Hey everyone, need a recommendation. We’re covering this protest Sunday and want to talk to an expert on anti-trans hate groups and get a rundown on these speakers and the involved groups before the event. DM us here or reach out at [email protected]

Catalogue entries for more than 100 antibodies sold by the research services and supply company Thermo Fisher Scientific contain images that have apparently been manipulated, according to a pair of science sleuths. go.nature.com/4wX4yej

Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times. www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/l...

Nation's sports franchises mark Pride Month with the annual closing of the comment section www.thebeaverton.com/2026/06/nati...

I’m sorry but this analogy doesn’t even work. The Nazis didn’t storm the beaches, we did. They came by land.

In detention centers, in the streets, and on social media, the Trump administration is waging an aggressive campaign against those exposing its worst abuses, writes Jenna Ruddock. Tech companies have complied with the crack down on community ICE watching efforts.

I swap a lot of seeds+ starts w/ my neighbors. Last year a lady was giving away strawberry runners. She said she wasn't sure what variety they were. I watched the fruit come in this year and thought "Weird, they're not pinking up." Waited some more. Still white. Then I realized: they're pineberries.

What gets me is Woke War I is over, they won, and none of them seem any happier for it. Labour is a step away from nuking Scotland for gender nonconforming skirt-wearing. The right has infected US institutions so throughly it’ll take decades to untangle. The richest man on Earth funds the right!

Wrt news the new Tomb Raider employs AI. I hate to be THAT gal but....it at least seemed obvious to me?

of course they never cared about Pride, but the world in which they pretend to care is vastly better than the one in which they don't pretend and we are seeing it in real time we want the money to think there's more profit in being performatively woke than performatively bigoted

Fuck I'm missing a 2x2x10' piece for my project....I cant exactly fit one in my hatchback

Aw fuck

Dictionary so thick it creates new words

They need to invent a shower that doesn't only have hot and cold water but also "Sun screen" and "aloe gel" options

Going further, a reminder that large language models CAN'T CREATE NEW THINGS. Only repurpose absorbed data. Unless it managed to slurp up a preexisting Skynet GitHub no one noticed it is fundamentally impossible for it to improve itself.

'ooOOooh our AI systems are so good they're scary' is an advertisement designed to keep the hype up. it is entirely untrue. no large language model is any more conscious than a calculator, and they will never get any closer

Big if true

So I bought a house of Marley by speaker because it was the only one with aux input. Sounds amazing and looks neat but the drivers were just visible, easily damaged. For some reason they eschewed the idea of a speaker grill. CAD+3d printer to the rescue

Antony Starr speaks out against AI "'[AI] is coming no matter what' ... bla bla. Recent movies have proven that people want human stories. Not big ridiculous VFX-driven nonsense" "Ever tried to go to an Al movie premiere? The cast are horrible and they hate their human fans"

My son wouldn't let me see his instagram stories for several years but recently decided that, OK, I can see them. This is the sort of thing I had been missing.

I don't understand why we're acting like the screwworm is a new threat. Katie Miller married one ffs, he's been around for a while.

Given his decrepit rotted brain mush's inability to keep a thought stream: "Go Ninja Go Ninja We all like ninjas folks. The dumocrats don't like ninjas. They tried to ban turtles. I was, no, don't ban turtles. But Kamala wanted no turtles. Had she one, we wouldn't have any turtles. Just trans..

I ordered this and I encourage all of you who have $5 burning a hole in your pocket to do the same.

This was a city run pride event that was being boycotted by the actual pride organization (Grand River Pride) As those who are seen as subhuman, our experiences are ruled as inauthentic - and speaking about our lives and the discrimination we receive "disrespectful"

what do you call mass detainment camps that kill the people who stay in them

I've been outside working all day literally and I've accomplished putting 3 4x4s on the ground.

Imagine if the money they spent on doing this dumb shit was instead used to pay their MTG and D&D artists better! What a crazy world that would be

they got swansoned

"The bt speaker doesn't need an aux port because you can get cables that go from aux to USB-C" "No that's clearly a charging port and even if it weren't, to go from analog to usb-c requires an active ADC inline." The Best Buy rep then realized "aww fuck one of those people"

A good alternative could be blento.app. This allows the creation of a very simple website with drag and drop, it's open source, European and works on at-proto as Bluesky.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

This is cool! Sign up to count bikes & pedestrians & more at a specific location and time to assist in collecting a snapshot of micromobility users across Canada. My physical health is 👎 right now so I can't commit to a shift, but I've seen others around Halifax share their counts! Check it out!

Tried of the God of War franchise beating around the bush with it, when is Kratos going to fight Jesus Christ

She is just so,,,

NS spends less than 0.25% of the budget on libraries & museums. About half is for libraries If the political will existed, they could easily double the funding for public libraries and it would be less than a rounding error against the total budget while creating HUGE benefits to our communities.

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

Possibly we should have elected someone who knew something about the city before he ran for mayor?

Tieria's why I started estrogen. Happy pride.

Heartbreaking writing: "Trump is not a true fascist. Fascism requires allegiance to the state, which Trump lacks. The biggest threat to the US is not fascism but mafia state autocracy...controlled demolition by a billionaire criminal network, abetted by complicit actors within the US government."

Sous vide is funny because I'm doing what is generally considered fancy cuisine but in a Home Depot bucket

oh my goodness - Lieu played Rubio a video of Trump sleeping while Rubio tried to talk to him during a cabinet meeting. Then this exchange: RUBIO: I've never seen him fall asleep LIEU: I'm gonna show you a video that shows you just lied to Congress *plays another clip of Trump sleeping by Rubio*

Trailers (came in late): The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day Epilepsy alert: blaster flashes, lightning and flashes during the transformation scenes, flashing colours in the dimensional travel. I cannot believe that Jared Leto's campy Skeletor is... actually the best part of this somehow?

in tribute to a legend passing, here are some of my favorite, more obscure pieces of John Blanche art.

LUCKY DAY IS OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK. get it wherever books are sold and find love in the chaos us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

A reminder, as we enter into this difficult period for trans ppl in the UK that most of the work that actually makes a difference in the day to day lives of trans communities cannot be posted online. Just because people aren't shouting about what they're doing, doesn't mean they're doing nothing.
