Nothing to see here Just the NIH Director trashing, um, one of the world’s best respected journals, Science It makes sense really—power-hungry, power-consolidating autocrats love to criticize the media, it’s one of their favorite tactics

I imprinted SO HARD on this book and series when I was a teenager!

Do you remember the famous #Earthrise photo from #Apollo8? On Christmas Eve in 1968, William Anders turned his camera toward Earth and captured the legendary photo. It showed humans a new perspective, with the moon in the foreground and Earth floating in distant space. 🌎🚀🔭📸 buff.ly/s01u0Ww 📸 NASA.

Oh my god.

All of POP HEIST is open for the holidays! No pay walls, no limits, baby! Today and tomorrow! For a sampling of what we do, here's a list of the most-viewed articles of 2025 ...

Anti-abortion extremists will stop at nothing to ban abortion and block women from getting abortion pills. Their latest tactic? Hijacking environmental laws & claiming mifepristone is **poisoning the water.** It’s as crazy as it is dangerous.

At the same time, for the same reason, they seek out liberal. ideas to denigrate. Curiosity about the world, searching for the truth, a desire to inform the public: those things don't even occur to them. It's all just image-maintenance.

No hatred, no violence, no starvation, and no greed And no kings no kings no kings (an earworm, from me to you)

Moreover - it's OK to celebrate a Christian holiday! You don't have to believe in Jesus to have Christian cultural ties! It's only a problem when you insist that, since what you are doing is "secular" that means it should be inoffensive to force everyone to participate.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social all aboard!!

Say, "There's food for the table, and fuel for the fire, And good will for all, from the serf to the squire. Remember the Hogfather, welcome him in, And we promise the summer will come back again." Happy Hogswatch, everybody.

The tipping and tapping on top of the roof, The swish of a sleigh and the stomp of a hoof, As the squeals and the snorts echo out through the night We know that the Hogfather's started his flight.

I know I've recommended a LOT of podcast episodes this year, but this is now my favorite of the year. This @yourewrongabout.bsky.social episode is filled with listener postcards, with stories & sounds from around the world. Denmark, Florida, DC, England, & more. It's heartwarming, hopeful, & hopeful

corrupt and incompetent are not antonyms.

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

Digital files also corrupt, linkrot sets in because a server or page is not properly kept up, Gizmo gets lost amongst the server racks, licensing agreements sunset. Maintaining the effort would be as big, if not bigger, than effort itself. This would be a whole shebang larger than AI to effect.

Shout-out to all our Canada fam for the "60 Minutes" bootlegs.

Though we only recently learned that the FBI ignored an Epstein victim's complaint way back in 1996, we learned back in 2021 that the FBI ignored complaints about Nassar. Both could thus keep victimizing more girls. No wonder JE sounds amazed that they both got jailed. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

I love the fucking internet, part 972964386: "One Night In Bangkok" arranged and performed as a 16th century chanson. youtu.be/i3jHv0GZB9U?...

Once again, an amazing fantasy bundle by @aptshadow.bsky.social here. What a deal.

Art vs artist 2025. I have just one photo of myself from this year that I think is not entirely awful, so here it is. #artvsartist2025 #artvsartist

saw someone suggest I should add commentary, and this isn't what was meant, but my commentary is I believe the video depicts major laws being broken by the US federal government and that their attempt to bury the TV segment in favor of a government approved edit reveals awareness of their wrongdoing

Getting a lot more people on this list for sharing antisemitic lies about the Talmud over the past couple of days. Reminders: 1. The entire Talmud is public and freely available online. This Anyone claiming to know about "secret" or "hidden" Jewish teachings from it is lying to you.

Can I ask a favour? Life has been really tough lately due to terminal family illness and I just haven’t had the spoons for decent self promotion. Could you please give the “Little but Fierce” kickstarter prelaunch page a repost (and maybe a follow)? www.kickstarter.com/projects/dcb...

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.

I know everyone is dunking on #BariWeiss right now, but it is #Paramount CEO #DavidEllison who is her patron. Would love to see some blowback to this billionaire-handmaid to authoritarianism too.

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

this is of course correct. it's literally what TPUSA (and their "professor watchlist") has been doing for more than a decade.

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

Bill Clinton betting the most embarrassing government report on his sex life was already published.

The person who wrote a book entitled “How to Fight Anti-Semitism” is covering up for the creation of American concentration camps in El Salvador.

If you are feeling helpless and hopeless in the face of the CECOT report, I’d like to suggest donating to HIAS. It’s a Jewish organization that actively protects displaced people and fights for refugee rights everywhere including against the Trump regime. 🧵

How can you hurt them the most? Destroy their advertising revenue. How? Cancel subscriptions. Delete your data. Use data blocking browsers. Tell anyone who advertises with them that you will also be boycotting them. Want to know how? I’ve already made a thread for that. 👇

Streisand Effect baby

Except that we won’t. The social Darwinism and eugenics are a huge part of MAHA. After all, a key idea behind the antivax movement is that vaccine-preventable diseases can’t harm you if you’re healthy and that if you’re not healthy it’s your fault.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Adventure with your cat through the depths of the universe 🌌

Turning Point USA calls me and other teachers “radical” for teaching honest history. But here’s the truth: THEY are the indoctrinators. They don’t teach inquiry. They don’t teach evidence. 1/

My upcoming cover for Justice League Unlimited !

THIS. Certain stories get lots of coverage, run over and over again, others get 1 or 2 brushstrokes and are considered already "covered" (usually those are stories that center marginalized voices). It's a major way bias towards power and status quo narratives plays out in ALL mainstream newsrooms.

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.
