Between this and the 'slavery was no biggie, was it?' vote by the board earlier this week (see link), the massive influence of Texas over curricula across the U.S. stands in urgent need of prying away.

NEW: A trove of internal records from Dialog, the secret society cofounded by Peter Thiel, was left exposed online. WIRED obtained a second cache of records that reveal who's really attending, how they're screened, and what personal details they were promised would stay private.

In #StarTrekTOS' "The Trouble With Tribbles", Korax calls Kirk a "Denebian slime devil". The species is never referenced again in any later #StarTrek episode (except for the re-used #TOS footage in #StarTrekDS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations"). Now, what exactly does it look like? Let's find out! 🧵1/7

What's crazy is he was supposed to be looking at a CG character right in front of him. In the original footage they even gave him an eyeline reference and he STILL couldn't do it!

“My eyeline implies that the stage where the people I’m looking at is, like, 30 feet high.”

trans women have a biological advantage at being hot now

Miss America has just barred intersex people and trans women from participating... only select intersex people who've had surgery to 'correct their genitals', are chromosomally XX etc can participate—what the fuck is this shit 😭😭 I mean, it doesn't get more contemptible & ludicrous.

“I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this” the President said about the single thing he spends the most of his time on.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

Trump, while shuffling through half a dozen posterboard illustrations of his ballroom on Air Force One: "I thought I'd do this now because it's easier. I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this. But I'm fighting wars and other things. But this is very important..."

a little bit of fiction: It’s the 41st millennium and things are fine. You can see the cities on the Moon from the surface of the Earth. (You can’t see the Martian colonies without a telescope or a satellite feed, obviously.) We’ve been to all of the planets and most of the asteroids.

The 92NY canceled my appearance in late October 2023 after I signed a ceasefire letter and reiterated my support for BDS. But they're ok with having this gentleman, Ilya Shapiro, who seems to like genocide and is vocal about it.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

We had elections during the Civil War. Trump has no mechanism to delay, postpone, or suspend elections—legally or otherwise. Accountability is coming. And there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
