Hunter Bell did what to her mate????

Proud to announce the project I've been working on 🏳️‍⚧️🧬 Had hoped to have more ready, but the events of the last week stressed the importance of speaking up against fascism NOW I'd appreciate your support in spreading the word, esp if you work in life sciences research, healthcare, or biotech

Diane Warren, the writer of Faith of the Heart, dngaf what your thoughts are on the #startrek Enterprise theme.

Say what you want about the #StarTrek Enterprise theme song, but it was written by Diane Warren, one of the most prolific and successful songwriters ever, with a catalogue worth half a billion dollars. She also has autism and, in fact, credits it with her success and songwriting ability. Just sayin.

If you’d like to unpack all the lies being told to the public right now, here’s your fact valet — Acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism&pregnant people w/fever or pain need it. Leucovorin isn’t an autism treatment& the reason they’re trying to sell you that is explained in the attached thread& posts

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly is the power Sinclair and Nextar have over the Kimmel situation? Is the idea that because they own most of the stations, they can still choose to not air Kimmel and cause Disney to miss out on all that potential ad revenue?

Grammarly has jumped the shark and wants to edit my words to follow some AI-driven movement toward a Fahrenheit 451 future. The enshittification of their AI model is leading me to cancel my paid subscription.

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

An article about at PWS last week about how fishy this whole thing is www.piratewireservices.com/p/us-claims-...

Trump is ordering the military to engage in extrajudicial executions of civilians for unclear and unproven reasons to test the waters, as it were, of what he can get away with. He is already deploying the military to US cities so don’t think he won’t start extrajudicial executions here as well.

I think I was the only person at Riot Fest today dressed in COLORS — I know this is not the right uniform for riot fest but since Condé Nast killed Pitchfork Fest, I need somewhere to wear the cute rainbow mesh top I made.

You know what is loser behavior? Creating an elaborate hoax in order to film yourself falsely accusing Starbucks workers of calling you a loser for ordering a drink in Charlie Kirk’s memory only to be immediately caught in the lie by the store’s security footage. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/v...

What do you get if you cross TNG's “Darmok” with “Enemy Mine” and a He-Man villain named after the titular building in Only Murders in the Building? You get the #StarTrekENT episode "Dawn," which Bill explains to us in this week's episode of EnterpriseSplaining.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Reminder that RFK’s COVID vaccine committee is meeting tomorrow and may restrict access to COVID vaccines even more. So, if you have been putting off getting the new COVID vaccine, try to go today or tomorrow morning just in case!

I can’t podcast edit in these conditions

if you haven’t played Disco Elysium you simply have to trust me that this is a perfect post

If you haven't gotten your updated COVID vaccine by now, book an appointment fast before next week's ACIP meeting. After that, you might not be able to get one. I plan on getting mine this weekend if I possibly can. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

I’ve been writing for two decades about how antivaxxers misuse and abuse VAERS to blame vaccines for complications they do not cause. Anyone who’s been paying attention to the antivax movement expected that. RFK Jr. would do this. Next it’ll be autism.

MAHA is now claiming that covid vaccines caused 25 children’s deaths. They get this stat from the VAERS database, where all adverse effects that occur in the days after a vaccination are reported regardless of whether they were actually caused by the vaccine.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

Why is my own podcast dragging me?

I’ll watch The A-Team but I put my foot down on Highlander

Why is my own podcast dragging me?

We have a special bonus episode of EnterpriseSplaining today where my cohosts bullied me into watching Quantum Leap and I have THOUGHTS on it.

Someone in the National Guard’s PR office accidentally (or “accidentally”?) emailed internal documents about how demoralized their troops are to the WaPo.

this case was devised in a lab to reveal the hypocrisy of both the “free speech on campus” and the “cancel culture” grifters simultaneously

I don't think cis people understand how it feels to be a trans person reading this They want to deny I even exist. It's a step in genocide

This is exactly what I mean when I say that equating anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian sentiment with antisemitism is not only just flat out wrong, but it puts us Jews at risk by muddying the waters so much that it makes it harder to identify and stamp out actual antisemitism.

And the pro-Israeli survey analysts really tell on themselves here: the same people who are anti-genocide also bear witness to rising rates of real antisemitism. This moral objectivity DEFIES ZIONIST COMPREHENSION

They know. But they’ll endanger Jewish safety by trivializing and weaponizing the charge to protect Israel. And erode everyone’s civil liberties too.

What’s particularly concerning here is that this isn’t about whether or not ICE is using racial targeting. In court the Trump Administration has flat out said they are racially targeting and asked the courts to allow them to continue doing so. (gift link) wapo.st/41IZKeF

Perhaps I was naïve, but I never thought I would see the President of the United States straight up declaring war on the city I live in. On me and my neighbors.

I just witnessed Chicago PD arresting one man who appears to be mentally ill — they sent nine police vehicles and at least 16 officers to arrest this one man, who didn’t seem to be hurting anyone or causing any problems and was yelling “help!” As they held him.

Aviva meal #3 at DragonCon! (I unfortunately missed an entire Aviva lunch yesterday because the parade route was between me and Aviva)

I had to see this photo at the Monstererotica Biology panel, and now you have to too. It will either haunt your dreams or make them very sexy. Guess you’ll find out which tonight! #dragoncon

Just a normal day at the DragonCon Science Track @dconscitrack.bsky.social
