Attracted to sweet food? 🍬

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social, I know you're probably being inundated with funding requests right now, but this would be really fun and impactful. It's the kind of thing that could easily be an iconic moment for this era.
Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

I remember when… you could peg someone as not-smart for repeating a lie. Lying seems to be mainstream these days. I down-vote dishonest dealings

Twenty years ago today, a massive earthquake struck the coast of Indonesia and sent a tsunami hurtling across the Indian Ocean. What followed was one of the most extraordinary online organizing campaigns I'd ever seen.

Someone in editorial at Chemosphere should be ashamed of this - the authors too.

60 * 7,000 != 42,000

Not complicated math, and not a typo as the authors say - this is a conclusion that no longer applies. This is a “check your work” example up there with the “cite the crappy Gabor paper?” thing. 🧪

More people should see this terrific film, "All You Need Is Death", by @paulduane.bsky.social -- I stand by every word of this
"All You Need Is Death", a claustrophobic, psychological creature feature, uniquely Irish in ways beyond the music, folklore, language; stalked by our carceral institutions and even the Troubles, tension exquisitely built by the Lankum sound, anchored by great acting performances. #allyouneedisdeath

Yeremi Colino was 18. He was an immigrant. He was killed after being asked if he spoke English. The NYPD isn't investigating his murder or the attempted murder of the person with him as a hate crime, and there is no reward offered.

Thank you for raising this, Anil.
Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.
