tfw you’ve summed up your whole writing career and then attributed it to “left wing discourse on A.I.”

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss? Anton Chigurh here for FanDuel,

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

as someone who tries to work in these spaces outside my work.. this is such a brutal, elegant gutpunch of reality. (try fighting with San Franciscans on efforts to open even the most modest Safe Injection Site!)

Imagine a world where a University admin makes a clear policy that attacking profs and making stupid LibsofTikTok videos get you automatically expelled, transcripts deleted, banned from campus, no appeal, immediately enforced. You don’t have to accommodate the most disingenuous trolls!

just uh.. wondering why the Orioles owner was yukking it up at the christmas adventurers’ celebration of Robert E Lee.. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”

i miss this time in my life… i miss what SF used to be.. but still hopeful we can tap into our shared humanity and keep creating beautiful original things (the original version of this song is also)

Spotted on walk:

wha on earth…

Ok Baltimore Orioles, your turn. The E-lite Giants or Black Sox, either would be badass, plus INVESTING IN THIS BLACK-AS-HELL CITY

This is an excellent summary of the state of US science in 2026. If there ever is an “ after this”, there should be a serious reexamination of how big science in the US is organized, but totally blowing it up was not the answer.

the dingdong dealing with the existential dread of school cancelled through Wednesday now…

The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...

step on the gas- they’re not only weak, they’re wrong. no negotiations only demands

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

Just going to signal boost this too since it’s a cause close to my heart and I’ve been going every eight weeks for 12 years now.. for personal reasons my three big causes are feeding people (we always need help at St Vincent’s!), recovery and blood donation ❤️ stay safe Bmore

So still it must be said the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

they’re literally trying to kill everything pretty and good by killing Pretti and Good. and they can still do a lot of damage. but they will never win. and their names will come out and be published someday soon too

When you've got the libertarian drug chemists calling you a lying fascist murderer in public, you done fuckered up.

He was trying to help someone else they'd knocked to the ground. And for that they started pepper spraying him. And then the pistol whipped him and murdered him. He was a nurse. Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

100% and the winning (and correct!) line here is ACCOUNTABILITY. there’s no freedom for anyone in this entirely feral lawless state. there can be no moving on to freedom until every single complicit and guilty party is brought to light

Public trust in science and technology is a serious, growing problem, especially now. Instead of trying to solve it with better communication, we should adopt a more inclusive approach to innovation that takes low-tech, incremental, and system-wide solutions seriously. My new piece @science.org 👇🏽🧵

I actually wrote something for a change: a look at how the US scientific community is trying to push back on Trump policy changes they oppose. | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

took 80 years to build on the brilliant backs of so many people.. wrecked in a year by the most stupid venal man

This is so grim. Science isn’t just something nerds do, but the foundation of the modern world. What the Trump regime has done to US science will harm Americans for generations.

On #MLKDay, the UFW remembers the legacy of a hero. #MLK's words are as powerful today as when he wrote them in 1958. "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it."

Growing up among the 2nd biggest settlement of Hmong, Cambodian and Vietnamese in Fresno (for what WE did in Vietnam!) this makes me absolutely incandescent. The minimum bar for any Dem is a promise to publish every ICE officers name, face and details of everything they did in every paper

"[N]eed to bolster mutual aid networks, ramp up grassroots organizing, and adapt to create a harm reduction infrastructure that allows services to seamlessly transition underground if necessary." "The movement must become louder. It must become larger." #Maryland #USA #MutualAid #Drugs

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

hooooo boy- double up here and clovis lakes for an afternoon?? pure central valley childhood bliss baybeeee miss early 80s Fresno… ❤️

this piece is VERY good

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.

x100000

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

The USA is currently at war with its neighbours, its long-standing allies, its own citizens and also the values it was theoretically founded on.

truly the lowest and most despicable cowards this country has ever produced

second only to when IT happens
