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.

My verdict on Zootopia 2: Definitely worth it. At least as good as the first one, possibly even slightly better.

i'm quoting this interview a lot but it's full of incredible moments
the lesson you have to draw from this is:
you HAVE to be unapologetic about what you do. "fuck the rest of the world, we love furries and we're gonna show them that they love them too" is an inspiring attitude

I keep hearing rumors that Trump sucked Clinton off, but I don't believe them for a second.
You're telling me that Trump did something to make another human being happy, on purpose?
C'mon, it's not even a GOOD lie.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Their idea of “can’t afford it.”
Never forget:
AI is a tool designed to grant access to skilled labors to the rich,
without allowing access to riches to skilled laborers.
It is a means to widen the wealth inequality gap even further.
It's doomed to failure, but it's going to kill a LOT of people on its way out.

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”
