i'm now imagining an anthropomorphized laptop, in the animation style of "the brave little toaster", just panting and wheezing because it's so exhausted

with numbers like this, we really should be taking seriously the possibility that right-wingers are just biologically less capable of doing science and math at the highest levels of excellence and accomplishment.

ugh, the "chosen one" portrayal is especially galling. very colonialist, almost white savior and "great man theory"-esque (regardless of ramsey's gender identity and race). especially when put up against portraying the indigenous kaniela ing as somehow antagonistic to shark conservation

Shark Whisperer is lying to you: a look into the harmful effects of Ocean Ramsey and shark influencers โ€” Dr. Jack A.

probably not great that my tummy just made a gurgling noise that sounded almost identical to the space invaders' ufo flying across the top of the screen sound effect, but maybe an octave lower

The Case of the Tiny Tyrannosaurus Might Have Been Cracked

My latest for @nytimes.com! For 40 years, paleontologists have grappled over whether a small tyrannosaur โ€” named Nanotyrannus โ€” was its own animal, or simply a teenage T.rex. The debate has been ... contentious. Which is why it's so fun to finally be able to say this:

Folks? Nanotyrannus is real.

i'm not saying anyone should ask this of him because he's a stupid lying piece of filth, but it would be kind of funny to see how he responds to a question such as "then shouldn't we wait for all the science to be in before we start regulating or recommending people not take tylenol while pregnant?"

he also got paid by a private company to murder brown people in the middle east

if he wants to show contrition and make the world a better place, running for the senate is not the way

underlying vance's sentiment here is the almost definitionally conservative laziness that states they, and only they, should not be expected to do any work to accomplish anything (the same laziness that is also foundational to vance's racism here); everyone else has to work to accommodate them

this part is typical republican-weird: "i want to live next to people i have something in common with"

how can you know if you have something in common with your neighbors if you don't try to find out?

and what if the only thing you have in common with your neighbor is you speak the same language?

it'll be interesting to see whether the liberal response to this will be more like their silence about cuomo's racists attacks against mamdani or more like their outrage at accurately reporting on planter having a nazi tattoo, murdering brown people for blackwater, and blaming women for being raped

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโ€™m not backing down, and weโ€™re going to win.

i want any of these chuckleheads to define what "democratize" means when they use it, because coding is not meaningfully gatekept. if one wants to learn C++ or Python or whatever, one can very easily do that. that's exceptionally available to the people

wayforward has incredibly questionable (LRG) if not outright problematic (ModRetro) partnerships, but a new shantae game is exciting news

let's hope the company gets it shit together on that front by the time this one comes out

oh, it was a joke. i wasn't seriously suggesting it. the guy in the article is said to be 25, while planter is in his 40s. i was just snarking about precisely the idea that there are a lot of shitty men who have nazi tattoos and anti-scientific views about women, and planter is one of them.

i think we really need to examine whether wealthy conservatives are literate at all

every time a rich right-winger talks about any narrative - from a book, movie, whatever - they seem incapable of even the most basic form of story comprehension

"everyone is 12" theory maybe is too generous by 8
