Y'all. Please. Today and every day. Do not write down criminal intent. Do not post about doing illegal things. Don't email your revolutionary plans via gmail. Don't make murder jokes on discord. Use a tiny bit of filter. Don't assume you're too insignificant to matter. Just don't write it down.

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

MTG is positioning herself as the anti-Trump while embracing all of his racist, misogynist policies btw. Trump is dying. Vance is universally hated. She’s going to run for president.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

A reminder that these fuckos can’t do shit without our talent and if you work for google you should reconsider it.
NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials.

also not to be this guy but the Heritage Foundation was CLEAR that one of their goals in Project 2025 is to criminalize "pornography," the people who make it and the people who distribute it.

And remember porn here is used VERY broadly to mean anything with LGBTQ content.

So defend porn.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.
