Just as a note, I tend to block 'people' who follow me but have never interacted with me and don't appear to be legitimate people accounts. I usually assume that you're a bot and/or scraping data 🤷🏻‍♀️ or selling something. Had my first spicy content follow today 🤣 I uh, was not her target market.

I remember someone super cool proposing a Terf House reality show where they were told there was a secret trans but the twist was no there wasn't. It was hilarious! And even funnier that they're just doing it themselves!

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

Staging these sites under the EOP & circumventing fedramp means we can’t see who’s doing what, who’s writing the code, etc - things required for govt sites. This is scary stuff. They could fabricate voter registration fraud and use it to throw out votes, for example, and we couldn’t check it. END/

Im filling out DBS paperwork in England.. why do instructions still include BRP? Those were deprecated as an ID in like 2024. At least this list also mentions eVisa, but a lot of paperwork I've encountered this year doesn't! Disturbing that services specifically working with this aren't up to date

I'm not surprised but I am baffled that "whiny, self-absorbed, untrustworthy, amoral, clearly no principles or sense of duty" is routinely labeled as "masculine." It's like they read scholarly articles on the interwoven nature of masculinity and toxic masculinity and decided "just the toxic parts."

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

This is incredibly tragic. I had the pleasure of speaking at an MIT Libraries event last month and got to see the good work the do and the community they support. For a university of this caliber to shutter this many of its libraries--this is truly a travesty.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Just as a reminder to UK voters, this is what Reform wants to build - profit engines fueled with human suffering.

A generational sieve.

This is the height of corruption. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

When a regime clearly holds the rule of law in contempt, and views itself as completely above the law, it and its agents don’t have any moral argument for the protections of the rule of law.

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Lunes. Buenos días

Especially when Jason was RIGHT THERE. It’s not so much that he’s called Jason and looks the part, it’s that he has Peak Odysseus Energy. A chaos monkey who got lost for 14 years on a trip that would’ve taken a month had he walked.

Really glad Bulgaria pulled through on that one 😬 #eurovision

🔴 Keir Starmer promised to crackdown on "Slapps" - abusive libel cases to silence journalists and critics Then Labour quietly dropped it We can reveal why: a three-year lobbying blitz by libel lawyers who've acted for Russian oligarchs, Epstein + more democracyforsale.substack.com/p/how-lawyer...

Whaaaaa! What a cutie! A Batillipes sp. tardigrade from my latest plankton sample 🥹. #marineplankton 🦑 #zooplankton

2 more Novaseq 25B plates about to finish. 55 wastewater samples, ~30 million people, 3 coasts. Before anyone asks - yes, we would be able to detect Ebola Bundibugyo. If it has an RNA or DNA genome, we can detect it. www.afro.who.int/countries/de...

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Trans rights are human rights and this administration is an abomination of hate and greed.

The wisdom of Steve Hilton: a thread. (All genuine policy ideas he suggested) 🤪Replace the Commonwealth with a new union of countries based on their shared love of techno music 🤪Remove all Libyans from Libya and turn it into a giant solar farm to power the UK www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

Brilliant! The English are now ruled over by a blood-soaked cardboard cutout at national level, and a tribe of bitter and deficient incels locally.

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Have seen this cycle a lot of times: Paper promotes the benefits of AI in education, paper is hyped in media/LinkedIn/in AI circles. Paper is retracted as bullshit months later www.404media.co/nature-retra...

Hey @gregdoucette.bsky.social, do you remember the NC 86it ads? I don't know if they were Wake County only, although they still have their info page up. Really violent rhetoric to talk about waste disposal 🤔

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

And remember trump Posting pictures of the Obamas on primate bodies and Biden hog tied in a truck. Yes republicans find that hysterical 😵‍💫while we look at republicans for what they are SKANKS! Every thing they claim is a dam lie!

“Imagine the headlines if - in somewhere like Russia or China - a senior lawyer faced a secret trial and potential imprisonment for expertly representing a client and, against the odds, aiding in their acquittal for serious criminal charges” This is happening at today in London.

Rep. Eugene Vindman to Pete Hegseth: "You said that this is what the American people voted for. But actually the American people voted for a promise not to get into Middle Eastern wars and they voted for lower prices, and this is the exact opposite of what they got."

Text reads: When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves. Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

I think BBC news needs to secede from the rest of the BBC because it's going to drag all the good stuff and good people down with it! Imagine we loose regional radio, cbeebies, celebrity masterchef, eastenders, Small Prophets and the sport montages because of a few bigoted editors??

Pink Punters in Milton Keynes was the first lgbtq venue I ever frequented, and I am sad to see that it has burnt to the ground. However, I think the notion that it is being described as 'arson' should worry the entire UK community... 1/2

Why are they all standing so weirdly, except for the Green candidate? What is it with political dudes and awkwardly holding their hands in front of themselves? The fellow on the black suit next to him at least also looks halfway natural. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
