Scott Galloway, NYU Stern marketing professor and host of The Prof G Pod, said business leaders — particularly tech CEOs — are complacently participating in America's "slow road to fascism." www.businessinsider.com/scott-gallow...

I honestly don’t hate the picture of all the Chicago cops protecting Tesla because showing a bunch of armed agents of the state openly enforcing Elons will is revealing the truth of our situation much more clearly than anything protestors could show

always a timely message but especially right now

this man just replied to all his love letters on VALENTINE'S DAY. pimp shit.

How the fuck are you supposed to find a missing trans kid without using the name they would be using for themselves?

So, so proud of this collaboration with @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social and so grateful to so many scientists—especially early career researchers—who spoke with us. “It is just common sense that in order to have the best science, we need the broadest, most inclusive environment for scientists.”

it seems incredibly inefficient that there’s states with conflicting laws where you’re a criminal in one and perfectly legal in another, if only there were a federal law that would solve this dilemma
