Shutting down the war on cancer. “New presidential administrations have usually gone out of their way to make transitions at the NIH as seamless as possible so as not to disrupt ongoing research…” Right. That’s not what is happening now. Must-read article. 🧪

Half of the bios I see say: "sunkissed [profession] by day, [hobby that can't be done in florida or at night] by night, looking for my partner in adventure" and they are as white as me. A good 30% say "I'll fill this out later" or "just ask" and I dont know which is worse but they're all nos from me

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

Thank you to @brookegladstone.bsky.social and @onthemedia.bsky.social for having me on. It was an honor and a pleasure to discuss @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social film about 37 minutes in. bit.ly/3Vpc8xd

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Trump posts on Truth Social that he’s ordered another strike on what he claims is a drug trafficking boat. He’s presented no evidence that his victims in the three previous strikes were running drugs. Drug trafficking is also not a capital crime. Trump is murdering people in international waters.

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Editor friends! I'll be in NYC and have an open time for lunch Thursday if anyone wants to meet!

Everyone stay calm! I just found out my crush will be at the gay sports picnic tomorrow! Don't panic!

Men on dating apps really hate women and I for one am glad theyre letting me know in the literally only thing on their profile

THE LAST DRAGON HOUSE is an Indies Introduce pick! I've been an indie bookseller myself for six years, and though most of my professional life is now devoted to writing, I still consider the bookselling world a home. So I could not be more thrilled or honored, truly. www.bookweb.org/indies-intro...

A MAN at the gym got done with his machine, dug his paper towel out of the cup holder, poured water from the bottle he'd been drinking out of, and WIPED DOWN THE MACHINE WITH HIS SPIT WATER. This is why I clean every machine before. Y'all are so nasty.

Everytime someone tries to impress my by saying he or someone else "can bench press xxx lbs"... Baby I dont know what that means. Is it good? Actually, I don't care--how much can you hip thrust?

The current occupant of the Oval Office is threatening to wage war against an American city because he doesn’t want us talking about the economy he’s crashing or the Epstein files he’s in.

I’m Regina Brooks, President of the Association of American Literary Agents and CEO of Serendipity Literary Agency. I am so excited to invite you to the very first People of Publishing Conference (peopleofpublishing.bsky.social), happening Sept 17th at the New York Academy of Medicine in NYC.

"It is past time for both Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer to step down and step aside. This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition... we all deserve better." I make the case, in my latest for The Guardian, for new leadership:

40% of Missourians vote for Democrats, and this is the Congressional map the Republicans are pushing for.

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.

On February 3, 2010, argentine president Cristina Kirchner fired the head of the central bank, setting off a 15 year spiral of inflation that would eventually peak last year at 220%. Let's say, on that day, you bought lunch for $20 argentine pesos. Today, that same lunch would cost you $4,156 pesos

Not to be dramatic but if your truck literally cannot fit in a standard parking spot, you should have to have an additional license for it and that license should be very expensive with all revenue going to road maintenance

Library privatization vultures LS&S took over King Williams's library (VA) after complaints over available materials in the public library. The library left their consortium and now, it doesn't even have books being studied in the local schools. ABSOLUTELY PREDICTABLE OUTCOME. archive.ph/h1alU

It's important to know about things that happened before you developed consciousness. If you have never been aware of a world without birth control access, gay marriage, women w/ bank accounts, etc, listen when elders speak. Shouting them down with "that's not how it is now" is a oneway ticket back

I think often about the Florida guy on a dating app who said his hobby was looking up houses in San Francisco and dreaming one day he could make enough money to afford them. Then I scrolled down and what did my eyes perceive? "Very conservative" I'm still confused

“It’s a complete knockout. There’s not a single issue that the court did not side with the plaintiffs on.” www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/13/j...

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.
