This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

Palantir unlocked a new category of evil for it's evil products.
In a more just world everyone involved in this would be sued to oblivion.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

I dislike it when either party tries to make silly dumb wordplay on their opponents names. It's lazy; attack policies, not names.
That being said... Without audio on, I'm going to assume she means "new scum" and not "news cum", which would be objectively funnier.

After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.

Satanic Temple sketching out it's curriculum as we speak.
Amazing reporting from @chalkbeat.org: Christian Nationalist law firm Alliance Defending Freedom was involved in setting up Colorado's first "Christian public school" specifically so it could get another case to the Supreme Court over whether public money can fund religious schools
After the Supreme Court tied on religious charters, Alliance Defending Freedom asked a Colorado school district lawyer to initiate a "parallel case," according to emails obtained by Chalkbeat. A self-described Christian public school opened a few months later. www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/202...

We spoke of metal rock, in another thread. Where did metal come from? I think it resulted from acid, and amplifiers, and I think this band was one of the proto metal bands. This lp. It draws on blues, and psychedelia, but the metal is strong in this one. Especially the 2nd track, Doctor Please.
