Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we should be taking scientific advice from a demented pedophile who tried to redraw a hurricane chart with a sharpie.

The Fight Over US Climate Rules Is Just Beginning As the EPA moves to roll back the endangerment finding, which allows it to regulate greenhouse gases, experts predict uncertainty for business and a protracted legal fight.

The Trump administration has revoked the key rule allowing the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. What's next? A big, stupid mess, reports @mollytaft.com:

this is so good.

it also reminds me of the time media outlets sane-washed Neuralink's first human patient trial.

WSJ said the company fixed "a problem" with the wiring ahead of their second volunteer.

the problem? 85 PERCENT OF THE WIRES DETACHED FROM HIS BRAIN

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

it's hard not to think about how 5 or 10 years from now, the shooters (and games writ large) we'll be reverently talking about will still be the same ones we talk about now (DOOM 2016, Titanfall 2, etc) because there is no money going around to make new ones of those happen. we are in purgatory.

This is an interesting piece about how NYT is using AI in its newsroom. (tl;dr: they generate transcripts of the podcasts they're tracking, those transcripts gets summarized, those summaries get delivered in a report to journalists)

Those who aren't attorneys and haven't worked in public service will have a general sense of how historically unprecedented and unprofessional this behavior is but those who *are* attorneys and *have* worked in public service and taken an Oath to the Constitution are watching this with abject horror

‘If It Isn’t Fun, It Goes’ How Nintendo’s trust in “Miyamoto magic” changed video games forever.

“MacDonald has done something no English-speaking reporter has before her: told the story of Nintendo, in detail... She has gotten inside the mind of Miyamoto, and the intangible miasma that has made video games what they are today”
