Can’t wrap my head around how it cost even a small fraction of that price tag to make Second Life but worse. I can’t fathom it costing 100 million let alone a billion.

In an era where crisis pregnancy centers outnumber real abortion clinics three to one, raising the alarm about these fake clinics is crucial.

The world is burning. Here's what you can do. newsletter.freewillastrology.com/p/you-have-m...

I literally reported this Wednesday.

I’m going to ask people older than I am if they have ever seen corruption in this scale. Have you?

We gotta all be able to stand shoulder to shoulder for the foreseeable future.

It's a bad time to be someone who was sent to a cult/behavior modification program in another country as a teenager. I've seen first hand what people in power can do to vulnerable people and the state of the world is not so great for the ptsd.

I present to you... the dude who at one point made people seriously contemplate voting for Brianna freaking Wu just to get rid of him.

if you look at a bad thing that happened and assume, evidence-free, that it's because a Black person got a job they shouldn't have, you're not a "DEI skeptic," you're a dumb gutter racist

Just me, sending my health insurance network a letter asking how they are going to pro-actively protect our medical records in the event that the government makes moves to seize them, given the past and current events that indicate that the elimination of HIPAA protections is imminent, including:

Tennessee just passed a law that allows criminal charges vs local officials who vote for a sanctuary policy. Florida just passed a law empowering DeSantis to remove elected local officials who don't obey ICE. And: DOJ is threatening prosecution against a NY sheriff who didn't comply with ICE.

Any organization that is now abandoning its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies is also telling you something about why they adopted them in the first place.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

““We did not elect him,” a man shouted. As the town hall reached its scheduled end, more constituents shouted questions about Musk’s access to taxpayer data and yelled “don’t lie to us””

*Rips her paper, Gwen Ifill style*

Cybercucks to the glue industry, apparently?

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

say it with me: voters hate this

*Cacklesnorkel*

Once again I am telling you: if you have a uterus, do not wear an Apple Watch www.pcmag.com/opinions/if-...

PRELIM Earthquake: M3.5, 16.2 km SW from Maple Valley, WA at 2025/02/22 03:45 PST http://www.pnsn.org/event/62076946 Did You Feel It?: https://zpr.io/S9JMdGgDzZDm

The Cat's Back in the Bag for #Caturday.

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to the work they left behind.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Michael Young coined the phrase "meritocracy" as satire, and then he fathered Toby Young in case people didn't get the joke.

This officer doesn't belong here. A couple of straight, menstrual-cup wearing women who aren't afraid of a lesbian and don't appreciate a male police officer in their public bathroom could REALLY ruin a male cop's day.

Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

Science (and science policy, and conservation) friends, I need your help! We are collecting *specific, clear* examples of harms caused by the Trump administration's attacks on science, to be included in an open letter. Can be links to news stories/social media posts. 🧪🦑🌎 #SciComm #SciPol

Agreed. There’s no need for passport gender markers.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

In my latest article for @science.org, I reflect on the current challenges faced by early-career researchers, including delays in grant reviews, uncertainty around NIH funding freezes and changes, and the critical need for continued support and advocacy. www.science.org/content/arti...
