, yeah, eventually something will kill you, even if just an accident But more time would be great, especially more youthful and healthy time

i still feel like the dot com boom is a good analogy for what's going on with ai rn. people might not remember or weren't around for it, but there were tons of pointless or bad business ideas people made websites for that largely failed but that didn't mean the internet as a concept was a fad.

I (trans) have been shouted down, invasively frisked, and “randomly selected” for enhanced screening so many times by TSA I used to get anxiety attacks on line, something they instantly latch onto to justify more harassment. My butch ethnically ambiguous wife gets it just as bad.

You don't have to defend TSA agents to make the case that ICE running airport security would be a disaster, those people are still total assholes and it's undignified & kinda garbage that we have to put up with their bullshit every time we fly

And you need to keep track of things like this. Otherwise it feels like the culture is lost, and there's no way to counter the endless tide. Well, there is. The beast is not invulnerable.

It proved they are incapable of doing anything except edgelordism. They can tear down, but they cannot *build* . I feel like this will be seen as the cultural equivalent of the 'high water mark of the Confederacy'

Kirk was not supposed to be Horst Wessel. He was supposed to be MLK, JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Cesar Chavez (before the last couple days that is), Helen Keller, you have it. And it just epically bombed. The widely shared meme of Kirk and Epstein doing a conga line dance sums up how it became fodder

the kind of person who would be taught in elementary school was a martyr for American freedom. It was an total, unambiguous defeat. The single most devastating memetic loss they suffered in ten years.

but you need sincerity to build a lasting movement. not winking faux-sincerity, but something that can be taken at face value and seen as a lasting and meaningful moment of emotion. Charlie Kirk was their first and only attempt at this. They wanted to build Kirk as a sort of MLK Jr-esque figure

edgelordism has been the tool of the trade, because -- again -- being an edgelord is easy. being sincere about something opens you up to being 'cringe'. it is an attack surface, an enlarged radar cross-section.

Since 2015, most of the MAGA meme machine has been overwhelmingly about the avoidance of sincerity. It is transgression for transgression's sake, and its also much easier to cut something down than build it up. Even their veneration of Trump is largely of a smirking gangster

I think it is really important for us to understand just how big of a defeat the We Are All Charlie Kirk thing was, because I don't feel like there has been much writing about the larger meaning of it

there is a difference between "you have to accept ai isn't going away" and "you have to accept this random shitty app a stupid tech company rolled out to satisfy shareholders". the latter will probably fail as a product, the former is more about the concept of automation having longterm utility.

"You can't change your sex" Maybe YOU can't, but that sounds like a skill issue to me.

finally seeing rapid deployment of renewable energy is giving me hope we will, maybe in the next decade, finally stop climate change (present tense). however, we still need to adapt to the devastating impacts of climate change (past tense). the earth is permanently warmer with more intense weather.

I wonder how many of Bluesky's compliance fans would support the Clipper chip if that happened today

No, it's not real. 1. All of those other than Horizon Worlds are still running for now, but they're buggy ghost towns. 2. Horizon Worlds never sold virtual land. Buying a beachfront villa in it was never a thing. They tried to do a virtual item economy, not a virtual land scarcity economy.

Is this real? I doubt it, but maybe there are people that stupid.

Read this if you need a laugh.

Ahh, just found out one of my favorite Youtubers, Geowizard, is a Reform support who believes the UK has too many immigrants. He thinks immigrants will destroy the English culture he loves so dearly. Cool. Cool.
