nice to see moral clarity from the *checks notes* *squints* *beckons aide* *whispers to aide* *listends to aide* *mouths WTF* Saudis

We, apparently, can no longer list “inclusion and exclusion criteria”. So this would effectively bar any human research of any kind.

And if you really want to understand in-depth what this means and be able to spot it easily (which you need to do in order to fight it) you should read Talia’s book about it. bookshop.org/p/books/wild...

Paul Krugman is one of the few long-time pundits I genuinely respect, and this is worth reading. contrarian.substack.com/p/departing-...

I appreciate this piece in The Bulwark greatly. It makes the serious, moderate, cis-friendly case that trans rights are not a distraction or a trifle to be easily dispensed with. www.thebulwark.com/p/we-all-los...

Abruptly stopping US Aid is a gift to our adversaries. It just proves we’re unreliable.

Does @theonion.com have an Arizona office now? This is beyond parody.

The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don't have birthright citizenship, even though they have for 100 years via @diinsilversmith.bsky.social

Give a white South African billionaire an office in the White House. What could possibly go wrong?

I just saw the first line of the link preview… and I legit thought this was describing how the Oval Office floor was covered with Diet Coke cans.

This is happening to thousands of people fighting for their lives because in real life, government does a lot of good and important shit.

We've come full circle, 'Copilot' is just Clippy, but it's infected everything. Clippy has become Gnosis @dropouttv.bsky.social

Does anyone else find a snow storm hitting DC on Inauguration Day a bit on-the-nose? We get it, it’s “A cold day in the nation’s Capitol”. Come on, I think we need some new faces in the writers’ room.

The utter insanity of seeing Hamas fuckwits parade around like they notched a victory for the liberation of the Palestinian people is so depressing. And the fact that many who support Palestinians are buying it is 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ If this is victory, I shudder to imagine what defeat looks like.

The technofeudal lords are jockeying for the favor of incoming monarch before his coronation. @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social

I’m calling it: the rate of electrocutions & house fires is going to significantly increase as a direct result of people trying to DIY their house based on Chatbot advice.

“That 70s show” was set 22 years prior to its air date. If it were made today, it’d be set in 2003. Some top movies: LotR: Return of the King Finding Nemo Elf Some top songs: Crazy in Love - Beyoncé In da club - 50 cent Ignition - R. Kelly

Peter Thiel seems to have read LotR in his teens and empathized with literally everyone in it BUT the hobbits & humans. “Palantir” is named after Sauron’s scrying spheres. Such a broken soul.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I feel like this news story would’ve made your last video MUCH shorter.

I'm not saying it was the space laser, but I'm also not saying it WASN'T the space laser...

So now meeting Paris Climate goals is “woke”. We are cooked, both literally and figuratively.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration. The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.
