Seems reasonable. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

A painful and unnecessary cut at the Space Agency ... they will get by but it's not cool that all of those who are on ground control and image analysis for the Webb will not be able to continue their work. www.space.com/space-explor...

The ruling junta's attempts to erase the Trans community are appalling. This article contains some concrete ways you can help. Trans rights are human rights.

A two-hour satellite view of the USA West coast, early morning today (23 Feb 2025). Hourly rain totals as high as 1/2", under these conditions a one-day total over 2", is expected here in Berkeley. But it is the breadth of the storm that is impressive.

Yikes... I hope reseller prices drop before this pair of sold out Dance Hall Crashers performances!!

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.

Anyway I know this is controversial but I like governments that comfortably feed and house their people instead of letting them starve or be homeless because of fascist political stunts

(USA- and California- centric) Since DEI is pretty firmly entrenched in EU, it might make sense to start buying groceries from EU-owned grocery chains. These include Trader Joe's and Lucky. Lucky is unionized in California, TJ's in Rockridge is union.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

It doesn't surprise me that AI software developed in USA is totally bloated, as evidenced by the Deepsink development. Software engineers have long abandoned making their code efficient. ChatGPT is written in Python, ffs. Whose bright idea was that?

Summary: HF makes active plans to dox Wikipedia editors.

The ACA preventative care case now at SCOTUS implicates a broad range of health care but don't miss its origin story: an employer, represented by Stephen Miller's group, claiming the religious right to deny coverage for PreP because it saves queer lives

In honor of our SF Symphony Holiday Gaiety show happening tomorrow, Friday the 13th, I'm going to conjure a creature that's part goat, part demon & part queen. It's a figure from Castro neighborhood folklore: Krampussy, aka the Gay Krampus. She steals the things queers love most. Hide your poppers!
