I do think that there are a lot of liberals and leftists that want violent resistance or revolution, but want minorities and oppressed people to do it. That see those groups as kindling to be burned so that they may replant the forest in their image.

will never not be just completely bonkers to me that we literally finally found a whole ass way to prevent a cancer and a bunch of people were like ewww gross it’s the v word. (PSA again: they’ve been steadily raising the eligibility age for all genders so you might be eligible if weren’t before)

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

people talk about capital flight like it's a bad thing but I've not yet seen a strong argument that they don't displace more in taxes than they give. what can they even threaten, bringing the skyscrapers with them? "we won't invest in the city" okay! you already gave up on that one twenty years ago

There is so, so much good science being shared and discussed on bsky right now. The news of its demise is quite backwards. If you are having trouble finding it among all of the very important political news, use the papersky feed that filters posts you follow to just papers: bsky.app/profile/pape...

Aight I'm gonna just say it- if in a situation where a guy with a gun opened fire into a crowd because he saw a latino kid who was open carrying and freaked out, you're siding with the literal active shooter over the victims of the shooting, you're probably just a racist.

"Create a journal for replication work". 🙄 This comes up time again as if there aren't existing places to put replications. PLOSOne will taken them, plenty of other journals will, and bioRxiv has had an article type called "Confirmatory Results" since we launched in 2013!

~40% cuts to NIH research awards. ~35% cuts to training programs. ~27% cut to internal research. ~30% fewer grants awarded overall. The Common Fund will be cut in half. American science has never faced a threat like this. www.statnews.com/2025/06/06/n... via @statnews.com

Look people, no matter how much we destroy the Earth by polluting it with CO₂, microplastics, PFAS, etc. everywhere, and even if AMOC shuts down and both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melt, the Earth will still be infinitely more habitable than Mars. Mars is a shithole and we're not going.

my favorite part about ever having Lyme disease is that annually once its over a certain heat and humidity every joint in my feet aches so hard that I would prefer to steamroll my feet rather than wear shoes. thankfully my low back doesnt do this anymore unless its VERY hot which is rare in MI.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

My dad's family lived in a Belarus city that was just across the border from Chernobyl. On the day of, it was also downwind from the power plant. My dad was there, visiting his family for the holidays. VOA was the only media outlet that was telling the city's residents to stay indoors, and why.

I will continue to scream from the rooftops that the number one thing stopping people who want to have families from starting them is the absolute disdain American policymakers have for young families.

Apropos for #Evol2025 discussions of where to host future Evolution meetings, a committee developed a rubric to help make a choice between locations (rubric doesn't cover whether to hold a meeting within US vs elsewhere, which is also a key decision). I also wrote an overview of this

The notion that generative AI has become something we "basically can’t function without it" is bizarre to me. If the popular AI models vanished overnight, the only immediate impact on my life would be that the fake accounts I write about would no longer be using generative AI.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

“What really motivated me to put it out now before waiting for a full peer review is that I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, ‘let’s do GPT kindergarten.’ I think that would be absolutely bad and detrimental,” she says. “Developing brains are at the highest risk.”

I signed up for this blocklist and I will vouch for it. Every time some horrible grifter shows up on the site and people keep talking about how wretched they are, I never see anything from them or anybody interacting with them, because this list already has them blocked for us. And it's free!
