Or well. Giving a fuck and then being rigorous about the work it takes to solve the problem.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists have created a sugar-coated nanoparticle that blocks COVID-19 from infecting cells with 99% effectiveness in lab tests. This isn't a vaccine. It's a decoy. And it could change how we fight viruses forever.

A 24 year old farm worker was killed by heat in Mississippi. No worker should be killed on the job, but we still have no enforceable federal heat protection rules. 1/

i don't care if the danged chat bots are "thinking." that's not my problem. stop putting them in my computers

The reason you want an actual humanitarian aid system and *don’t* want to force everybody to rely on online mutual aid is because online mutual aid *forces people experiencing horrific trauma* to perform on the Internet for survival.

Forgive the biblical metaphor, but being expelled from the garden was traumatic and irrevocably changed the mental model for Adam and Eve. Do you envision some event that could dramatically alter the naivete of the simple consumer mindset? When people realize data is the currency?

A decade of walled gardens trained us to be consumers not creators. So telling someone they can “own their data” assumes they see themselves as a data-producing participant in a network. Most don’t. Their mental model is much simpler: people I follow; things I care about; where to find them.

It's always so wild to me when people speak so confidently, revealing they have no idea what they are talking about.

THREAD/ORIGINAL ART GIVEAWAY This hare linoprint is by my mum, Jo. I'll be sending an original of this to one randomly chosen person who reposts this link to my recently updated website & pops a reply below. www.tom-cox.com The offer is open worldwide. I also have some more art to give away...

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

It's a wrestling match now

HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SCREAM?

HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SCREAM?

WHAT

It's horrifying to be in the early stages of an era where an abstraction with so much value (data) is being pillaged, all while the vast majority have yet to understand what is being taken. It's not a shiny rock, or a patch of fertile dirt, but a concept with fuzzy boundaries for most.

Noticing, capturing, sharing these moments with others is exactly the solution for defeating the narrative of AI supremacy.

"Anti-immigrant protesters". For a business that purports to communicate information, you are pretty terrible at doing so. Since when has it been ok to "protest" other human beings for who they are? And you choose to validate their immoral premise, @nbcnews.com.

So this happened in my community I don't know the individuals directly, but a local nonprofit vouched for it so I'm confident it happened as described www.gofundme.com/f/help-trans...

Man, where does rage go? It certainly doesn't feel like it leaves my body. It just pools in my stomach. It radiates to my fingers. It flows down my shoulders and back like an unwanted cloak.

PSA Fake evite email phishing is out of control right now. Don’t click without checking with the purported sender.

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

maybe a little more emphasis on his plan to KIDNAP BLACK CHILDREN?

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Just made a small donation. I hope you can join me in supporting @thexylom.com and our Editor-at-Large KC Cheng during #WorldPressFreedomDay #AAPIHeritageMonth!

Today, right now, innocent and desperate people are being imprisoned, enslaved, and beaten by gangs carrying out online scams. Do you want your money to support this? Because when you donate to shady online campaigns, it very well might be.

"I don't think there is anything that is trashy, so I read what makes me happy".

Hi all! We have a few whistle makers who are in need of filament. If you're able to help out by getting them a spool, they will turn it into 500 whistles. Here's whistle maker #1, someone who has been making whistles since Chicago in the very beginning: www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.

Please forgive me: I do not like Matchbox Twenty. At all.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

This enrages me.

Hi everyone, one of our whistle producers is down to a roll or two of filament. If you have the capacity, would you mind helping them out so they can keep printing whistles? Thank you all!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start: www.standwithminnesota.com

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s
