Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

2019 video of Heidi the Octopus, captured by Dr. David Scheel, a professor of marine biology at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage & aired on PBS Nature program "Octopus: Making Contact". We think the color changes are the results of Heidi dreaming as she sleeps. Let's talk about it.

I LOVE this style of b/w with sparse color for only specific things

it is shockingly easy to post AI generated music under the name of real artists on Spotify. It took us five minutes to do. You can do it to small bands, dead artists, even Taylor Swift. This is a giant loophole in digital music distribution that's widely abused www.404media.co/spotify-ai-m...

404media.coI Hijacked a Real Artist's Spotify with AI Music. It Was Disturbingly EasyA glaring loophole in digital music distribution makes it very easy to piggyback on the talent of real artists with AI generated music.

I don't even have the words for how sad it makes me. I miss the genuine curiosity and love I had for technology.

I've seen a lot of people in my cohort in STEM fields completely lose enthusiasm about the space as it's shifted so much from "What if we made products and services people like" to enshittification, scammyness, gambling, AI, sucking up to fascists, etc.

The blue whale has been officially dethroned as the longest animal on earth*. In 2020, Schmidt Ocean Institute spotted this galaxy-shaped creature while doing an ROV dive off the coast of Australia. Based on their laser measurement system, they estimate the outer ring is 154 feet long...

Yippee I have been waiting for this to be complete before experiencing. The demo was so compelling I had to stop playing bc I felt like I was ruining it for my future self by playing an incomplete version.

Incredible news! Weeks after the new Prime Minister Péter Magyar took office, the mayor of Budapest, Mayor Gergely Karácsony, has had his charges dropped for illegally celebrating Pride month in his city. It appears changes are coming to Hungary. Subscribe to support our journalism.

erininthemorning.comCharges Dropped Against Budapest Mayor For Pride After Hungary's New PM Took Office“Those in power did everything they could to intimidate and discourage us. They even threatened us with prison. But we did not back down.”

Omg actual dream come true. I found a honeybee on my car last winter but didn't have anything to warm him up or hold in other than my hand. Did my best but had to eventually leave him in a bush bc he kept trying to fly away once he was warm enough

girlie no way is this a comfy spot to nap

None of these pricks are ever concerned with circumcision or female genital mutilation. Idk how to deal with people who are so upset with like two 17 year olds choosing surgery while ignoring literally millions of cases of actual nonconsensual surgeries.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.
