As we roll into another Dark Age where political power, bigotry, and money are joined to a.i. slop to dilute knowledge in an ocean of bullshit.
The number of low-quality or fraudulent publications is rising to hundreds of thousands per year. It is time to reevaluate current publishing models and outline a global plan. Read the 'Reformation of science publishing: the Stockholm Declaration': royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #RSOS 🧪

So now you're going to what... lose a bunch of atc's and go look for the same sort of assholes you hired for ICE... incompetent goons who were just too afraid to touch brown people so couldn't do that?

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is
I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

to @schiff.senate.gov & @padilla.senate.gov, as a registered CA Democrat, I am furious about what I'm hearing about y'all selling out my healthcare & hiding who was responsible! the post below summarizes my position: if you don't publicly call for Schumer's ouster, I will assume you were in on it!
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Well, we know Trump doesn't believe in vengeful ghost tales.
This is astonishingly evil. Donald Trump wants to end the American dream of home ownership. With a 50 year mortgage, most home buyers will never pay off their homes, will remain in debt to the banks and be forced to work for the rest of their lives.

We're all just exhausted and when the baby is sleeping the crying and tantrums and throwing things stops and we can catch a nap.
"He's finally down?"
"Out like a light."
"Thank god."
"You say that, but it's your turn to change him when he wakes up."

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Fair warning: I am pre-writing "You're dead to me" obits of everyone on Bluesky who gets on my nerves, to be released after I block them or they block me or both.
Admittedly, it's probably mostly gonna be a lot of swearing. But it's gonna be out there, on the internet where nothing is ever lost!

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The Republicans are failures as the majority party in power for good governance because they want government to fail. "Drown it in a bathtub."
The Democrats are failures as the minority party in opposition of poor governance because they want government to work. "Let's find a way to do *something*"
