Trump canceled: "a grant to Emory University and Georgia State University, where researchers had developed three potential drugs that showed promise against many RNA-based viruses, including coronaviruses, Ebola, avian influenza and measles.." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Just got Ark Survival Evolved up and running on my gen 1 Switch. Only got the base game for now, but it's pretty good.

I’ve been marching for LGBTQ+ rights since Pride was considered a protest. And I’ll continue to march under this administration as a recommitment to the fight for equality today. No matter who you are or who you love, you have a home here in Illinois.

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...

Happy Pride Month everyone! Reminder about by ace rep books. 💙📚🪐 ♠️🌈📚

This is also your gentle reminder, with Pride Month coming up, that - being ace (any flavour) - or demi (any flavour) - or non-binary - or genderfluid - or trans (one has to say it these days, sadly) is QUEER ENOUGH. You are valid. You belong. And we are happy to have you. 🌈 🫶 🏳️‍🌈

This isn’t just about Harvard or higher education. This is a preview of how it could be for every industry, company, organization, and operation. *Everyone* should be outraged.

The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.

Would-be governor, would-be moderate Republican Mike Lawler can't answer questions, has questioner, social worker @emilyjaynef.bsky.social, forcibly removed as constituents shout "Shame! Shame! Shame!"

Wow. Now they’re throwing out old lady social workers for asking questions. These Republican House members are whiny little weenies. I bet Mike Lawler hates Cory Booker. Bwahahahaha

People I love would be dead if not for Narcan. How many people is this administration going to kill? So so many. And it will be the people we love.

This should not be happening in the richest country in the world. How shameful. www.newsweek.com/number-ameri...

Just finished rewatching Caberet via Tubi. It's that much more eerie, given things these days.

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.

Primary this useless man.

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

The Authoritarian capture of the university system by a rightwing state government using the state house end of session as cover should be massive news.

Didn't see this three months ago, glad it's on the ol' TL again so that I could learn this. Hey now! Guess what! The "Roman salute" - wasn't. Just was not a thing!

😭🥺

Hoping to go to a nice little bookstore tomorrow. Can't wait. I enjoy hunting for books there. 😄

Harvard is free for students whose family income is $100,000 & below. This covers tuition, food, housing, health insurance, travel cost. Additionally, each of these students will receive $2000 in their first year & a $2000 grant during junior year to help support the transition beyond Harvard.

Wtaf?! Only thing that would do/accomplish, is to piss people off.

Political funerals have become necessary again. ACT UP. Fight back. Fight AIDS.

I think articles like this are important but also whitewash history in that it ignores the reality that this terror campaign has existed since the founding and is different but not new imo.

"The rise of end times fascism" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor is an outstanding work. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Recommended.

Mutual aid time folks. If you can spare it. 🖤

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

The greatest power you have atm is your purchasing power. Voices are next, but they will increasingly ignore them if they feel they can do that and still keep their power.
