Donate to Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover, organized by Lexi McMenamin More than half the team at Teen Vogue was laid off this week by our parent co… Lexi McMenamin needs your support for Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover

thank you for the outpouring of support!

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

If he actually does get a flying Tesla made, I’m sure he’ll forget to add in terrain avoidance to Autopilot. So we might have more cars going through house roofs…

Well, just look at who’s currently promising flying cars today, and that kinda gives a reason why we don’t have them yet.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

again, don't rank cuomo. just the shittiest, pettiest, laziest person.

Donate to Keep American Science & Surplus Alive, organized by Patrick Meyer A heartfelt message from Pat Meyer, owner of American Science & Surplus: Calling A… Patrick Meyer needs your support for Keep American Science & Surplus Alive

@asavage.bsky.social hey Adam, American Science & Surplus needs some help. You’ve occasionally spoken about the shop when you’re in Chicago. Would you help get the word out? gofund.me/f33f44a7

Pritzker would be a better bet. He’s generally done good work as governor. Even pushed a failed State Tax rate change (from flat to graduated). He’s a fighter, and has LGBT family that’s also former military.

Holy shiitake! Trump fired Shira Perlmutter, the Director of the US Copyrights Office apparently because she refused to let Elon Musk raid the place to steal author’s intellectual property rights

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

It ages me, but my literal first words were “Nanu Nanu”.

20 million Americans might lose their health coverage, just so Republicans can give billionaires a tax cut.

The group chats that changed America A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trump’s new right.

So basically there's a cabal of billionaire broligarchs, far right propagandists, and reactionary centrist journalists all on group chats radicalizing together and exerting coordinated narratives and influence on media and politics

Planning a trip abroad? Here’s how to protect the data on your devices at U.S. border searches Border agents do not need a warrant to conduct searches of cell phones, laptops or other electronic devices when you’re entering the country.

“Everyone should have a plan before travel,” EFF’s Sophia Cope told @miamiherald.com. If an officer wants a device unlocked, “the traveler has to know what they’re going to do in that moment, either they’re going to comply or they’re not going to comply.”

Bear in mind, Judge Wilkinson is a Reagan appointee who was repeatedly on SCOTUS shortlists. This is both an admonition and a dire warning.

No evidence linking Tufts student to antisemitism or terrorism, State Dept. office found An internal memo, prepared before Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE, raises doubts about the Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper.

And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that.

PLEASE do not rank him on your ballot, fellow New Yorkers. He's a clown. Put five other names on your ballot, none of them being his.

Century+ duration electronic data preservation is in fact an unsolved problem, but magnetic tapes set read-only are as close as we have right now. This is a massive, active research problem at Amazon, Google, Microsoft, others. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear... Some tape can be replaced, not all.

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being “undermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Apparently DOD went through the web pages for Medal of Honor recipients and marked those of non-white dudes as "DEI", which also broke links.

The shameless racism is nakedly on display.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

The Trump administration is explicitly targeting libraries, museums, and the press in the latest executive order.

This is not paywalled and I need you to actually read it.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Gov. JB Pritzker

Gov. Tim Walz

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

Heartbreak, New York How blue state Dems are betraying the people they're supposed to represent

NEW from me — a beleaguered New Yorker vents her frustration at how the people the Empire State elected to protect us from fascism have become willing accomplices to Trump's agenda:
