I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

Five ways Joe Rogan misleads listeners about climate change  » Yale Climate Connections Rogan exposes millions to climate denial. Let’s break down his tactics.

Joe Rogan has one of the world's most popular podcasts. Unfortunately, like nearly all of the most popular online shows, his tends to spread climate misinformation. For @climateconnections.bsky.social I scrutinize his recent episode with octogenarian climate contrarians Lindzen & Happer 🧵 (1/11)

When the conservative justices issue a shadow docket opinion like this one, they often stress that they are not ruling on the merits. But the only snippet of legal argument the majority dares to include—the assertion that the Passport Policy conveys “a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment”—reveals a lot about how the justices really feel about the transgender plaintiffs before them. By allowing the administration to require people to use the marker associated with the “historical fact” of their sex assigned at birth, the conservatives are tacitly endorsing Trump’s position that any other gender identity is, in some sense, “false”—not real, not serious, and not entitled to their respect. The logic is every bit as transphobic as Trump’s executive order; the Court simply uses more legalese to embrace it.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump’s passport sex markers policy conveys as much casual transphobia as a two-page judicial opinion ever could without actually including slurs. Absolutely vile stuff. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Call me a filthy commie or whatever but Cuba was right when they made foreign ownership of property illegal. If you don't live in a country you shouldn't be able to create a housing shortage there by buying up real estate.

This image shows a six-panel comic by Kate Beaton, titled, “Every Lady Scientist Who Ever Did Anything (until recently).” Panel 1: Rosalind Franklin being taunted by a grinning James Watson while with Francis Crick, saying, “Oooh, what’s that you’ve got? Little Rosie Franklin’s research! I bet it’s something!” Rosalind replies, “My final report.” Panel 2: Franklin corrects Watson saying, “ROSALIND.” Crick retorts, “Oh, that’s a big name,” and Watson says, “You’re getting fancy on us! Tell me -“ Panel 3: Rosalind deadpans, “Ah. I love this game.” Watson says, “Is it a scientific breakthrough in feelings?” while Crick laughs Panel 4: Rosalind, leaving the room, says, “Well, I suppose I have to go into hysterics or have a baby somewhere, good day gentlemen” Panel 5: Watson, hiding behind doorframe, watching Franklin walk almost out of sight, says, “Go, go,” to Crick, who is grabbing a paper Panel 6: Watson and Crick hold out a folder in front of their faces, showing their eyes and tips of their heads. Crick remarks, “Nice,” while Watson says to Crick, “Quit hogging”

always a good time to review this @katebeaton.bsky.social comic, gloriously entitled, “Every Lady Scientist Who Ever Did Anything (until recently)” 🧪

6th Circuit Rules Cis Students May Bully Trans Students By Repeatedly Misgendering Them The Circuit also seemed to suggest that trans students could not misgender their bullies in return.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.

Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.

"We are unsure what 'Chimken' was, but the leading belief is that it was a fertility ritual, much like 'Netflix and Chill' versus a religious belief like 'Homestuck.'"

The femboy era was an interesting one. Feels strange to look back on now.

Shapiro, rebuffing Vance about SNAP: "(JD Vance) claims to be a person of faith. I know my Bible, and my Bible teaches us that we are to love thy neighbor and we are to feed the hungry. Deuteronomy says, If you see a person who is in need, you don't give them a clenched fist. You open up your hand."

Abolish Border Patrol.

🧪 do eugenecists deserve to be lauded as “complicated,” as opposed to racist, sexist, ableist etc?

do they deserve “balanced” obituaries after writing memoirs deriding women scientists also involved in those discoveries? where was the balance & fairness for Franklin & others he discriminated ag?

Please don't ever give up🫂

Notable that FIRE (@thefireorg.bsky.social) filed an amicus in support of bullying trans youth. This is why trans people don't trust your transphobic organization, @aricohn.com.

Rosalind Franklin’s DNA research was foundational to “the 1st accurate model of DNA's chemical structure….
Franklin died from ovarian cancer in 1958, a few yrs before Watson, Crick, & Wilkins won the Nobel Prize, which is not awarded posthumously & can only be shared by 3 living scientists.”🧪

Be proud of your positive changes

Don't let motherfuckers dim your light. Don't let them feel like you've only met par. Be excited for yourself. You're the best cheerleader you'll ever have

the wealthy oligarchs want to control all flow of information to create narratives and beliefs they want to instill into populations, no better illustrated by comparing how elon musks ‘grokipedia’ talks about hitler compared to ‘wikipedia’
