This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Elon can’t manage his own company well (TSLA plummeting) or protect X from cyber attack. But don’t worry: Trump assured us that the foreign-born, ketamine-addicted egomaniac definitely cares more about you and this nation than he does himself and his companies. #ETTD

If Musk and his Technoboyz can't stop a cyber attack at X, maybe they shouldn't have access to our Social Security? Just brainstorming.

So they banned research that would help women and girls because it happened to mention trans men too, then lied about it Literally what we said would happen. The attacks on trans people harm cis women too. They aren't "defending women", they're attacking them too

People say they want more study into the effects of puberty blockers and HRT, but then mock actual studies into it.

For the millionth time, stop using this meme. The original context was Norm Macdonald joking about the brutal rape and murder of Brandon Teena, a trans man. It was depraved to say it at the time and it's worse that people continue to share this.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

(1/2) Supposedly TikTok released this information on their algorithm (I say supposedly because I couldn’t find a primary source for it), but I think it’s worth a discussion! What’s good about TikTok’s algo? What could be improved?

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton goes fastest and moves to P1. Had to say it out loud to see how it feels. Takes some getting used to.

Even Elon’s own AI knows what a liar he and Trump are. Elon’s Grok AI, like many reasoning LLMs, display their “thoughts.” And in this process, successfully leaked their prompt. User onil_gova on Reddit

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Three years ago, Judith Butler predicted in a Guardian interview that “gender-critical” feminists would not be part of the fight against fascism. This caused a massive “GC” backlash, prompting The Guardian to censor the interview. And yet here they now are, definitively proving Butler correct.

when shit feels particularly bad i remember a concert i went to for the band RIOTNINE where they got a room full of trans people screaming “DEATH BEFORE DETRANSITION”. it was and still is one of the most moving moments in my life and it’s been on my mind today

An EO is the beggining of a fight, not the end. No one person or law can prevent people from accessing the care they need to live be it reproductive care or HRT. DIY resources exist. We've survived worse times. We're not going anywhere. Take care of yourselves and reach out for help if needed.

WE PROTECT US! We cannot win if we are tearing each other down, dog piling, and in fighting. I don’t care if you use AI or not. I don’t care if we don’t see perfectly eye to eye on every issue. We have to have each others backs. We are facing an existential crisis and threat. Focus on the enemy

If we on the left don’t begin using tech to our advantage we WILL lose. We can be the ones establishing the safe and ethical use of the tech or we can let the fascists do it. Study up.

Great Idea! /s Let’s infight and tear down people for not holding some mythical ethical line in the sand. If this was about power usage, your 10+ posts arguing about AI used more power than this creator did writing a list. We need to band together right now and not tear down people doing the work.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025. Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee. Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.
