your moment of flat calm

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

The groundbreaking research into the KRAS protein that led to the development of daraxonrasib was funded in part by the NIH. Public funding is the bedrock of pharmaceutical research.

suddenly remembering i haven't plugged my newest in a while. i think everyone should buy and read the book SIMPLICITY which i'm just so tremendously proud of the further i get away from it

the pride and accomplishment I feel for my own success is somewhat undercut by the knowledge that I'd have been absolutely screwed entering the workforce as a baby writer today. Like outside of writing / journalism, I just have no idea in general how new adults are surviving on their own rn

I wrote about billionaires whining about Mamdani and the teeny tiny tax he wants them to pay on their multimillion dollar pied-a-terres. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

the moderation policy on this web site is that everyone is allowed to doxx and send death threats to trans people and also trans people aren't allowed to get mad about that or so much as gently mock their abusers and harrassers.

There’s so much insane shit going on no one has commented on Trump saying “The Pope wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”

Steve Scalise lies on Hannity of political violence that "the right is being attacked by the left over and over again"

This is a common misconception, but in US political jargon, “hindsight is 20/20“ means “leftists predicted this outcome at the time, but I find them personally annoying so I didn’t listen, and it’s actually their fault that I didn’t listen”. see also: climate change, every war ever, etc

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

Strange things are happening in the Ozarks

But I was told we needed to tone down the rhetoric

Twitter is a clear example of how this works. Musk claims he is a free speech purist, but then he changes the algorithms to do this. This is not a free and fair marketplace of ideas where the best ideas win! It is corrupted, a funhouse—not free but selectively boosted speech.

And finally: K grants These support post-docs and early career researchers. Landing one of these can be your ticket to a tenure track gig. They're career-makers. # of new grants issued through April 15 in FY2024 (the last “normal” year): 374 FY2025: 252 FY2026: 140

Yeah I have never been more sure something was up with the quality of the underlying assets of private credit. This is as close to a “my shirt that says we’re nothing like the banks during the great financial crisis” tweet as we’ve had yet

I'm from Minnesota. This is attempted murder.

The magazine that brought you "FAQ: The Snake Fight Portion of Your Thesis Defense" and "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers" bring you Isaac Chotiner's interview with Santa and it is OUTSTANDING. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

SPLIT IN HALF? The boat was capsized and SPLIT IN HALF? I got nothing folks. Trials. Prison. Everyone. If you told me this was a psy-op to make me rethink my moral opposition to the death penalty, I would at least have to think hard about you being right.

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.

The annual 2023 figures for US ped / cyclist fatalities from collisions with motor vehicles are about 7,300 / 1,100, respectively. The US is so built around car use that drivers are enraged by policies that add friction for them. They will harangue elected officials about it until they relent.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

After fighting to keep emails between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and billionaire Elon Musk’s companies secret, officials have released nearly 1,400 pages of documents to @kutnews.bsky.social and The Texas Newsroom. All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

Good reminder that Trump was guilty of an egregious crime simply in Georgia, let alone the rest of the country, and should have served a significant stint in prison. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

So our campus just announced the six undergraduate programs being put on the chopping block. One of them is Philosophy. Philosophy. Can we be a university without offering a Philosophy major?

If you can, please consider donating to their GoFundMe. The money is going to union members this holiday so they can buy groceries and pay rent while they fight for a fair contract. If MiUSA means anything at all, it must mean good paying jobs for workers. www.gofundme.com/f/support-in...

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

The same road this picture was taken. My neighborhood.
