I never grew out of wanting to be a marine biologist as a kid. There’s more math than expected. 🤩

Force need not be a uniform verb. Call out as propaganda directly. Name the war in G@z% the g-word it is. Stop catering to donors over people. Relentlessly force the Epstein files’ release by agreeing to nothing until they’re out. Foster a vision of the country, not just lame opposition. Need more?

When do we think the Dems will figure out they can’t tell a fascist admin what to do? They do. Not. Give. A. S*** about norms or the right thing to do. Dems have to figure out ways to force what’s right.

I’m with you here. For example, coconut milk ice cream is rich, and it’s yummy, but I do not think it is creamy. It hits very different from ice cream. And I do like it a lot! (Because lactose intolerant :)

Having an opinion doesn’t mean you should have unfettered access to spreading misinformation and propaganda, especially to vulnerable populations 👏🏻
China is apparently rolling out a law that requires influencers to have a degree to talk about important subjects like finance, health and law by the way. Given the amount of twats with podcasts single handedly spreading misinformation and destroying society, I don’t think this is a bad plan.

Intertidal crabs are totally badass. (Checks credentials…) I may be biased but I stand behind this on all 10 legs.

You had me at the first two and lost me here. We have all the tech we need, we don’t need any more tech bros with a self superior savior complex. We just need to actually use the tools we already have at scale.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

The only prayer that matters when it comes to the regular and repeated murder of American children while they are at school is the kind of prayer that is taking action, the kind of prayer that materially fights for the living, the kind of prayer that says "never again" and means it, from MN to Gaza.

As one can imagine, I have some thoughts. Here’s a thread no one asked for:

For some scientists fighting partisan attacks, the goal is to defend their work from political interference. But in retaliating, @katherinejwu.com reports, they also run the risk of advancing the narrative that they want to fight.
Scientists Are Caught in a Political Trap
Fighting back against the Trump administration means they start to look more like activists.

Hmm. I wonder which communities will predominantly bear the burden of these power plants and data centers?
Sure is funny how the supporters of this are happy to spend the public’s money on transmission lines to support their damaging and unpopular pet project. And yet they state no actual benefits.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.
Y'all this isn't sustainable.
