I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

"The fuck did you just say???" is ALWAYS an option. Not always smart, but it's ALWAYS an option.

For the first time ever, I had to make a payment in crypto.

I can now confidently say that crypto payments combine the speed of a dial up modem and the ease of updating the drivers on a 1998 HP Laserjet printer.

So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?

Oh hey, I found the war on christmas

I’ve spent the last hour reading hundreds of posts from long COVID support groups.

I can’t tell you how upsetting it is to read the suffering.

Trigger warning.⚠️

Several posts talk of a feeling of fading away… into death…

and we have recently lost several wonderful long COVID advocates…

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation.

The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate.

The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia.

Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer.

im beginning to think it was a mistake to stake our entire economy on chatbots and fake internet money

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.

The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

with all due respect

Who could have seen this coming. I mean, besides literally everyone…

The Trump admin is killing a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cashfor significant travel disruptions within carriers' control.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Alice Wong, disability activist and luminary, dies at 51 - The Sick Times Alice Wong platformed and uplifted people with Long COVID in her final chapter as a lifelong disability advocate and storyteller.

"Alice supported and took many people with Long COVID under her wing — I was honored to call her a colleague and friend."

I agree that people who want to gamble should be forced to physically marinate in cigarette smoke and a lingering ambience of body odor and shame to do so

A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

Omg I just woke up and opened this app and this was the first thing I saw

What an immense loss

I already regret my decision to click on this

Every website and app says
#BUFvsMIA will be airing on CBS. And yet NEvsTB is on my TV. Wtffff. #BillsMafia

Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

One problem with the current administration is it's nearly impossible to tell what's parody these days

I'm really glad I don't have a dog in this fight because I'm already losing my mind #mls #mnufc #soundersfc

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

"Do you recognize that sandwich?" is an all-timer cross-examination question.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.

We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.

Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.

He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.

He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.
