There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

It's so unhinged to see the Nazi salute shit even being called a dogwhistle like no that is a Nazi salute!!!!!! That's just saying it out loud!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Elon Musk is literally just another fundamentalist Christian cult leader.

Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui giving the Nazi Salute at #CPAC

so this is just officially their thing now

I love that Moore's Law is so dead it's going in retrograde now (this also likely relates to folks buying cheaper machines, but IT STILL COUNTS) www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

if you're someone who cares about data privacy, Tenacity is a fork of Audacity from before they started to add questionable privacy policies. still open source and free, cool UI as well

i don’t know if this is healthy per se but i do think that trans people broadly are going to need to adopt an attitude of extreme cynicism to survive

Grimes is terrible, and just because Elon is treating her poorly doesn’t mean you need to stan her ffs

When trying to use ChatGPT for science, it straight up makes up citations (and makes false statements as if they are fact). It has done this every time I have tried it for science and when you call it out, it apologizes for doing it. How about just not making shit up? 🧪

Periodic reminder to fix your heart or die

"It's kind of been sad, because I've been trying to prove to people that it's a really awesome truck that's not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it's just... Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate and sad."

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

It's time to call it. AI is built on a house of cards of intellectual property violations starting with Facebook which is starting to look a lot like a crime scene as held back discovery documents begin to be compelled and unsealed in court. /1

i just can't muster the energy to be shocked that queer NGOs are erasing trans people. who thought the peoole making $400,000/yr running a "non profit" had our backs?

The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back. Well done AP👏

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

where are all the newspaper columnists calling for the cops to violently crack down on CPAC like they do on college kids? go bust some heads and ruin some lives for these scumbags like you do for kids protesting the killing of innocents?

SCOOP: The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, arguably the nation's most powerful scientific organization, is bending to political pressure and removing terms like "health equity" from pending reports. Members are not happy. Story by me: www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/n...

“NSF fired about 10 percent of its staff at the end of Tuesday, removing 168 people who included most of the agency’s probationary employees and all of its experts, a class of contract workers who are specialists in niche scientific fields.” — www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Nazi website “the Daily Stormer” had a style guide revealed by HuffPo in 2017. Its advice parallels with MAGA tactics now: Most people are not comfortable with material that comes across as vitriolic, raging, non-ironic hatred. The unindoctrinated should not be able to tell if we are joking or not.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

We’re hearing from multiple sources that center directors at CDC and/or NIH may be let go tomorrow. We are hoping this is just a rumor- passionate, dedicated leadership is needed during this time. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

very good thread!

i want this to be true - i love non-digital computing - but the ad itself just seems like slop. and everything preceding this has been vapid hype. can anyone with domain knowledge say if this is legit?

covid today is not the same organism as covid two years ago. maybe i am a weird pedant, but we really should not be using old data about a fundamentally different organism in a discussion about the disease today. that said, wear a fucking mask.
