Experts found that the White House budget request for the upcoming fiscal year could defund 54 NASA science missions, including a spacecraft currently studying Jupiter and two planned Venus missions: www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

Happy Nefertari Vivi day to all who celebrate

Yes, katanas exist to satisfy a podcaster mindset.

There are two weeks until my election, and AIPAC has spent $150,000 to create the worst attack out against me I have ever seen. Let’s watch it:

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

If he runs, I very much wish him Andrew Cuomo's fate.

I'm about to lose my right to vote if the SAVE Act passes. This country already doesn't want disabled people to vote if we struggle to leave our houses.

There's a reason I had the word "hea" blocked on The Old Site

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

There are very few Democrats that I will not vote for: I voted for and ENDORSED Kamala Harris, for instance, in the last election. Gavin Newsom is one of them. His election would be an active threat to transgender people, and I lay out the case in my piece.

At every stage of his career, Gavin Newsom has stepped on, vilified, or pushed away Californians on the margins and that wouldn't change if he gets more power. He's a power grubbing grifter who will step on anyone to get what he wants and him dunking on Trump on twitter doesn't change that.

If you happen to be in Seattle and craving Puerto Rican food for some reason, Sabor Boricua's food is delicious and the crew are delightful. share.google/BhTGVhBgwnce...

As others have said, Bad Bunny's halftime performance highlighted the horrible electricity situation in Puerto Rico. For many, blackouts are a weekly occurrence and the situation has only gotten worse in the last few years. Earlier this week, there were about 130,000 customers without power.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure the secret to the Seahawks success is the adrenaline rush from seeing the sun for the first time in 4 months.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

oh that Ring ad is diabolical

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Don't love Ring acting like it's a great boon to animal lovers that they can use automatic identity matching to surveil entire neighborhoods. Do they really think we're too stupid to realize there are applications beyond finding lost puppies?

Puerto Ricans dancing on electrical poles is about as big a political statement you could make at a Super Bowl halftime show. The only way that could have been more explicit is if Bad Bunny started tossing rolls of paper towels to the dancers

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

TIL my state legislation one super easy to use hotline. I called one number and a friendly lady took my address, name, the numbers of the bills I wanted to talk about, and a short message, then sent it to all of my reps. This is so much less of a pain than federal calls. Thanks, Washington!

As someone who (very reluctantly) ended up moving farther left because I care about people, it was deeply frustrating to get here and find how many leftists don't have love in their political ideology. It's not the majority or anything, but the loud ones are exhausting.

I've been a bit injured to draw lately but Christmas was the go ahead I got from the doc to draw and it still is a little tender but here is a holiday croc to wish y'all a happy holiday!

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.

This is disappointing. The shop's cute and I was really looking forward to buying more stuff there, but uh, not anymore. Secret Garden Books is just down the street, their romance selection isn't bad, and they can order anything they don't have in stock.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

if you cannot win an election over 3 years away against the most loathsome people in the US while they are doing things like *kidnapping the fucking ice cream man off the street in broad daylight* without a ritual sacrifice of at-risk people, you are not the future of humanity. dream bigger, better.

In 20 minutes , I'll either completely forget this happened or I will take back everything bad I ever said about the ending of Birdaman

Important note: Finding Mr. Christmas isn't a movie. No. It is a batshit reality show about finding a star FOR a Hallmark movie. A roller coaster that STARTS a hot firefighter said that he wants to be in a Hallmark movie so he can have a job that matters, then flubbing every line.

Everywhere I've called has seemed very done with this issue. Except PayPal. Paypal guy had no idea what was going on, which tells me more of us should be calling paypal.

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

The Trump administration is telling you loudly and clearly that their plan is not to raise your standard of living but to keep enriching the rich, disappear the immigrants, & push your standard of living down to what ours is now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

SINNERS is on Max. DO NOT allow the credits to squeeze down. There’s more to the story.

If you ever want to spark a conversation with Grant's family, just ask them about trying to fill out race forms accurately. And by "conversation" I mean absolute dogpile on forms that seem to think people can only be one race. If anything, this makes Mamdani more relatable.

Hearing a lot of reports of people getting busy signals / hang ups A) This is most likely a result of high call volumes, which is good! B) Try a local office! They count the same as DC calls. Those numbers are also listed on 5calls.org (iOS: click the 3 dots by DC #, Android: click "local office")

imagine writing this completely uncritically as if it’s a normal thing for a government official to say

A good night to remind people if you're tongue-tied over calling your reps (*raises hand*) you can type out a script for yourself with everything you want to say (including your name etc) and read it word for word into their voicemail. That way you don't forget anything!

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.
