The Democratic Party saw all those wins from earlier in the week and thought, "Now is the time to remind everyone who we truly are."

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Are you really shocked? Really? Is anyone? Come on.

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

I was at the pub where Watson and Crick celebrated in Cambridge last year, and today when I searched for my photo of the historical marker, I realized someone had slapped a picture of Rosalind Franklin onto it.

"The AI boom not only normalizes plagiarism, but it also entirely ignores the work it takes to produce great writing. The championing of generative AI devalues our ability to read and to think and to comprehend, to be moved by art, and to interact with and criticize it." @lithub.com.web.brid.gy

Looking forward to attending some @acesediting.bsky.social #VCON25 sessions today through Friday! At my last VCON I found the live-tweeting/comments sections distracting (and sometimes negative/critical), so I'm aiming to mute all of that and focus on the speakers this time. 🎯

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

🚨 UPDATE on the current COVID vaccine access situation in the US. Please note that this is based on state laws but different things may be happening on the ground, and some pharmacies are defaulting to federal guidelines instead of state laws.

Gotta say seeing governors competing to one up each other to see who can make vaccines most accessible is a refreshing change.
