I think it would be really funny if I only posted left-wing content on here from now on and only posted right wing and centrist content on X/Twitter, and people would be like "wait, you're the same person"?

Yes, this is fascism.
For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵

And guess which one meets today’s energy and structural code compliance? Guess one doesn’t? And also, guess which one is more likely to be around the next 50+ years without severe maintenance?
In Columbia City right now there's a perfect example of how density lowers prices. You can buy a brand new 1800 sqft townhome for 855k or across the alley a detached 1500 sqft SFH for 995k

The risk-reward calculation of mirror life is clear, I tell @newscientist.com. “The potential benefits are fairly limited, and the risks are very large.”
Grave warnings have been issued about the dangers of creating life forms using mirror-image molecules. How worried should we be?

This framing is super important

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:
Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.

LK-99 reproduced in a Big Lab and seems fully legitimate at this point. Just incredibly hard to make at any scale.
It's made from lead so lead poisoning is back on the menu, maybe safer than the last wonder breakthrough graphene which basically stopped because it gave people turbomesothelioma

Threads Vs Bluesky Vs your favourite other Mastodon server?
