In addition to this being appalling from Sen. Gallego, the fact that the senior editor at The Dispatch frames it as coming from a "rising star" Dem and in opposition to "progressives" — as opposed to in opposition to virtually every elected Dem except Suozzi, Moulton, and Newsom — is trash.

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"I asked ChatGPT…" Yeah, well I asked my cat and she said, "pbbrrthprth" and that means, "you’re a fuckin loser."

Any time evangelical attitudes towards LGBTQ ppl come up (like today with the Swedish anti-trans doctor) I feel like it really goes missing that: LGBTQ Christians exist and have a right to the enjoyment of their beliefs and practices without being spiritually abused by anti-LGBTQ Christians for it.

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

the mRNA vaccines are an absolute miracle of science that saved millions of lives and we're going to throw the entire technology out because they could not vaccinate society against putting the worst and most ignorant people alive in charge of our medical system

unions: they get the job done

Congratulations to Katie Miller for being literally the only woman in the world for whom joining Elon Musk’s harem would be a step up.

I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/

For folks living in the United States, participating in this sort of thing is a federal crime and will land you on the radar of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control If you don't go broke defending yourself from the federal indictment first, you'll likely go broke while you're in federal prison

NEW: Illinois legislators passed a law to explicitly prevent police from ticketing and fining students for minor misbehavior at school, ending a practice that harmed students across the state. By @jodiscohen.bsky.social & @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

I just C'mon The tool that gives you like 50-100 words when you're stuck is inside your skull!!!! Or maybe weed! Or a nice walk! Or literally anything else!

Well actually. Ed sprawled out on a soft chaise, wearing a silk dressing gown & pearls, while Izzy hand feeds him sweets & Stede reads him stories

I love EdIzzy

as always, there's an intersection of possible non-exclusive explanations: 1. cognitive decline 2. routinely denying responsibility for everything 3. he's not actually in charge

4 days left of this fundraiser. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported so far! I have 25 patches remaining and would love to find them all homes (which would also be another $150 for Mermaids UK) ko-fi.com/s/52894c1c92

we should kick out the American ambassador. as a bit.

how is he so cute 🥺

please, please remember as you rightfully scream at JK Rowling and protest her and her world and boycott HP and do all those very good things, that none of this is these kids' fault. They aren't 80 year old John Lithgow, they are little kids with underdeveloped nuance who got a job to play wizards

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

conito bonito of the day... day 130 sir

lol spacex has apparently lost attitude control of the big metal spaceship after the cargo bay door failed to perform a simulated satellite deployment

Jesus Christ.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

For nothing. FOR NOTHING. For fucking nothing! I'm having problems with everything that's happening but the bit that lays large eggs in my brain is that this is all happening for no reason other than rich white people got sad the world isn't 100% about them anymore.

ed putting up his slutty little manbun to go sexually menace izzy evil style like what was that

Worth noting that this is also what the UK government review found, it just ignored all the evidence in its conclusions.

I liked humans, I liked watching them on the entertainment feed, where they couldn’t interact with me. Where it was safe.
