B&W picture of a 1960s girl group, the Shangra-las. 4 white girls lined side to side w/ 1 hand on hip and the other at their chin: they have beehive hairdos, white go-go boots, ruffled white shirts. They are all stuffed into corseted glittered onesies and the neckline plunges to emphasize their breasts.

Mamdani is going to institute Shangra-Las. All must wear beehives and flattering sequined onsies

Holy shitskis. Surprised Jbhatt is not there.

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

On the event of James Watson's death, I highly recommend this 2023 commentary from @matthewcobb.bsky.social and Nathaniel Comfort with crucial new insights into the discovery of the double helix. (And also check out Cobb's brand new biography of Francis Crick) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy James Watson finally died day.

A Decade Later, Supreme Court Is Asked to Revisit Same-Sex Marriage Decision

What country am I moving to?https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/politics/supreme-court-same-sex-marriage.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zU8.PsGZ.ejiytJUtQ_-l

This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at birth. The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac- tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application. Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to establish that the Government’s choice to display biological sex “lack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to harm a politically unpopular group.” Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted). Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de- clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex- pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Holy god.

Jury finds D.C. ‘sandwich guy’ not guilty of assaulting officer Sean C. Dunn admitted he flung the hoagie at a federal agent. His attorneys called it a “harmless gesture” of protest as Trump commandeered D.C. police.

Long live the jury trial in America.

Calling Dr. Kennedy.

Was going to post this title, but here is a perfectly good response. More NYT idiocraty.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June.

It’s louder & clearer tonight.

As you celebrate Mamdani’s victory, I want to take in that it was not a victory for the Democratic Party. He won in spite of the party.

Hell yeah Zohran is already solving the housing crisis

Hope he washed his hands
