Apropos of nothing: I’m genuinely not surprised at all that so many evil people turn out to be actually fucking stupid, because being evil has always been the easier option.

At least 12 universities now have hiring freezes and nearly 30 have cut PhD admissions this year If you hear of other places you can add them to this google doc:

Why is the shortest month lasting FOREVER?

Not sure how planes work but apparently woke is a big part of what keeps them in the air

It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

Over half of the US Black population lives in the South in red states. So it's disgusting to see people use elections to blame everyone (including those who don't vote Republican) as a whole during disasters. It shows how badly US electoral politics fries people's sense of the world around them.

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

Justifying victim blaming in cases where victims have been immoral, unethical, and harmful just creates the fallacy that abuse can be denied if you just dig up or make up bad things the victim has done. We see this play out every day

More than a million people died in the Indian Partition. Absolute ghoul.

They’re condemning us to be sick, poor, and stupid.

For my @xtramagazine.com column, I wrote about Trump's EO about sex and gender does not match with how people actually live their lives. Missing and exploited trans kids will pay the price. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...

ME: if the day before today is called yesterday then the night before tonight should be called yesternight DETECTIVE: ok where were you yesternight

I'm so inactive, my Fitbit sent my family a bouquet of flowers and a sympathy card.

This gets the biggest "OBVIOUSLY" from me but...yeah. Obviously.

I LOVE VACCINES, AUTISM, ABORTIONS, HOMOSEXUALS, SEX/GENDER CHANGES AND CRIME.

It’s weird looking for jobs rn because it’s like, “well if the world is ending in a week or two I probably don’t need a job”

Israel has broken the ceasefire agreement every single day since they signed it.

If it takes NOPD this long to find a criminal statute to charge him under, it's pretty clear that no crime was committed. They're trying to criminalize what's at best a contract dispute

For so many reasons. (Reposting with alt text.)

JD Vance has three half-Indian kids, but he decided to cape for a 25-year-old dipshit who tweeted “normalize Indian hate”

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

poetry is good, you were only conditioned to hate it

Once again reminding y'all that first thing the Nazis in Germany did was burn down a queer library

bird break take a break look at a bird bird break (photo by me)

Yes, this is the lab that hosts “drag and tag,” shark tagging research with drag queens that raises money for Florida LGBTQ youth. We could sure use your support, and you get an amazing adventure out of it! www.scientificamerican.com/article/drag...

be born rich. I didn't take this advice, and I've regretted it ever since.

"The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 — money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks, the AP wrote in December. Parole numbers have also plummeted in recent years." Slavery by another name indeed.

Hey Twitch, None of the "Channels We Think You'll Like" are Channels I like

Survive any way you can.

it’s important to find joys in the little things these days. like headlines that say “investors are freaking out”

“Oh, I get it now,” I say when I don’t get it but I want the interaction to end.

Weird how worried Wall Street is about DeepSeek, weren’t they just saying AI innovation is good even if it harms some people in the short term

🚨 BREAKING: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has REMOVED their pages on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity discrimination. Legally, Title VII and Bostock v Clayton Co still stand, so it's unclear if the EEOC is just removing it from their website or not enforcing it at all

i think if any of these AI bros were remotely serious about using this technology to improve society they'd be excited at the idea of someone managing to run laps around them for 1/10th the computing power but instead they are seething, sinophobically

queer folk have been pointing out that this is written into project 2025 since it was published, too

This goes so fucking hard dude

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday left in place Mississippi's Jim Crow-era practice of removing voting rights from people convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent crimes.

therapist: we are 100% confidential here me: oh nice therapist: unless you say you want to die bc then we have to tell literally everyone
