THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

I gotta make time to see my local reps about putting in some anti de-banking laws. This shit is ridiculous. Please, if you're a customer we need you calling to these card companies and banks to complain as it is increasingly difficult for artists to do so. They literally put Ana on a list!

I saw this post going around but didn't really have a clear sense of how bad the reporting was
Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...
When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…
1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work
2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

Day one of collective bargaining with a university is making sure the union team understands "we don't allow management to call themselves 'the university.' They are 'management.'"

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.
BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!
We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org
