Man I remember Malheur so well. Such a clear signal of what was to come. Some of the most privileged & entitled white men in the f'ing world engaging in open lawlessness in the name of their own imagined victimhood ...

... and getting away with it.

That's the true American template.
The Takeover of Malheur Kicked Off a Decade of Lawlessness
The wildlife refuge occupation set the stage for Trump, January 6, and so much more.

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.

“There’s no compression algorithm for experience”

Yet LLMs are being sold as exactly this.

sure `uv` is fast and all, but the experience is much shittier than pyenv. It also eats up a LOT of scarce disk space on my laptop. Switching back.

It’s worth pointing out that automatic weapons were banned in Australia years ago. Notice that each shot is just one at a time.

Imagine how much worse this could have been.

“look at them trying to rip away healthcare from this tiny population while your bills go up” would be a good message but instead politicians say we’re a “distraction” which is just transphobia in another tongue
Now that Democrats are out of office, it just doesn't have as much resonance. Now, you could easily flip it to say "President Trump cares more about his ballroom than bringing down costs." It's hard to make anti-trans messages stick when coffee and bananas cost more.

Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Rode in the worst smelling cab I’ve ever ridden in in my life. Almost threw up it was so bad. Immediately had to chuck all my clothes in the washer and take a shower. So. Gross. 🤢

As conference season is upon us, here is my #1 hot-take:

**Sessions are good actually!**

Everybody makes a big deal about the hallway conversations being the important part, downplaying sessions, which I think 100% misses the mark.

Remembering that one time 8 years ago when I laid out to my airplane seat neighbor how AI was going to decimate white collar jobs, knowing at the time I probably sounded crazy. Wondering if that guy remembered what I said as we see it unfolding.

Yep. The grift keeps on trucking
The U.S. spending $20B to bail out Argentina seems completely random until you find out that hedge fund billionaires bet on their right wing government’s doomed economic plan and could lose a lot of money.

So this is actually a U.S. hedge fund bailout which explains why Trump cares.
