Brianna Ghey wasn't killed because she was unsafe online. She was murdered because two of her classmates decided that it would be fun to murder a trans girl.

In Florida this is done in ln-house but no one will tell me by whom. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/brun...

Nosso artigo *Legacy effects of religion, politics and war on urban evolutionary biology*, recentemente publicado na NATURE CITIES, é tema de uma interessante peça de divulgação, em português, no site The Conversation Brasil‼️ theconversation.com/guerra-polit... @ecarlen.bsky.social

Since Jan 20, 2025, there have been 402 verified cases of scientific interference: funding rescinded, websites wiped, experts sidelined. This is a systematic dismantling of federal research. Are you with us in the fight to #StandUpForScience ? ➡️ zurl.co/Q0b5B zurl.co/1iHhd @ucs.org

I saw somebody on TikTok using the word 'slopper' as a slur for people who use ChatGPT, and that's a thing we should start doing.

Is someone who makes these types of signs for a living, this is chilling. Interpreters work very hard to help visitors connect with a place and often share difficult parts of our history. This is an amazing exhibit. I’m not surprised the current administration is afraid of it.

Healthy environment a human right, UN court says in landmark climate ruling

When my friends were reading and watching ‘Lessons in Chemistry’, I tried to convey that the misogyny of the sixties is still very much alive and well for many #WomenInStem. This article tells a sad, real tale that needs to be heard.

Huge news from the International Court of Justice in the Hague – the start of a new era of climate accountability The court confirms that states are obliged to act on the climate crisis, and that the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment is fundamental for all other human rights

EXCLUSIVE @science.org: In an unorthodox approach to needle-free vaccines, researchers have developed a special kind of floss that can protect against infectious disease. “The results are quite impressive.” Cool story by @annikainampudi.bsky.social

Ok which one of you jokers made this? And where can I find your shop? I need at least 5.

I was guaranteed by several leftist reply guys and some academics that this would never happen because the only problem is *greed.* Guess what, landlords have to become a lot less greedy if there's more competition for tenants.

"One thing that I’ve learned is that religious extremists who oppose trans rights and atheists who oppose trans rights share one major tactic: the misappropriation of biology." An excellent piece from @kavinsenapathy.bsky.social that criticizes the terrible views of Coyne, Pinker, et. al.

I'm tired of being told that AI improves efficiency. Efficiency isn't worth it if it's rapidly accelerating climate change, polluting local communities, riddling everything with errors, and literally making people stupider I will just go a little more slowly, thanks

Thanks ABA and @n8swick.bsky.social for this episode and the recommendation of @ryanfm.bsky.social book. I am loving this book and seeing NYC in a whole new light! (The Palisades and the breakup of Pangea! Oh my God. :))

Summer heat sucks, but seeing everyone in full bloom makes it worth it #meadows #wildflowers

I like that people enjoy this one. Feels nice sometimes to drop the pretense and let out my genuine wish that everyone achieve some sort of security and ability to appreciate and find joy in their idiosyncracies.

God i love street art. What the HELL does this mean i MUST know more

New Yorkers, please tell the state that the fracking pipeline is dangerous to our environment and especially the Hudson River! p2a.co/VRpoVb9

Lmfao there is no such thing as toxic empathy if “toxic empathy” is defined as making you want to support policies that don’t hurt people. Lord have mercy.

The top tip here — and this goes for a whole host of invasive pests — is: “do not move firewood.” 🪵 If you’re going camping, get firewood near the campground. Don’t bring firewood back with you when you go home. **Do Not Move Firewood** 🌎 🪳 🪲 edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto...

👇 We just got Copilot pushed on us with no warning and no training, just direction to read vague guidance and do no harm. Can we 3D print? No.

I’m always thinking about a deluxe version of DND bugs with more classes, and after a long time of chaos and intense work among shows I’ve finally got some time to finish it! Which one would you choose? 💚🐛🐞🐝🪲

Yet another reminder: Rufo came out of the anti-evolution Discovery Institute. His project is a direct attack on all of modernity, and on veracity itself.

This name change was done to villainize immigrants It used to have an Aztec name -- a Mexican name The change passed unanimously in the House www.khou.com/article/news...

you've heard about the college kids who can't do anything without ChatGPT's help—but what about the students who oppose generative A.I. for myriad reasons and refuse to rely on it as a shortcut? well, I found and spoke with a few of them here: slate.com/life/2025/07...

100000% this. If we valued life for its own sake these revelations might come to us sooner

all living things are logically equally important, just not in the same quantifiable way. the modern world needs earwigs even though I can't pull up numbers on how much profit farmers get from caring for earwigs. any suggestions like "xyz are the MOST important bugs" is just capitalism talking

Academics, please work with your university comms professionals who desperately want to portray your work accurately 🙏

Imagine being someone who would burn food that could feed millions of hungry children, simply because they disagree with the notion of foreign aid. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

My weird queer trans book of wolf poems drops later this month. I know everything sucks right now, I'm right there with you. I started these poems because I was furious at anti queer legislation aimed at youth. I help run a GSA--if you're an educator get involved w/ yours... consider buying my book

Today is international nonbinary peoples day, so I'm gonna share a bit about how I figured out that I'm nonbinary. To start, I didn't realize I was nonbinary until I was 35 years old. This was for a number of reasons, but one of the biggest was that I simply never had the words for it 1/8

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

“Even the term 'Artificial Intelligence' … is widely misused, with conceptual unclarity coopted to advance industry agendas and undermine scholarly discussions. It is our task to demystify and to challenge 'AI' in our teaching, research & engagement with society.” openletter.earth/open-letter-...

Gay birds baybe!

Even if AC was as energy-intensive as portrayed in a lot of this moralistic fear-mongering, you still have to reckon with the fact that heat is deadly and access to AC is one of the few effective ways to prevent heat-related deaths- so it's a line in the energy budget you can't simply cut.

I've got such great news

When using computer vision to identify organisms in a image, it helps to know what the model was trained on. To a shark ID AI, everything is a shark.

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

Yes, this is absolutely true. It's just some dumbass and occasionally a committee of dumbasses, all the way to the top. This is why people come up with conspiracy theories. It's actually terrifying to realize that it's actually this dumb and nobody smart or with a cohesive plan is in charge.

New SLF death squad commando just dropped

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
