thing is, it WAS petty, it was petty af, but Cuomo is the one who ran as an independent after losing the primary and that's fucking disgraceful, the pettiness was DESERVED and objectively less bad. it was also very funny
Saw a clip of Chris Cuomo calling Zohran petty for referencing Mario Cuomo in his speech and it’s pretty interesting about where we are as a country that they had super pacs linking Zohran to 9/11 but still feel totally free to call someone else classless.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

It’s such a good idea that we used to have it
It's essential that a UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme is available to everyone, regardless of background. Every young person deserves the opportunity to travel, gain new skills, and experience different cultures.

I'm at the dentist, and they've put an artsy print of a molar next to a bunch of lilies on a small table and it feels like I'm at a funeral for a tooth

It's kind of wild how almost all politics in the UK is a demand for perfect systems that work 100% of the time and angry denunciations of systems that have redundancy or error checking as wasteful bureaucracy.

Lloyd Didcot, 32, took the unusual step to not carefully prepare a mental script for his coffee order last Friday and, subsequently, experienced the actual, literal torture of eternal damnation for about five minutes in his local Costa.
Autistic man neglects to plan conversation in advance, experiences literal Christian hell

Good news is, the mild pressure pain I was experiencing is entirely gone
Bad news is, so is most of the tooth 🙂

Autism question! Does anyone have any good links/resources for, like, what to *do* when you're diagnosed autistic? How to examine your thinking/beliefs, work out what masking is, learn self compassion etc etc? Broad question, but I really should do something with this knew self knowledge.

Favourite thing about my primary supervisor is that he is really stuck on the idea I don’t have a background in ecology. Ignoring the fact that I worked for him on an ecology related project for 18months before starting my PhD, or that I have an MSc in ecology and evolutionary biology

Saw someone share an article about a 9 month investigation to see if Twitter’s algorithm is amplifying far right content.
Next for that journalist: spending the best part of a year investigating if you can find shoes in a shoe shop.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
