We hold these truths to be self-evident: Women are equal to men. Gay is equal to straight. Cis is equal to trans. Indigenous is equal to non. Top is equal with bottom. I'm one of those 'autistic kids' who would 'never hold a job' working at the hospital.

Here's a video of Dutch cops silencing a woman shouting "free Palestine." Yaaay freedom!! Yaaay democracy!! Look at the good little piece of shit storm troopers defending their "liberal democracy." I mean, it's "not" North Korea, right? They said North Korea and China are "dictatorships", right?

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

You may take associative memory for granted, but it’s what allows you to remember a moment from a specific scent, or a full melody from a few lines of lyrics. Physics helped bring a form of this memory to computers.

If we could turn the angst of men not getting laid into solutions for women; then maybe both can be solved at once. Toxicity is weakness, stop listening to the brociopathic talk show hosts selling eating disorders and gender affirming testosterone.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Nope, looking side-by-side photos of the same object from the Hubble and the James Webb space telescopes will never stop being cool. Take this photo of Messier 104 ("The Sombrero Galaxy") - amazing in both optics. 🧪

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

The UK and the US are becoming a very particular kind of “poor country”. Not poor overall in the big league tables, but in a situation where the average citizen lives in poverty. And if that doesn’t motivate you to change things, I don’t know what will? From @dannydorling.bsky.social’s book.

Let me add something on the new Harvard letter story. The Times portrays it as they'd been negotiating in a kind of inconclusive and then Harvard was shocked at the extremity when it arrived. I had heard a subtly but significantly different version of events. As it was conveyed to me the ...

Actress Holly Robinson Peete, the mother of a 27-year-old with autism, says RFK Jr. "got everything wrong when he said that autism destroys families." "I simply can't imagine being HHS secretary & speaking on autism so negatively... If you're going to talk about us, you need to learn from us."
