#mood Some people are bad and they don't give a damn What they do or who they hurt. They go through their lives and don't apologize For the shit that they've disturbed. But they don't bother me at all cuz I know quite well www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHKX...

Oh nooooo I'm going to hell for laughing at this

#5BulletPoints: *Bought every property in the world above the 39th floor in prep of melted ice caps *Programmed the AI to waste everyone's time on hold *Started a children's TV show then cryogenically froze myself 40 years *Created a fictional island to send USAID $ to *Made bufotoxin pancakes

I told OPM what I did last week

'prison rape shouldn't happen to anyone' is one of those sentiments that should not be nearly as controversial as it is

Saw a random Youtube video about the $7 million in medical bills for some NICU triplets, and thinking of this, and I'm just SO MAD at a certain economist (*cough*SoahNmith*cough*) ranting about "Medicaid was made to sound like Medicare so you'd be tricked into supporting TEH WELFARES!!!!"

Perfect 👌

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

This is the first movement from Sen. Fetterman, please fill out immediately if you have been impacted. Please circulate Penn, Pitt, PSU, Temple etc @cbartman.bsky.social

HE WOULDN'T HAVE DIED OF PNEUMONIA IF I HADN'T SHOT HIM!!!!! #ArsenicAndOldLace

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

I actually HAVE a radical gender ideology and it is this: we should CRISPR people without their consent to experiment with fungi-like 17,000 sexes. 2-10 is so BORING!!!

like pandemics, inflation, and bank runs, herd behavior makes recession risk significantly more virulent

what is actually wrong with Sethuraman Panchanathan??

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science. This helps me remember what this is all about. Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.

1: #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #LatinX/einSTEM #QueerSTEM #Science Please share! I'm running a survey on how *U.S.* academics (grad students, faculty, admin., etc) think and feel about recent executive orders affecting academia (e.g., diversity, funding). Here iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

Not *every* brain skill we lose to technology is a problem, and I don't like memorizing phone numbers.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Dark but fair

The writers have really outdone themselves this season

Take one day and don’t buy anything unless you absolutely have to. Nothing online and nothing in the store. Let’s move in solidarity for a day of economic blackout. Let’s see how it goes, join us

Did you guys see this? Did everyone in the world see this

I think we oughta just let ChatGPT answer this one

Somebody needs to program an app where you enter your interests and it gives you a menu of 5 options for the week that are most relevant and then you select 1-3 and it writes a script for reading to your senator.

This is how ‘Dr.’ Death is going destroy vaccine programs and make vaccines unaffordable to most. “Insurance companies are mandated to cover recommended vaccines; however, if the CDC and ACIP don't make a recommendation for a new vaccine, insurers have the autonomy to decide whether to cover them.”
