I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Yesterday, President Trump tried to justify the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by saying "things happen." Today, Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that condemned his murder. The Republican party's refusal to stand up for a free & fair press endangers journalists worldwide.

Okay I resisted the pull, but these crazy Mormons (ish) are my sirens. Just finished the first episode of season three and I hate Layla, don’t trust Mikayla and by association Maci, and am rooting the most for Jen and Taylor. It’s good the two people with the least screen time are the best, right?

Sudanese researcher Lina Yassin explains the roots of the genocide in Sudan. “The UAE has been using the RSF militia to illegally smuggle gold out to finance the war and finance their own gold reserves.”

It is both true that sexual violence is very dreadfully common AND that only a select group of people get to be victims with voices worth listening to.

Unsure if I posted about her before but I love these videos . #feminist #feminist #MonstrousFeminine #GirlOnFilm youtu.be/tJ-xJYAbZCM?...

These are not serious people.

I fucked up at work and the problems started stacking and I really owe my coworkers

I would also like to excluded 20’s hoe stage community because we had some standards!

on behalf of the Daddy Issues Community, I’d like to request that we’re excluded from this narrative. that lady got some other stuff going on

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a “get” in the eyes of Dems because it legitimizes their absurd notion that they can pull from the right, which is all Democrats have been concerned with since they decided that Labor was no longer worth pursuing

Whyyyy won’t my company invest in a proper versioning system? Please, tortoise, GitHub, anything!!! And while we’re at it, I need a proper text editor #Posit #sas #statisticalprogramming #texteditor #versioning

you cannot be on here abbreviating a person's name to MTG, you know that already means something else

"$100k in credit card debt" is itself absolutely fucking crazy to me as someone who regularly represented poor people getting sued for like $600

if you're in line to kill God, stay in line!

Epstein survivors just demanded the release of the files in this new PSA. Watch it here.

A better world is possible

In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin. There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. / My latest story for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/wisc...

Je confirme ✨️💫 ✨️

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

-adult becomes a loving parent to their strangely acquired child -friendship is actually all you need (girls rule, boys drool) -it’s okay that she’s a murderer bc I love her -young adults must die bc the future is scary -teens must odyssey (bonus points if it’s for accessible health care)

Occupy "failed," in that it was put down (sometimes brutally) and in that it furthered some activism approaches (like non-hierarchical concensus) that I think have generally proved ineffective. It succeeded in massively reshaping how Americans talk about inequality and seeding further battles

“Go On, Move Your Body” is the lead single from Glen Rose, TX-raised singer-songwriter Jana Horn’s self-titled LP (out 1/16 via No Quarter) and it’s one of our favorite new tracks of the week. See the countdown: stereogum.com/2479744/the-...

Part of me is glad the Epstein shit is so viral so it doesn’t go away, but I also am wary of it becoming to meme-ified and jokey the way that the Cassie v Diddy and Heard v Depp trials, which both I think turned out to hurt the women’s case #heardVDepp #Epstein #MeToo #CassievDiddy

This was so fun. But thanks to @mattlieb.bsky.social and @vincemancini.bsky.social for having me on the show to talk about Mad Men. The only thing I forgot to plug was the Clickhole Oral History of Mad Men, which is a cornerstone of things I find incredibly hilarious

You want my money? You’re the ones that have all of the food

I think it’s cool when the grocery store asks you to donate to the food bank but also locks its dumpsters. It just makes sense

NEW: "Wicked: For Good" is a potent fascism allegory that speaks in the language of one of America's most successfully enduring pieces of mass culture. I interviewed Oscar winning costume designer Paul Tazewell about designing aesthetics of freedom for @thecut.com.

This is a terrific talk by Jon Ablett on the Linnean Society's shell collection, replete with a delightfully rude account of sequential hermaphroditism in Crepidula fornicata involving cheap sperm and Roman prostitutes (there are pseudopenises too!). Well worth watching . . . 🌈🐚 #queer #sex #nature

Look if you're trans, you have to live. Do whatever you need to do to make it.

Tv shows give me the ick when they have one (1) young black character, usually a girl, and her hair is FUCKED. How are we in this year of our lord of 2025 and there are plot lines acknowledging their blackness and no one on set can do their hair.
