Whoa, the Justice Dept is decimated! I guess it is a small relief that their idiocy is coming back to haunt them

it's truly wild to watch how incredibly broken + moronic the current US administration is.

(that said it also reminds me of a few academic departments I know)

Does desperation turn one’s skin more orange? Because Navarro is sure sweating tomorrow’s numbers already

the most radical science fiction is the kind where we choose to stay on earth and repair the damage we’ve done

I think it’s supercool of the authoritarian panopticon doorbell company to name themselves after the demon video that kills you in 7 days; almost as cool as the authoritarian panopticon precrime software company to name themselves after the evil demon orb that puts its users in thrall to Sauron.

and I love the new "Epstein class" label that Ossoff is using. It's a perfect fit.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

I got so smug thinking I found a typo in the novel I’m reading - I saw the word β€œwindflower” and thought for sure it was supposed to be β€œwildflower.” Turns out, there are such flora called windflowers! It’s the genus for anemones 🌸

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I was a Skepchick girlie a million years ago & as a fellow loudmouthed Rebekah, I have always loved + appreciated Rebecca’s takes.

It’s pretty great when a Cassandra is able to find validation, and this video has been 15+ years in the making.

I wanna watch the last 5 min again, it was that good.

Epstein Files Reveal How Pathetic Richard Dawkins & Other Men Are Transcript: Well, it happened again. I’m mentioned in the Epstein files. Again. You probably saw my first video on this topic and you came away thinking that I’ve spent the past decade being as awe…

Okay, you guys wanted some fun tea on Richard Dawkins? Here you go: one reason he may have gotten super duper angry about me talking about misogyny in atheism

Oh friend, I am so so sorry to read this news. Big hugs from me from afar.

If you ever wanna share stories or photos, I’m always up to listen. Grief is the worst, and your broken heart is so valid.
