There are basically two ways to save a country suffering from a wannabe strongman.

Another quick practice metallic friend. Most videos I've seen about ppl using shimmer watercolors like this is that they'll put details over an already completed piece. But idk ... maybe I'm a magpie. I want all the shine

This is a sleeper that's coming Tell Your Representative to Vote NO on the SAVE Act

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

If you are on #academicsky and aren’t following @trevorabranch.bsky.social @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and @carlbergstrom.com - you’re probably doing it wrong.

If you're not reading Josh Marshall, well... @joshtpm.bsky.social you should be. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/infle...

Millions of seniors and working families wouldn’t be able to see a doctor without Medicare or Medicaid. Our leaders should be fighting to protect AND strengthen workers’ health care, not threatening to gut it. www.newsweek.com/white-house-...

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

An important first-person account from someone inside OPM:

I've been lucky enough to see these a handful of times. They're always such a treat. When ppl come and ask "what's your fave bug to find?" This is always one of the answers.

If I ever call any of you "wavy mucksucker", it's okay, it just means fancy, with cool eyes.

Listen to him!

Those are Nazi salutes. They're Nazis.

"Gum Up the Works": David Sirota's Advice to Democrats on Reversing Trump's Power Grab

My friends, I have terrible news. I’ve written an academic paper about Bluesky and why it’s great for scientists Reviewers liked it and it got minor revisions But a peer reviewer requested that I remove my brief aside about ALF’s alien boy bits (as an example of the quirky culture here)

Iq is not a real graph of intelligence. It’s a test that some people took in the fourth grade and made it their entire personality for life. That said there is no chance in the world that Elon musk has a “high iq”. As the biographer says: dead average. PS: Nate Silver is stupid.

people are talking smack about velvy worms in the qrt like "ooh a devious worm-like creature, sounds like our US senators, haw haw" don't you dare besmirch the Ultimate Beast, the friendly and gentle walky which is beloved by everyone
