I teach a science media literacy module in all my courses.

It includes knowing the difference between a press release and a reported news story.

Here's a really interesting new research paper about public understsanding of that difference! #SciComm 🧪

The ending to the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels will become corrupted simply by Mario being too close to the right edge of the screen. While Mario will remain normal, Peach will become an uncanny jumble of corrupted graphics.

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims.

Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access.

Are you getting it yet?

at the ICE protest tonight in Portland, after we all got gassed, I found what I thought was a zippo pouch. It is in fact a medicine bag, in the indigenous use of the term. I only opened it enough to find that out.

If you know who belongs to this let me know and I can get it back to them.

That's because it's still not quite socially acceptable to outright say "I support nazi race science and eugenics and the hierarchy of races" yet, but if everyone keeps pretending they don't understand what a dog whistle is they'll get there soon enough, don't worry.
A reminder that Reform's candidate for Gorton and Denton, Matt Goodwin, has still not explained what he meant by this claim that developments in genetic science will make younger generations more right wing as they understand the "inherent differences" between different groups

"[victims' lawyers] cite examples of FBI documents with full names left unredacted, including those of victims who were minors at the time of their exploitation. One email listing 32 minor victims had just one of the names redacted, the letter says."

Once you see it you can't unsee it, the theory of change for these people is as follows

1. Cripple a nation's economy via collective punishment. 2. (Hopefully) induce protests about the economy as a result. 3 Take these protests as a casus belli to topple the regime. 4. Cripple it more if 2 fails.
It's worth talking about how these people, nominally Democrats, repeatedly reaffirm that the point of the sanctions ie collective punishment which in turn will hopefully induce internal regime change. It's outright stated here that even if Iran did zero enrichment sanctions should not be lifted.

I think it's funny that this interview gave Chotiner a chance to reference this thing he tweeted about 4 years ago

An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.
