I wrote about the 23-year-old crypto bro with effectively no relevant work experience, who @alondra.bsky.social revealed is sitting in meetings, not paying attention, and then giving the thumbs up/thumbs down on whether they can get their NSF grants...

"Curzon, my old friend!" "Actually I'm Jadzia now!" "Jadzia, my old friend!!" No lie, one of my favorite scenes in Star Trek, peak humanism.

This isn’t just about Harvard. It’s about a wannabe dictator coercing the world’s top university to bend to his rule. And if Harvard loses this fight, you can bet Trump will go after your college too. That’s not just wrong, it’s fascist and un-American.

thread. if your representatives are Republicans - especially if they are - ask them to to protect the kids they talk so much about. the "well, we all will die eventually" type stuff needs to be 1) out in the open 2) spread by you IRL.

had a dream where everything was a Netflix show but the narrator would sometimes turn to the camera and fast-forward the show for me and I don't like what that says about my Netflix habits

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a fun and interesting game with interesting narrative structure, but I do wish the little ingame encyclopedia of terms and items fully updated after certain plot revelations.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

This is a big, big deal. Trump wants Congress to ratify his coup by passing a $10 billion recission package for the illegal and unconstitutional DOGE chainsaw. If Congress does this, all the court cases against DOGE will die. Any cuts and mass fittings that have been rolled back will come back.

couldn't sleep, watched the newer D&D movie (again). I really liked it. it's solidly plotted, has some nice character moments, overall just a good time. and, yes, there are some points where you can go Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme "it's the thing!!", so there's that, too.

I had to explain to my mom how to refer to nonbinary people and she said, "I didn't grow up with that language, but thank you for teaching me how to be respectful". get all the way outta here with this nonsense. also: goose meme "Controversial" with who, Third Way? "Controversial" with who?!

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

reminder if you have a Senator on the Judiciary Committee: when you call, ask them to place a hold on the nom. ask them to follow Schiff's precedent of putting a hold on Martin (if he's your Senator, ask him to do it again) & talk about how much you liked that a hold was placed. 1/2

short call script for cis women: “I’m a cisgender woman, and I don’t want trans girls forced to out themselves or be excluded from athletics. This will increase bullying and hate crimes. If you want to help support women athletes, reverse your proposed budget cuts impacting CSU athletics programs.”
