Its like when your dog is trying to be tuff but you scritch him right behind the ear where he likes and suddenly hes a goofy puppy again

All workers deserve a union and yes, that includes union staff who are workers

Today Zohran Mamdani is launching the Office of Deed Theft Prevention. The mayor is appointing Peter White, a lawyer who has worked on deed theft litigation, foreclosures, landlord-tenant disputes to be the director of the new office, according to @thecity.nyc. /1

Israel murdered Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. Killing journalists in a war zone is a war crime, and Israel has been doing it with impunity for years. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.

After isolating primary basal cells (which is an airway stem cell) from the trachea of rat, I was able to promote successful differentiation of multiciliated cells! This is not a new technique by any means, but it was my first try at it, so I’m pretty proud! Look the cilia are waving at you!!!!

In a world where you have to pay a machine for thoughts by token, I feel rich knowing my meatsack brain only needs a few calories per complex thought. 🤣 maybe a coke zero when the meatsack really needs to lock in.

Anarchists are the best

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

This publication feels particularly relevant right now. www.scientificamerican.com/article/weal...

United Flight Attendants have reached a Tentative Agreement!

It is so funny that this guy is running for the 2016 nomination in 2026.

It’s international puppy day, so heres my vegan puppy eating his favorite hay.

HOWLING

what happened to if you have time to lean you have time to clean. or does that only apply to me making $7.25/hr to sell shitty frozen yogurt and not the highly paid murder squad

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

BREAKING: Rep. DeGette gets heated with a constituent pressing her on why she voted to send bombs to Israel: "If this the only issue that you care about is this issue, then you should not vote for me" DeGette, who's 68, is facing a primary challenge from @MelatKirosCO

Just putting this out in public so I don’t have to keep saying it in emails and DMs. If you’re an editor or reporter and you had the platform to write about Biden‘s cruel and inhumane policy of outdoor detention and chose not to, I have no interest in helping you write about ICE and CBP now

The Italian version sounds wrong. Like it was translated by someone with no ear for the language, which is amazing considering how little and simple text you chose to include. It would have been so cheap to pay a translator.

Specifically this one plz

Lol wut? Is anyone actually listening to these “leaders”?

As we approach two weeks of this conflict it’s a good time to check in with your progressive outlets and see if they’ve taken the time to talk to anyone from Iran or the diaspora yet or if they’re just running opinion pieces from Americans who only understand solidarity when it’s with a state.

If they are hitting water infrastructure in Iran, that’s a crime against humanity on an enormous scale. I planned to publish something on Iran’s water crisis this week but it obviously got bumped. Iran was already in a critical state pre war, destroying water infrastructure will kill innocent people

disappointing to see how many American left outlets seem to think the appropriate response to the attack on Iran is to do a soft pro regime stance. Just like anyone else, people in Iran deserve the right to govern themselves. Seeing their freedom as tool in domestic politics is an imperialist stance

Inconsequential take Crossfit became popular because its the only form of group fitness men can participate in a way that doesnt threaten their masculinity in the current fitness culture. Class style fitness like insanity, bodypump, pilates is typically seen as “feminine” in the fitness scene.

Any time you post about something outside the USA on this app, you are met with people orientalizing and massively oversimplifying complex situations. It is incredibly frustrating, and it is why I generally do not engage here about the things I cover in Myanmar and Kurdistan.

House votes 357-65 to block release of congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

me: posts an analysis of various revolutions that were built from local councils, including the so-far uncontested fact that the Russian revolution started that way before Lenin consolidated power and disenfranchised the soviets. bsky: "yeah makes sense" substack: "sure" IG: "You are the CIA."

Conservatism is a form of mental constipation, no flow forward.

You get the neurons moving?

There are two weeks until my election, and AIPAC has spent $150,000 to create the worst attack out against me I have ever seen. Let’s watch it:

You dont say….

This feels like a helpful primer for understanding AI in general. It makes programmers more efficient on the front end because they can generate more code. But it makes them less efficient afterwards because it vastly increases the amount of time they spend tweaking and fixing bugs.

@jamesstout.bsky.social I cant wait to get reading ❤️

They have zero interest in a democratic process. They just want their king to replace trump.

This further validates my fear that the “anti-mRNA” sentiment in government is going to slow or block the progress of potential mRNA cancer vaccines. Why invest into an expensive mRNA vaccine that might get arbitrarily blocked when you can churn out small molecule drugs for MUCH cheaper?

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

This is going to fundementally delay research into developmentally associated pathologies. Concerned about whats safe for a developing fetus? We have one less molecular model to answer that question. #stem #trump #NIH

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

This abstract low key feels like the beginning of a speech about why we should all unionize our workplaces as academics.
