The question "What do 2 and 7 have in common?" on autism tests is extremely interesting in the responses, and relates to differences in reasoning. I will discuss these in this thread, but think about it for a second.

What an embarrassment

Junior pen testing role with the azure red team. You’d be very busy.

Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

"National polls show Democrats making enormous gains among Hispanic voters..." Gosh, nobody could have predicted that Trump's gains with nonwhites would prove temporary and highly contingent, and didn't actually reflect a deep, seismic cultural shift toward Trumpism www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/u...

Yes, it's a lie to frame the resistance movement against ICE as violent; now, let's examine that assumption that a bunch of Nazi goons brutalizing and murdering and kidnapping our neighbors deserve or should expect a peaceful resistance from a free people.

Pritzker is willing to lose an NFL team to a neighboring state rather than give taxpayer money to a billionaire team owner, in a year when he’s on the ballot? Do i have that right? Because if so…great stuff

This is because everything being shit makes people feel there is scarcity, so are more likely to agree with people who say you need to look after your own as there is not enough to share. So keeping everything shit increases their power. It is not an either or for them, it is a win win.

But people keep saying: Is that all there is? Is masculinity just being a certain kind of decent person plus superficial trappings like facial hair. Yes, that's it. If that interests you, go for it! If not, there are so many other options.

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I am sure of two things: 1. they will tell the game 3 crowd not to boo trump 2. the crowd has been waiting for decades and will do whatever the fuck it wants new york city, for one night and one night only this massachusetts native is prepared to hand it to you do what you were made to do

The Planetary Society built an interactive side-by-side "track changes" comparison for the proposed OMB rules. They show exactly what the current rules say versus what the proposed rules would change, section by section, across all *399* affected provisions. dashboards.planetary.org/rules-change/ 🧪🔭

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.

Oh it's OK, we had hyperconcentration of income and wealth in the top .1% in the 1920s too and that economy never stopped roaring.

Zohran has the mandate of heaven. Idk what other conclusion you're supposed to take.

"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse" www.businessinsider.com/worker-got-r...

As @gregpak.net pointed out, this man is one of the most destructive in this admin with worldwide & longterm ramifications. I also want people to stop acting like he's just "stupid" or doing things for no reason. His reason is eugenics & wellness grifts.

I, however, AM calling for an "A.i." ban. Dangerous, destructive technology that doesn't belong in schools.

Reframe the question and it becomes very clear. If you hire a manager to run your estate can that manager burn down the buildings on your estate or chop it and sell it off in parcels? Pretty obviously not. The president doesn't own the country. He's hired to administer it for four years.

I remember being a kid and being told over and over that if you get lost or separated from your family, look for a man on his own to help you. Oh wait no, it was a woman with kids, always, every time, by every adult figure.

I’m at the Newsroom in Milwaukee, where I have ordered “something whiskey sour-ish,” as I always do, and where I have also been delighted by this thing stuck on a post

Ok, this is interesting....

I have the opportunity to knit up a sample for @lavenderfiberco.bsky.social and these gorgeous skeins arrived today! This is the Vixen colorway and I'm absolutely in love. I'll definitely have to get some to use myself soon #Yarn 🧶 #Knitting #IndieDyers #HandDyedYarn

A “leftist” with a Nazi tattoo who worked for blackwater and made rape-victim-blaming posts on Reddit Not only is he not the candidate you want him to be, but holding him up as a leftist is going to backfire on everyone to the left of the Democratic Party. Because he fucking sucks as a human being

Read this forbidden fruit--the editorial that got the Past President of the American Diabetes Association kicked out of the organizations meeting with a police escort 🧪

I'm still tripping over this. Can't believe this isn't a Chotiner joint(tm). Also, the amazing work that "top university" is doing... www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

My brave colleagues were removed from the conference I’m attending. For passing out copies of an editorial in an ADA journal. 🧪 www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Mohamad Sofa, a representative at UNECOSOC, writes on Twitter “The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.” I am going to repeat these words wherever people might listen.

Paul's gonna bundle the replies, summarize them, and send the whole thing to the WH.

Here are the top 5 dogs of the week!

Honestly we've really needed to PNG some of these folks on the left and it's about damn time we start. Way too many dems think CNN are honest brokers.

IMO, senior faculty at top R1 institutions rushing to use AI to flood journals with papers before future students or early career researchers can have an opportunity is not just greedy, it's salting the earth of the discipline.

this is how to livepost it

I can see some areas where improvement might be required…

First up - phew, everyone back on station, Russian’s holding off repair plan for today. Secondly - sorry for posted that all highlighted 😳. Was rushing and copied all the text to add to alt-text and didn’t realise I’d not removed highlight when I screengrabbed.

This new proposed OMB rule will affect all kinds of science, not just NIH. That's why I had a chat with Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at the Planetary Society this week. Listen to our conversation at the link below. @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/planetary-ra...

credit where credit is due, getting your cult addicted to tallow before importing screwworms is a good bit

Everyone defending Platner's abuses with 'what, what's the big deal ooo he just grabbed her shoulders, locked her in a room to calm down, like you'd do with a child, c'mon it's no big deal' is telling you who they are, and that they are unsafe. Believe them.

Pretty much the last place in the universe I'd expect to find planets is in the incredibly violent and radiation-laden accretion disks around supermassive black holes. And yet… maybe? ⚫ 🌎 www.scientificamerican.com/article/plan... [thanks to @saavikford.bsky.social for a convo about this] 🧪 🔭

Hi friendos and enemios! Looking for someone who knows about the spectroscopy of outer Solar System bodies (KBOs and icy moons). Izzat you? Please share and thanks in advance! 🧪🔭

In 2019, Platner participated in a reddit thread about the Totenkopf symbol and how it related to other popular military iconography, like Punisher skulls:

getting ready to fight the robots

The dirty secret about non-defense spending is that there's not a whole lot that's not actually valuable. And when something's actually straight up wasteful, it's often because it was specifically funded by Congress.

Hayes didn't push on the DV issues. He just read the NYT graf to platner and said, "Did this happen" and Platner said no, and Hayes didn't ask any probing follow-up questions like "do you have any idea what she might be talking about with regard to bedroom imprisonment incident?"

Get to know @andrealaflamme.bsky.social, the only true progressive on the ballot.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

6 years ago, we came together to avoid protect ourselves and neighbors from a deadly virus. Today, instead of honoring our collective action & sacrifice, the revisionist historians behind the COVID Amnesia Project blame us for the lack of normalcy in 2020. I remember what they want us to forget.
