I am at an event in Los Angeles and true to the administration’s claims it is violent, bloody, profane, and full of murderers and dangerous evil people. I mean it’s a group of middle-aged guys playing D&D but it’s definitely all of that stuff.

Hey corporations, stop adding AI junk that nobody wants just so you can charge us for features we don’t use!!!

Hate it when only one news service has a story and you have to guess-are others still fact checking? Is this source just dead wrong? Or is it right and if so... Shit is going down.

He is 98. Love and respect the guy but this is going to be either Weekend at Bernie's or his voice with a cgi/ai body.

Donald Trump is sending in the Marines. This is authoritarianism.

I have been thinking about this quote the past few days.

We all just watched the Ghorman episode of Andor, right?

A cleanse. Take a breath and watch this.

This is awesome. But also LA boasts literally MILLIONS of hot people who have been training for years to deliver stirring monologues for the cause of justice! Deploy, auditioners!!

True story bro.

"The Declaration of Independence ... is the radical declaration of Americans that human beings have the right to throw off a king in order to govern themselves. That story is here, in the first video series of Journey to American Democracy called Ten Steps to Revolution.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Conservation is complicated.

The song The Highwayman still slaps.

The FEMA head didn’t know about hurricane season and they’ve gutted NOAA weather monitoring. Musk and RFK eviscerated our public health programs. The FAA is in shambles. Trump’s tariff reckoning is coming due. And the DHS head of counterterrorism is a 22-year-old bro. This summer is going to ROCK!

Just got my MMR booster, because I was out of antibodies and measles sucks. I usually don't have a bad post vax reaction for stuff like flu and COVID, but I'm wondering if this being a live vaccine if I'm going to be hating life tomorrow. Anyone have experience getting the MMR vax as an adult?

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

We published a piece in March saying the real Trump/Vought/DOGE goal was to bring universities to their knees, and now they’re just … saying it out loud. From our blog: altnih4science.substack.com/p/trump-is-a...
