Tech bros and tech journalists pretending reading books to sand will somehow cause it to become sentient will never not be funny.

In small scale research, it was previously found that immunotherapy *before* cancer surgery appears wildly more successful than after. Below @dereklowe.bsky.social reports on another exciting result in this direction. Surgery as an adjuvant is what this smells like. www.science.org/content/blog...

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

How did I know they would completely defund Headstart? They wrote it down in Project 2025 .

If you're afraid of political retaliation or death threat, ENABLER Murkowski, here's two words for you: switch parties. Republican Senator Murkowski on threat of Trump retaliation: 'We are all afraid'. www.reuters.com/world/us/rep...

Donald Trump is angry that Senator Chris Van Hollen shined a spotlight on his morally bankrupt, anti-Constitutional and unhinged administration. Trump is a primadonna and failed reality star. Nothing more.
