The scientific method served humanity well for hundreds of years but it was rendered obsolete in 2013 with the discovery of Vibes

congratulations to meta platforms for creating the nation’s first sundown social media platforms

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

Sharing with permission. Please read/share. Some of you probably know who I’m talking about but one of our friends who spent time and effort fighting bigotry and misinformation was stalked, harassed, and kicked out of medical school because of it. Here is a snippet of his story in his own words: 🧵

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

On casual Fridays, you can wear a white sheet.

Hundreds of Mexican Firefighters arrived both today and yesterday in Southern California, to assist with the ongoing Wildfires in Los Angeles County. Most are with the National Forestry Commission and the Civil Relief Corps, with others coming from the Mexican Army.

Hard to overstate just how much of the tech industry’s horrifically dystopian present grew right out of its transparently misogynistic past

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

Something to remind you, it's a world worth saving.

"Idaho Republican legislators have introduced a resolution on Tuesday urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that established marriage equality nationwide."

I try not to tell activists their business, bc I'm not an activist. But if I were to offer my advice, it would be to fight like hell over trans sports bans and GAC bans, make it incredibly damaging and punishing to push those through, so the bad guys run out of steam before they get to Obergefell.

I am absolutely with Evan on this one. The "let's give them some wins so then they will seem more unreasonable if they keep pushing and we can say 'look we already made compromises, we are the reasonable ones'" approach has always been morally wrong but is also tactically a mistake. 1/

"she was concerned that if NYT were to hire trans journalists to cover trans issues it would create a perception of bias at the paper." This attitude is a disease.
