The only time I met Noah Smith in person (~2015) he introduced himself as “Noah, everyone follows me on Twitter” and then proceeded to drop multiple n-words singing along to rap during karaoke. Just a really terrible guy.

Ed Yong is such a real one <3 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

Good to see a popular educational Youtube channel (SciShow) make a concise video on #MECFS and why exercise makes it worse (8 mins). Also includes a brief section on the PACE trial. youtu.be/wxSwYUennBA?...

Thinking a lot about Sam Nordquist, the trans man who was held captive and tortured for a month in New York state before finally being beaten to death and his body dumped, and how the cops are misgendering him to the media.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Stealing the infrastructure we paid for. They're treating blue states and cities like we're conquered territory to be plundered.

We’ve had some cool guests over the years, Sara from Tegan and Sara, Kate Nash, Los Bitchos, Jess Traynor, Emilie Pine, Elaine Feeney, Carly and Tim from Rude Tales Of Magic, and coolest of all - any former guests reading this post. it’s a good time, you’ll like it

(NYT) - President Trump, furious about delays in delivering two new Air Force One jets, has empowered Elon Musk to explore drastic options to prod Boeing to move faster, including relaxing security clearance standards for some who work on the presidential planes. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

i repeat myself: when we say “you can become disabled at any moment” it doesn’t just mean you could have an aneurysm, it also means the state could declare you “unfit”— in need of “reparent”ing— for things recently considered normal.

(explaining bugs bunny to a girl) ok the thing you gotta know about this guy is hes basically never serious. He is always clowning on others

Happy tenth birthday to a real one

On this 16th day of #BlackHistoryMonth, I am sharing a zine I made many years ago titled “Resisting Police Violence in Harlem.” It was part of a series called historical moments in policing & violence. issuu.com/projectnia/d...

Let’s see what motivates this guy to join DOG…oh

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

Two important reminders from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social: -The Trump admin and its lackeys do not have have the majority of the public supporting them. -The number of people who ARE happy with the Trump admin will almost certainly shrink as time goes on. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

TODAY - 1PM - Seneca Park

It’s time to do what we do best: Make Republicans squirm and ensure Democrats fight like hell. Your representative is back home for recess and we’ve got events planned across the country (including Tesla dealerships). We know that showing up works and the stakes are too high to stay home. LFG. 👇

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

like, this is just fucking insane. the government is pretending that it passed the Inverse Civil Rights Act overnight and everyone is acting like it's a real law.

Want to organize around NYC public libraries to secure stable & expanded funding? NYC Public Library Action Network’s next meeting is March 16 from 2 to 4:15 pm virtually. If interested, email [email protected].

A few weeks ago, with input from other organizers, I created a document for a session that I facilitated on 1/26. The session was to help people who had participated in the How to Take Action Where You Are workshop series to create their personal activism/organizing plans.

Worked hard on this, and I hope it will be a useful resource for many. A beginner’s guide to Long COVID, with a discussion of mechanisms: www.thegauntlet.news/p/what-is-lo...

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake web.archive.org/web/20231206...

Not only are they killing the program, they're stopping payments to people who are ~3 years into a promised 6 years of funding. Those PIs have started projects, hired personnel, bought equipment, and now the rug is being pulled out from under them. Some shameful shit.

Happy Black History Month, everybody!

What a nightmare. The crashed plane is reported to be an air ambulance—and multiple homes and cars are said to be on fire on the ground. (This is in NE Philly, near the Roosevelt Mall.)

I'm not liking or sharing stuff w/o alt text. Disabled people are on the chopping block, show a little solidarity.

SO COOL that Vox Media had two rounds of layoffs in the past three months and keeps cutting our budgets and yet somehow there's $20 million for one person

One of my biggest complaints about 2025 so far is how everything is bad and airplanes are crashing

PLEASE DON'T SKIP ME :(( 🙏🙏 Extremely tired, If u see this post .. spread it comment 🍉🇵🇸 or even a dot . Help me plz chuffed.org/project/120232

Feels like a good time to remind everyone, and especially anyone who works at a grocery chain: If you see someone stealing the food they need to survive, no you didn't.

Obviously many groups have felt like this forever, and I’m very new to it, but it hurts every time to be reminded how much people AT BEST mostly don’t give a fuck about sick and disabled people, and at worst actively fucking hate us and want us to die, and that this includes many many “leftists.”

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

Does anyone know anywhere in Park Slope, Sunset Park, Downtown Brooklyn etc selling N95s? It’s insane that, 5 years in, these are still so hard to find
