I also recommend Jonathan M. Katz’s fantastic article “Not Every Concentration Camp is Auschwitz”
for an understanding of the history and how such inhumanity is allowed to grow

Why It’s Fair to Compare the Detention of Migrants to Concentration Camps
Not every concentration camp is Auschwitz. The term is much older.

I just wish someone would be honest and say “we are ending civilian science in favor of science that is focused on serving national security and war”

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?

Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

Honestly, as someone who loves the Oscars, watches it every year, and has YouTube but not cable, this change is smart and makes sense. I’m sorry!
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Oscars will move to YouTube in 2029, departing the film awards' longtime home of ABC.

Now this is something I’d LOVE to see the “vote blue no matter who” crowd defend. IS THIS NOT CONCERNING AS FUCK?? Couple that with “wanting people to be NORMAL again”, no. Absolutely fucking not. I’ve had ENOUGH. I will not be voting newscum and I will drag ALL Of blue down with me. Fuck this

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

"I think your friends should kill themselves"

a bunch of people on this site have moral viewpoints that absolutely should never have been allowed out of the sewers that birthed them. "it's okay to kill yourself" is an *evil* belief

If you walked into the voting booth and put a fucking check mark next to "Donald J. Trump" for President, you cannot fucking say "I didn't vote for this". YES YOU DID. You checked the box, you posted the memes, you owned the libs, and now we are all being rewarded for your hatred and racism. Thanks.

Bluesky has genuinely revived my love for science communication online. After watching the same posts go nowhere on Twitter, seeing them resonate here has been such a good reminder of why I do this. Thanks for being here 🖤

Because if you care about securely owning a movie that you love--as opposed to "owning" it only until a license agreement over which you have no control expires without warning--you need a DVD or Blu-ray. The hardware may be yesterday; the concern is very much of this moment.
Why do (us) old people want to burden Gen Z with our nostalgia for an antique piece of hardware in the first place?
A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"

He said, "I don't know, like $500?"

Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

their decision to create a new department and name it “Homeland Security” was a blatant declaration of imperial overambition
Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

the entire political sphere in our country is driven by these people. the single ideology driving this country right now is “giving life to someone gives you the right to control them as property.” we either defeat this ideology forever or these people stomp on our faces forever

This is so perfect. In 2012 CPAC banned the John Birch Society. In 2023 they were welcomed back into the fold. And now here they are working together with TPUSA.
