Would a vaygan order a patty melt at Whataburger?

What kind of numerals do you use when you make up fake statistics about vaccine harms, you shitweasel?

Let us look at the facts here: Putin believes Ukraine is a fake country. He does not care how many Russians die in order for him to rule it. He has consistently taken the maximalist position even against a friendly regime with Trump. Where is this mythical peace deal?

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

Invasion, mass murder, rape, kidnapping of children - all fine

The vagueness, the arbitrariness, the capriciousness: all hallmarks of authoritarian power.

Breaking Scaramucci's record on Columbus Day Week?

The latest Musk publicity stunt with his “”””flying”””” car illustrates the broader issue with a lot of the tech industry these days (particularly AI, but related to enshittification in general) in that: What pressing problem is this supposed to solve, and does it do so efficiently and effectively?

Indeed.

I say we tally up all the times JD Vance has brought up the subject of transgender kids in public and all the times Talarico has brought it up to see exactly which one's hard drive we need to inspect.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

He makes a good point.

Oh.

Not now, Black Death.

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

I’m generally reluctant to reduce to individual psychology what are clearly deep systemic problems in our society and economy. That said, this guy is a straight-up lunatic.

Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

They reeaaallly don’t get it.

These pro-AI whiners can't fathom why everyone's so hostile on Bluesky. This is a knowledge-worker bar. You couldn't go into a steelworker bar and brag about outsourcing their jobs. Why would you expect a warm welcome here? Plus, you're always bragging about ending life on earth.

Some sacrifices are too profound for words. On 9/11, the men and women of the FDNY showed us what extraordinary courage looks like — answering the call when our city needed them most.

Idiot, racist Trump is talking about eugenics. Eugenics (a phony science) gave us the Holocaust, slavery, and countless other sins against humanity and decency. I also believe in blood. All humans have blood and it’s all the same. What a nightmare.

🇺🇦❗️🇺🇸 You have met with Putin many times. Aren’t you disgusted to sit at the same table with a war criminal, an executioner of the Ukrainian people, who is guilty of the Ukrainian tragedy?, — journalist Gordon to Witkoff

WOOF no thank you

I don’t usually get emotional about celebrity deaths, but here I am with tears in my eyes for Dolly. What a life.

CPRIT is one of the (few) things that Texas gets right. So of course Ken Paxton is against it.

If you think Natalie Harp's love letters to Trump are cringe, you should see what Donald writes to me.

Hello, human geneticist here. There is no scientific basis for attempts to define people in terms of “good” or “bad” genes - these are discredited views in service of racist ideologies. For consensus & concerns of experts in our field, see e.g. this 2020 statement from @geneticssociety.bsky.social:

I am positive I will not see anything better today!

Yeah, see, you lost me at “a concern that many leaders have felt”

This is great.

literally Isaac Newton was literally an anti-Trinitarian heretic, a topic about which he wrote privately in extensive writings-- more than he wrote on science and math publicly!-- that were not published until generations after his death on account of: they would have gotten him persecuted

Oh come ON

There's a word for this

🤦🏻‍♀️

I love these infographics explaining how LLMs work and the particular problems they pose for science communication!

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.
