I don't work in showbiz, but I do see a lot of scripts. I'm not trying to build a public platform, just want to interact with like-minded people and post stupid Rx puns

W/alt; thanks to the commenter who provided it. A famous and important photo.

Hard to believe it’s been three years since two ambitious “progressive” Harvard professors, one affiliated with Jacobin, called for “half a million” more police because they felt the U.S. was “underpoliced.”

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Maybe Gov. Newsom could invite Stephen on his dumb fucking podcast like all the other fascists to "hear him out" and "give both sides equal time".

fucking hilarious for CNN to livestream a play about the importance of journalism during the McCarthy Era and then have a panel featuring Bret Stephens and Kara Swisher

Eat shit @thewhitehouse.bsky.social Eat all the shit

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Oh look, another spineless NY Dem political opportunist more interested in power than principles.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

"In two bizarre interactions captured by one student on video, a man who had been trailing the student faked disabilities, and noisily – and falsely – accused a student of attempting to rob him." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

lmao every tough guy wants to dress like a soldier and be treated like a soldier. none of them want to spend days shitting themselves in a shipping crate while someone fires rockets at them in the distance this isn't exactly what they deserve but it's pretty funny

Ai is a clout machine for liars

Even ChatGPT o.3 hallucinates papers when asked to do this. Submitting a narrative CV that includes papers that you didn't write and don't exist strikes me as a serious, actionable instance of academic misconduct. TERRIBLE ADVICE from Andrew's office of research services.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

This is what’s needed. Intelligent people witnessing the dangerous consequences of foolish gutting of important agencies and both warning the public and urging them to call their representatives. Next we likely need meteorologists leading street protests.

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

Healey's "they've made mistakes" rhetoric is weak. No, Governor Healey, ICE is trying to terrorize immigrant communities, and you have been doing next nothing to stand up for them. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

It's not comforting to realize that the United States -- which fared much worse in pandemic deaths per population than most other wealthy countries -- will end up being *much, much less prepared for the next pandemic*

This is NOT a joke

Must just be some kind of wild coincidence that local cops are attacking actions that aim to prevent ICE abduction

A program officer [said that Trump’s NIH Director Bhattacharya] “is in over his head but lacks the self-awareness to know that.” Another staffer said he came across like someone who “never learned how to be called out for being incorrect.” Exactly. Great piece. Must-read. 🧪

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

This is why medical expertise matters and why it is demonstrably fatal to have health agencies run by unqualified hacks who value their grifts and political ideologies over empiricism.

NEW BIG TOP BURGER THIS IS NOT A DRILL

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Happy Pride month. Enjoy this video of a trans-friendly restroom.

Silicon Valley is a factory generating a million guys a year braying "the problem with every public good is that I'm not making money off it, and this app fixes that" and people still wonder why capitalism must be destroyed
