devising a new social media platform where you get three energy to spend every turn, posts can attack or defend, and the goal of the platform is slightly more obviously about defeating other commenters than here

There will never be such a place because creating it would require attention to more than just the technology of the platform, it would also require sensitivity to how moderation as a social practice shapes the environment, and an awareness of a history of how the affordances shape that environment.

This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.

Hahaha I assume AI will take better to the capitalist idea.

10% of spiders get caught in their own web.

Love this. Spiders all have one green eye.

Thanks to the nearly 150 folks who came out Saturday at UNC to #standupforscience. I am especially grateful to the amazing speakers who presented a well rounded vision of the current situation & the way forward. Someday folks will ask what we did in this defining moment and you all stood up! 1/2 🧪

Personally I subscribe to the Sum 41 principle: all killer no filler. 🤘

How Stand Up For Science is trying to 'pull every lever' to win over the public Stand Up For Science has become a formal organization and adopted a new strategy that's more confrontational with grassroots tactics

'Stand Up For Science' moving from protest day to political player | STAT

The halls of white supremacy are lined with mediocre boys like Nate.

Fuck you Pixar

Right?!

Well played DC. 😂

"We have to pull out the most powerful arsenal in defense of our democracy that we have, and that's impeachment and removal. And we can't wait."

FIRE RFK JR

On my way to the rally in Washington DC—on the National Mall near the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden starting at noon. Who’s going to out-do this sign from last year? #standupforscience #science #sciencepolicy

Colorful protest sign that reads Science Saves Lives

Protest sign reading Defunding Science is Doge-Shit

Protest sign reading Stand Up For Science: Earth is not flat Vaccines work We‘ve been to the moon Chemtrails aren’t a thing Climate Change is real

Protest sign reading Science is a Mus-t (letter k crossed out and replaced with that last t)

Fantastic event with inspiration from @raskin.house.gov at #standupforscience in DC

Watching this virtually -- thank you #StandUpForScience

Biotech investor set to lead US National Science Foundation If confirmed by the US Senate, Jim O'Neill would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead the agency, a big funder of US basic research.

O'Neill, an investor in anti-aging technology who worked on HHS policy, would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead NSF. His background will be a 'major concern' to the science and technology community, former NSF director Neal Lane told me.

@maxkozlov.bsky.social and I report:

Stand Up for Science National Day of Action tomorrow March 7th around the nation. Standupforscience.net/march7

Public pressure and threat of impeachment helped get Noem out. This is why we are pushing for impeachment of RFK, because that kind of pressure works.
