very funny to me that a test of antidepressant efficacy is how much longer it makes animals struggle to escape an inescapable situation. like what a telling proxy for modern life.

translated: they're gonna double down on lazy, badly automated, "CEO said a thing!" access journalism clickbait crafted for MBA bros who confuse wealth accumulation with having a personality, and don't like reading stuff that explains any real world nuanced impact of those choices

“The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens.“ Palantir will be used to identify domestic Trump critics soon enough.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!

awfully sweet to have friends who check in to make sure you’re safe after biking home at night (when your lights are broken 😅)

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

As agency after agency gets torn down and sold for scraps, remember: Not having official research and response professionals means he can mold public opinion very very easily. If he announces next month that pasteurized milk causes ass rabies, the USDA will be hobbled from countering this.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

This is really really bad because when I was at big law in 2001, a lot of people were repping patriot act detainees pro bono. This is how Trump makes sure no lawyers step up the way they did in airports in January 2017 when he issued the Muslim travel ban EO

NEW: DOD issued its new military policy on Wednesday banning all transgender people who are living as themselves from joining or continuing to serve in the military. Under the policy, “separation actions” of current service members who are transgender are to begin within the next two months.

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.
